Menu Monday - on Tuesday :0)

This Week's Menu     
       As always there are a few repeats from last week onto this week, because I ended up not cooking a couple of those meals, so they just get bumped to this next week.  I already know I have everything on hand to make them, so why not. The Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken from Chef in Training was actually pretty good. I think I will make it again. 
         This week is already crazy & I am already stressed. It my birthday on Saturday. I am turning 30 on the 30th. It feels like a big number to me.  But most importantly:  We are a having almost all of our family (on both sides) in town for the weekend because we are blessing my beautiful baby on Sunday. Which means 71 people will be hanging out at my house . . . . see the stress? So we are trying to get things put together, made, straightened. & finishing the last details that you need when that many people come to celebrate. So yeah. I shouldn't even be on the computer today, but I just needed to say hi. (Hi!) Then I will get back to work. So here is what we are eating this week. 


Monday:
        B- Waffles
        L - Mac 'N Cheese
        D- Monterrey Chicken w/ Corn on the Cob


Tuesday: 
         B- Ranchos  Juevos
         L- Undecided
         D - Rice Sausage Casserole.

- Informal recipe for my dear friend Barb:    Make about 2 cups of rice, brown the sausage of your choice. I usually do 1 lb, but we like sausage. Chop up some celery. Open 2 (or whatever it needs to be moist) cans of cream of mushroom soup. Mix it all together in your cake pan. I sometimes add a little soy sauce if it needs some salt. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until hot all the way through. Eat & Enjoy.   It isn't fancy but we still like it every now & then.

          B- Sticky Rolls
          L - Leftovers

Menu Monday

This Week's Menu     
   I have been so lucky after having this baby a little over a week or so ago for so many people helping me. I haven't had to cook a meal in about 12 days.  It has been nice & refreshing. I think every momma needs week or so off from cooking to help them take a break.  But we are getting ready to jump back into the full swing of life. So here we go with this weeks menu.

Monday:
        B- Scrambled Eggs ,
         D- Beef n' Broccoli

Recipe for Beef & Broccoli
     Cut up your choice of beef & marinate in sauce for 30 minutes  or a day before. (Keep in mind of I have not marinated the meat & just made it up & cooked it immediately & it was still delicious. )
   Sauce
    4 T. Soy Sauce                                     1 tsp. Garlic
    4 T. White Sugar                                    2 green onions cut up
    2 T. Oil                                                  1 T. Sesame Seeds

Mix everything together but the sesame seeds & add meat. Let marinade if you can, if not dump into to a pan & begin to cook until meet is almost done. Add as much broccoli as you desire & cook until done. Add sesame seeds just before serving.  Serve over rice.


We usually double the sauce recipe because we love it so much. I can't give exact amounts because at this house my boys love cooked broccoli so usually I  can't put enough in.  It is yummy, quick & I almost never make enough. Oh yeah & I never have sesame seeds at our house, so I have actually never made it with them in it.

Tuesday: 
         B- Whole Wheat Pancakes
         D- Homemade Chicken Pot Pie w/ steamed Asparagus

Wednesday:

Linking up as well to Menu Plan Monday on Org Junkie.  

 This last week TO DO list didn't get very far, so most of it is carry over. I am hoping to be a little more successful. I did get the sewing done for Robyn & I must say I thought they looked cute. I did finish a couple of crochet projects done. So I will post  pictures of all my finished projects later. Also my office did get cleaned so that is nice.

This Weeks TO DO LIST

• At my husbands request: ALL laundry washed & put away by Tuesday night before he gets home ?? (Questions marks because it doesn't really thrill me, but does need done).
• Edit & Post Pictures from Blain Reception
• Edit & Post pictures from Reed Baby Photo Shoot   (Done!!)

• 

   We did make our trip to the post office last week, & that was fun. I have never had a tour of the post office. We are really focusing on reading this week in home school & have our 1st official spelling test. We practice spelling words, but we don't have a "test" on them very often. So we will see if it is something we like or not.   I found some cool homeschooling stuff on pinterest this morning & may put off finishing the different classifications of animals & do a unit on the body. I have to check my overall sheet to see where I am.     
   Well I should get moving, though I am slow. Something about having my hubby out of town makes my days seem to drag. I could never be an military wife, but give huge props to those who are. Anyways Happy Monday to you all & we will see you tomorrow. Or later today. Who knows! : ) 

Slowly Getting Back :

Sorry for the leave of absence. Life has been crazy & wonderful. I am sure to tell you more about it later, but just letting you know we are here, & that you will get a real post tomorrow. But my husband has one more day off before he returns to work  He is still recovering from a surgery 3  days before Christmas. Nothing serious, but we have been laying pretty low.  I am excited to show you our wonderful break. Here is a glimpse on some of the fun we had. 

With more of those to come & others, along with some fun stuff from Christmas & I will finally show you my finished Christmas projects.  I couldn't show them to you before because honestly they didn't get done until Christmas Eve. But I will show you what we made the kids, but I am still trying to get back on track. So for today (a day late) I am sharing with you our Menu Monday. Which I used to do consistently, & in order to keep with my new years resolution (A whole post about that one). I am starting to share, but next week, it should be on Monday. Which was actually planned yesterday, just never posted.  For some reason I think it is always interesting to see what people eat.
