Today’s To-Do List
Monday is my day off and I’m staying super busy! This is more for my purposes but in case you’re interested, here’s what is on my agenda: -Can more green beans (they’re on the stove now)-Bake bread-Call the builder-Call the plumber-Call on prices for an automatic cattle waterer-Balance the checkbook/pay bills-Find the title for a trailer we’re selling-Call the orchard to order peaches (Mmmm!)-Scope out vacation destinations online (this is coming up fast!)-Make the weekly menu plan-Make granola bars if time allows-Finish knitted baby shower gift and make progress on wedding gift The bathroom needs to be painted and the landscape worked on but it is incredibly hot and humid/sticky so I won’t be doing either of those things today. I’m hoping to bust through the rest of the list so I can just knit and work on the bread. I’d love to hear what you’re doing today! 🙂

This week is going to be a crazy one for me I think. We have a different vet filling in at work and although she is very good and friendly she takes a looooonnnggg time with each client so I’m prepared to stay late most nights. I also have Thursday off instead of Monday so that throws a wrench in things. We’re taking the last of the colored rangers to be processed Tuesday night so Wednesday after work I’ll be busy bagging and weighing them. I promise a full review on the birds once they are all done. So here’s what we’re eating: Monday: Brats (for Brian) and a little steak (for me) on the grill, chips, watermelon Tuesday: Parmesan Baked Chicken, Baked seasoned potatoes Wednesday: Chicken sandwiches and fries Thursday: Homemade pizza and breadsticks Friday: Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, chips, watermelon Lunches will be mostly leftovers, yogurt with fresh, local berries, and sandwiches. For breakfast Brian likes eggs and I have muffins or toast. For dessert…well… we’ll see if I get to that this week! 🙂 What are you eating? What is your week going to be like?

Monday: Lil’ Smokies + Rice Tuesday: Sirloin Steaks + Baked Potatoes (on the grill) Wednesday: Buttermilk Baked Chicken + Mashed Potatoes Thursday: Homemade Chicken Nuggets + Fried Garlic Potatoes Friday: Breakfast for supper (homemade waffles, bacon, hashbrowns, eggs) I’ve decided just to list suppers for awhile. Our breakfasts are usually something from the stash of frozen muffins and pancakes or eggs and toast for Brian. Lunches are usually leftoves, a sandwich for Brian, a PB&J or hot dogs for me. Dessert: So far it has been storebought Oreos for me – I’m feeling weak. Brian finished the No-Bake Cheesecake today. If I whip something up I’ll post it. What are you eating this week?
Continue readingThe Trouble With A Menu Plan…
The trouble with a menu plan is that: A) You have to make one before it works and B) When you have one you really come to rely on it and when you don’t it makes for a miserable week!! I thought about it on Monday but never quite made time since I had to work this Monday (my normal day off). I thought about it yesterday but made dinner and dessert and then it was 10 o’clock! Today is the day I guess. I know you’re wondering if it is even worth it now? Yes, it is. Now that I know what it is like to plan ahead I HATE coming home and trying to figure out what to cook. Here it is: Monday: Tacos for Brian, I never really ate dinner. Tuesday: Spaghetti (with herbs and butter for me, meat sauce for Brian) with Quick Cheese Bread (this recipe is a winner! We’ve had it twice now) Wednesday: Parmesan Crusted Walleye with Roasted Herb Potatoes Thurday: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Soup & Peas Friday: Breakfast for Supper – French Toast, Hashbrowns, Bacon, and Eggs Breakfasts this week consist of those blueberry waffles I made for me, I’m not
