  • Good Eats for this Week!

    Good Eats for this Week!

    I’m late getting my menu plan posted, but better late than never! I have the filling for the Crispy Turkey Wellington for tonight’s dinner already made and in the fridge. The Almond Poppy Seed Bread for breakfast in the morning is in the bread machine. I’ve been busy in the kitchen, but found some time […]

  • On Our Table For The Week of March 1, 2015

    No lengthy explanations about my absence, at least not today. Instead, I’m just going to jump back in with a full week’s menu plan, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! (This post may contain affiliate links. Affiliate links will be noted with a double asterisk **.) MONDAY: Breakfast – Waffles Lunch – Hot Roast Beef, Monterey […]

  • Menu for Week of February 1, 2015 – Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

    I’m back to planning all three meals for my family. I’ll tell you why later this week. It’s complicated and embarrassing and I should have known better, but I’ve learned a valuable lesson. I’m not beating myself up over it, there’s nothing to be gained that way. I’m extending myself grace, knowing that what I’m […]

    Weekly Menu – Week of January 12, 2015 (with recipe links)

    It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! We were on vacation in Disneyland for six days (yay!!), and we call came home sick (boo!). In the week that we’ve been home, we’ve taken down all of our Christmas decorations, celebrated a birthday, and tried to get ourselves healthy and well. Meals have been a bit […]

  • Our Menu – Week of December 8, 2014

    It’s December. In California. We have, thankfully, had some really good rainfall. Our drought stricken state desperately needs more. It’s really warm, though. On Saturday, when I put together this menu plan, I had a few windows and a couple of doors open until after dark. When I went outside, there were so many frogs […]

  • Menu Planning Happens Differently Now

    My household dynamics are much different these days than they were a year ago. My husband is retired, but he’s currently working almost full time as an “on call” deputy sheriff. Aaron works at least forty hours a week, but with his almost hour-long commute, he’s gone from home from 2:00 p.m. until the wee […]

  • Juggling The Dinners Menu Plan

    I made my menu plan for this week before I knew which days, if any, Copper would be working, and before Will’s coach sent out the week’s baseball practice schedule.  I’m glad I didn’t wait. Will’s baseball practice schedule wasn’t released until Sunday afternoon, and we were gone all day celebrating Copper’s dad’s 81st birthday […]

  • Baseball, Company & Good Eats

    We won’t play our first game for a few weeks yet, but baseball is still keeping us hopping. Will has three practices a week, and all right at the time that I’d normally be prepping and cooking dinner. Having a well thought out menu plan is essential. We’re having company, at least a couple of […]

  • Menu Plan – Spring Training Has Begun!

    It’s that time of year again! Baseball is now going to be a huge part of our lives for the next few months. I couldn’t be happier. Of course, all of those practices and weird game times can mean that we end up grabbing fast food in town if I don’t plan ahead. There’s nothing wrong, […]

  • The Weekly Menu – February 10, 2014

    My Internet woes continue, but I’m not waiting for them to be resolved. Our ISP is installing a new wifi tower closer to our home, and the time frame is as short as three weeks to as long as three months. It takes a whole lot longer to blog with the slow speeds we have […]
