Menus for the past couple of nights!

Here are the past couple night's menus...I will be glad to get back on track tomorrow with the Monday Menu posts...I will also be glad to get back on track with my cleaning schedule. I did so good the month of June and then life got really busy with the grandkids and summer and well I kind of fell off the wagon (the cleaning one that is). So, my schedule will pick up pace and get back to normal tomorrow...I will post my daily/weekly schedule another day this week. So here are the menus for Saturday and Sunday.



Saturday

Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps note: when I make these again I will leave out the lettuce, cause warm lettuce just turns me off. Also when I told my hubby what was for dinner he was not exactly thrilled but ended up loving them.
Home made french fries: I cut up a potato into small strips and deep fried in my fryer (a cost cutting dish) *upcoming post later this week about this


Sunday

Chili Slaw Dogs: there is nothing better to this Southern girl than a hot dog with chili and homemade slaw on top!! YUMMY!
Chips
Baked Beans: (another cost cutting dish)
Peach Praline Cobbler: this was delicious

And for my hubby's breakfast break snack he takes to work all week I made this today

Banana Bread

And to all of you I hope you make something yummy for your loved ones this week!

Monday Menu posts will resume tomorrow!!

Tonight's Dinner

Well tonight's dinner was really quick and easy! I had frozen the leftover chicken pot pie filling from the beginning of the month so I popped that bag in the sink to defrost, plopped on a pie crust (I cheated this time and used store bought) and threw it in the oven!! How easy is that? I made a BLT salad with a quick little homemade dressing, recipe below, and dinner was on the table in about 30 minutes. Kitchen is clean, hubby's lunch is made and in the fridge!





BLT Salad Dressing

1/4 cup mayo
1Tbs. balsamic vinegar
1t water
drizzle in a bit of olive oil while you wisk it together.

Menu for Tonight

Okay here is my next one meal at a time post this week. Sorry for the wackiness this week I will get back to normal and on track next week!!

So for tonight's fare we will be having

Shepherd's Pie: my own recipe...will post later after I make it.
