Menu Plan Monday

Ok, I'm not in a good mood this morning. I spent the weekend with ALL of my IL's. Saturday was awesome as FG and I went to the winery. With the exception of ME trying to be nice and drive us the 2 1/2 hours there and him bitching at me the entire time, it was a lovely day! We sipped some good wine and brought home a box full to add to our collection.

But yesterday we met up with FIL and his wife and our kids at a nearby lake and took our boat out for awhile. That was tolerable. But then we had to go home and get all ready to go to MIL's house for dinner where my parents were joining us as well. So the kids got to see all three sets of grandparents this weekend but that meant FG and I got to see them all at once as well. I was bummed because my bread flopped in my bread machine so we had to stop off for a grocery store french loaf.

Now it's back to reality this morning of DD complaining she doesn't want to go to preschool. She loves it there but she thinks it's much more fun sometimes to stay home and sit in front of the TV all freaking day and when I turn it off she howls. I'm letting her wake up a bit and draw for a few minutes hoping she'll be more willing by the time I get this done. DS was already bugging me about getting new fish, setting up playdates, making "goop".... Happy Monday Morning!

After preschool and the office stops I'm going to the grocery store - alone!

Here's our plan for this week:

• Sunday: Dinner at MIL's
• Monday: BBQ ribs, veggies, curly fries
• Tuesday: lasagna, bread, salad
• Wednesday: Shrimp kabobs on the grill, buttered noodles, veggies
• Thursday: Make your own pizza night with the kids
• Friday: hopefully take out!
• Saturday: salmon burgers (I keep putting them on the menu and never making them!), pasta, cabbage salad.

That's it for here. I'm still trying to catch up and hoping to get some new recipes tried out and new cooking posts up! Head over to Laura's site for more menus!

Change of plans since I just got home from the grocery store. The deli had roast beef on sale and au jus packets were on sale too. I added a few dutch crunch rolls from the bakery and boom, there's dinner! So I'm switching out Wednesday's shrimp kabobs to Saturday and Wednesday we'll have Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches. Easy Easy! But see, those Salmon Burgers are STILL not going to get made! Evenutally I will make them and when I do, I'll share the recipe.

DS will be happy I remembered to get the cornstarch for the goop. FINALLY. Do you think that will encourage the nagging on his part since he kept it up this morning and I remembered the corn starch this afternoon? ARGH.

Thanks for the compliment Karen! It's all courtesy of The Cutest Blog on the Block. I'm certainly no web designer!
