Menu Planning Monday

We had the most delicious pork roast tonight. After putting the roast in the crock pot I added Worcestershire and chicken broth. I put a simple seasoning of Celtic sea salt and Mrs. Dash as well as some minced garlic. Then, I sprinkled a little brown sugar over the top of the roast. I cooked it for 8 hours. Can I just say that the gravy was the most delicious I have ever had? Oh yeah! I make a simple rue with butter and flour, then add the drippings. I could almost drink it. Not really. However, I am looking forward to having some leftovers.

Menu Planning Monday

I love three day weekends. However, this just reminds us that tax season is beginning. That means several months of not having Orson home for dinner. This lifestyle is what led me to not cook very often when my kids were little. Now that they are older, and I treasure dinner time, it is crucial for me to continue to cook, even though Orson eats at work.

Tuesday: spaghetti squash with italian chicken

Wednesday: leftovers

Thursday: fajitas

Friday: grilled mahi mahi

Sunday: BBQ steak and chicken

Menu Planning Monday

It was so great to be back in the menu mode. It sure made the week run more smooth. I was able to exercise 5 days this week. I started running again. I am hoping I can run a full mile by the end of the month. As we get away from the holidays, the junk is dwindling. I also made breakfast all week for the family. I know that sounds crazy, but I have just never been one to do that. I feel great being able to do that. It was different to be home all week. Of course, I was still super busy.

This week we will be cleaning out the freezer. This will help with the budget.

Tuesday: basil pesto tilapia

Wednesday: chicken florentine

Renewal

Well, it has been a hectic few months for me. I have not been taking care of myself the way I would like. My meal planning has gone by the wayside and I have missed it so much. My journey of health has been completely neglected. I am ready for a new start. My job came to an end last week and I am planning on taking the month off to get things organized and get back on track. The first thing I need to do is get some healthy meals planned and then get back to exercising. I have a big goal for this year, but for now I just need to start running again.

Here is the plan for this week:

Monday: grilled mahi mahi

Tuesday: fish tacos (with leftover mahi)

Wednesday: spaghetti squash with chicken meatballs

Thursday: grilled chicken

Friday: turkey burgers

Saturday: date night

Sunday: pork roast

Menu Planning Monday

October break is over and it's time to start the second quarter of school and head into the holiday season. We spent some time in Utah enjoying real fall weather. We came home to 100 degrees. I know winter will be great, but a smattering of fall would make me so happy. As the days get more and more crowded with activities, it will be necessary to utilize the crock pot more and make food that will make more than one meal.

Monday: shrimp tacos
Tuesday: spaghetti and meatballs
Wednesday: roasted chicken
Thursday: turkey chili
Friday: salmon burgers
Saturday: date night
Sunday: turkey breast with mashed potatoes

It's not often that I miss posting my menu, but the last month or so I have not been too consistent. So, when I got a call from my sister last Monday it was a wake up call. She was worried because I had not posted my menu. So, I didn't want to disappoint. Of course I am headed to her house this weekend for October break and I cannot wait.
