Menu Plan Monday: WAR EAGLE and Halloween

October 25, 2010 By Kelli 5 Comments

So, we had an AWESOME weekend. It all started with dance on Friday where us group of women discussed Football (seriously, guys we talked football!) and some how went to baby names and meanings. Did you know Kelli means Warrior Princess. That’s right, don’t mess with me. LOL!

On Saturday we had two Halloween parties. What do you think of my Halloween costume? Plus, my UNDEFEATED team, Auburn, stomped the other SEC undefeated team, LSU. War Eagle! Yes, I am from the South… that means football is a pretty big deal.

Last week was a flop as far as dinner goes. My two oldest boys (DH and Tripp) were gone pretty much every night for the Spook Trail and I didn’t feel like cooking for my two pickiest eaters and myself. We stuck with Spaghetti O’s, Corn Dogs, and Frozen Pizzas. That means I get to try again this week with last week’s menu.

Monday: Easy Italian Meatloaf , Potatoes and Cheese , and Green Beans

Tuesday: Chili

Wednesday: leftovers

Thursday: Fried Pork Chops and Potato Salad

Friday: if we don’t go out to eat after dance, then we will have leftovers.

Menu Plan Monday: Still have a virus

August 30, 2010 By Kelli 7 Comments

Well, Please note that I have the Google Analytics Virus… I thought I had gotten rid of it, but I can’t. I have ordered a new computer and am just waiting on it to come in… in the meantime, I can not access MOST websites as it redirects to spam ones so I can’t update my main post links. Please be sure to visit all the girls in the Back 2 School Blog Hop Bash! It ends tomorrow and the links are not up to date!

Monday: Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Tuesday: BBQ Pork Chops and Potato Salad

Wednesday: Kelli’s Spaghetti

Thursday: Italian Meatloaf and Potatoes and Cheese

This week is going to be CRAZY busy. We had our EF Welcome Orientation this past weekend and I can already tell that I am going to be doing some major emails and phone calls with the students, host families, and Boston. So, I want my menu to be pretty easy this week. I also have a bunch of computer work to do and housework. Anyway, enough rambling, on to my super quick, super easy menu!

Monday: Leftover Soup

Tuesday: Leftovers (airport)

Wednesday: Roast in Crockpot and Mashed Potatoes

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Out to eat (dance)

Told you it was going to be quick and easy.

Menu Plan Monday: More Pirate Themed Recipes

August 16, 2010 By Kelli 6 Comments

We have another week of learning about Pirates coming this week, so I did some searching for more Pirate Themed Recipes. First, I want to say that the Captain Crunch Chicken from last week’s menu was to DIE for! Everyone loved it and it will be added to our regular recipe spreadsheet.

Monday: Tropical Island Chicken and Green Salad

Tuesday: Blackbeard’s Cannon Balls (ok, so it actually Busy Day BBQ Meatballs but I am not telling my kids that LOL!) and Peg Leg Salad (plain potato salad… again, not telling the kids!

Wednesday: Zesty Chicken, Yellow Rice, and Steamed Veggies

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Dance starts tonight (I think… might be next week, guess I need to look it up) so, we will probably be going out to eat.

We are supposed to be doing pirates all month in homeschool, but I am running dry on recipes and am now just making up new names for some of our recipes. LOL! I could really use some ideas, please please share links or recipes in the comments!

MENU PLAN MONDAY: Busy Week After Vacation

July 12, 2010 By Kelli 8 Comments

Yep, I am home! We had a great time on vacation even if our time on Biloxi beach was very sad! BP makes it seem like the beaches are clean, unfortunately that isn’t true! If you just look at the sugar white beaches, they look really nice. But, if you spend a little time there, you see that it is all cosmetic! We seemed to be the only people on the longest man-made beach… well, aside from “clean-up” crews.

Picture 1 – I tried several times but just couldn’t get a good picture. That is Ricky’s hand with oil splotches all over it from just swimming! You couldn’t see oil on the water, but it was there! Yeah, there was no sheen on the top like you see on the news that is supposedly gone. This oil was on the floor of the Gulf!

Picture 2 – That is a Seagull with oil all over his head! I have tons of pictures of him cleaning and cleaning trying to get it off him! I also have quite a few pictures of the other birds with oil streaks on them. No crabs biting our toes, very few jumping fish, no shrimp boats out in the water, no vacationers, NOTHING but workers “cleaning up”. Or rather, HIDING evidence of the spill!

Picture 3 – This is a tar ball! The kids were playing in the sand and this is just one of about a dozen tar balls buried about 5 inches down in the sand! If you dig down, there is an orange colored line of oily sand… they are simply covering up the oil. So, if a hurricane comes all that covered oil is going to be right back on the beaches. Regardless, it is still messing with the eco system!

GULF COAST BEACHES: COVERED UP, NOT CLEAN!

Ok, enough griping. I have no idea what we are going to eat this week. My husband is going to be out of the the first of the week (leaving today) and I have zero groceries. Plus, I have a meeting Thursday night. I am going to just wing it, but I am not promising to actually stick to this menu plan. LOL! Yeah, the whole week is a bit crazy.

Monday: BBQ Chicken, Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli

Tuesday: Beef Stroganoff

Wednesday: Girl Scout Stew

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Italian Meatloaf, Potato Salad, Corn

Easy-peasy.
