Monday's Menu

OK so no matter the planning it just seems like my dislike for cooking some days far outweighs the need to cook. See the trouble with loving cereal, if I had it my way we'd eat Multi-grain Cheerios at least once a week.

So taking a stab at a new routine this fall, I have a spreadsheet and everything (Katie will be proud).
So here we go with this weeks meals.

swiss cheese chicken
jambalaya
some kind of crockpot chicken
sweet and sour meatballs
homemade pizza

Menu

day 1: baked chicken parmesan
day 2: chicken gyros
day 3: roast
day 4: eggplant panini with pesto
day 5: chicken pot pie
day6:

Menu for the Next 6 days

day 1: Shepherd's pie
day 2: homemade pizza
day3: sweet and sour meatballs
day 4: baked broccoli penne pasta
day 5: cresent rolls au ju 
day 6: bruchetta chicken

for lunch I made these ham and cheese muffins from 5 Dinner in One Hour's Summer Lunch Ideas post - they were good, different, unsure if I'll make them again or not.

Another Step Back to the Blog

So I tried this 5 Dinners in One Hour free meal plan and it was great.


When I stumbled upon it via Pinterest I was thrilled because with graduation week, out-of-town guests and a grad party to throw, party side note: pictures to come, it was a Pinterest inspired party for sure!


Anyway, back to the meal plan...
The meals were yummy,
only tool an hour to put together
was cost effective.


With summer upon us I will be taking back over as the main cook so I'll be around here more often.
I like a blog when it helps keep me organized.
Hopefully our weekly menu will get posted before I sleep tonight.


Until then I recommend you go over to the 5 Dinner in ONE Hour website.

Pot Roast

I really like coming home from church and having a nice yummy dinner waiting for me.
My favorite recipe is for this pot roast by Paula Deen.

Red Eggs

Every year for Greek Easter we dye a bunch of eggs a deep red.
This year i was given the task and decided to kind of figure it out on my own,
here's what I did:


Put eggs in a pan of 3 cups cold water and 3 Tbsp vinegar enough to cover the eggs.
Brought the water to a full boil over high heat.
Removed from heat and added 6 Tbsp of Scarlet Rit Dye
Covered and let sit for 15 minutes.


I removed the eggs and placed them on a paper plate, letting them cool for a few minutes.
Then I wiped each egg with olive oil and placed in an egg container for Greek Easter dinner.
