More Than A Song

We had Strawberry Trifle for dessert this past Easter Sunday! It got gobbled up pretty quick by the crew that was here with just a bit for leftover that night. I’m sure all of you have made something like this before; it’s nothing new and certainly not very gourmet but I did use something just […]

Guess this goes against being a Southern girl but I have never really liked iced tea all that much! 😳 I don’t think I ever drank it much growing up, not that I recall anyway. When I got married I began to drink hot tea and have especially enjoyed it that way for years. Water […]

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. We had a very blessed time at church and fun time seeing some of our kids and family. I always forget how much I have to cook when there are more people here! Kinda tired of cooking but hubby might still want to eat, silly boy……… […]

This week might be a little hectic for me—got lots of cleaning to do before some of the kids come in for their break. They are likely to bring loads of laundry, stay up way past my bedtime, and want “good” food as one of them told me! She just wasn’t very specific in what […]

I was gone some last week and didn’t plan a menu, and I felt slightly disorganized at meal time! Funny how I’ve come to depend on this for meals each week. I think it’s always good to have a plan even if some meals get pushed aside for other things that come up. So I’m […]

Not sure I’ll be able to stick to the plan this week, we’ll be seeing some of our kids and some meals might get changed around. But here’s the rough draft on what I’m doing! Go and visit our hostess Laura at Organizing Junkie for everyone else’s menus, they might be a bit more organized […]

Sunday……….Parmesan Baked Salmon, corn on cob, peas Monday………Beef stew, bread (iffy because we might be out running errands) Tuesday………Turkey a la king, broccoli Wednesday…..church supper Thursday…….Fish cakes, salad, green beans Friday………..Hearty Lasagna Soup, unless we order pizza because college son will be home! I’ll really need to get to the grocery store to have food […]

I’m trying a few new recipes this week and maybe I’ll get around to them all……last week several things got put off because hubby went out of town at the last minute! Here’s what I’m shooting for this time: Monday…….Lentil chili, brown rice, salad Tuesday…….Baked fish, sesame green beans Wednesday…church supper Thursday……Swiss chicken bake, roasted […]

It can’t be Monday again! Here’s what I’m tentatively having this week. Monday……Corn & sausage chowder Tuesday……Grilled salmon, broccoli Wednesday..church supper Thursday…..Oven Ranch chicken, roasted veggies Friday……..Veggie quesadillas, rice Saturday…..Party! (We are giving a dinner party/marriage blessing for a girl getting married, the daughter of a friend, so we’ll have fun party food!) Go on […]

I missed doing this last week when I was out of town and it makes dinner time a little harder if I don’t have a plan! We seem to have several functions this week so it looks like I won’t be cooking as much as I normally might……but I’ll probably enjoy the time out! Be […]

This past weekend Don & I flew to Houston to surprise our son for his birthday, a belated birthday surprise. We were in Charlotte a couple of weekends ago when Trent had his birthday so SK decided to have a family get together for him after his big day and for it to be a […]

Maybe this week I’ll be better about following my plan! Got a little sidetracked last week with being out of town some and next week starts a whole new set of problems, but I’ll save that for another post. Check out Laura’s place for more menus this week. Hope it’s a good one for you! […]

Sister Stacy called this morning and wanted to know if I wanted to come see her today; our Dad was going to drive to her house and I could go eat lunch with them. I had to make a quick decision since it was 9:30, 90 miles & a 1 1/2 hr. drive away! Hubby […]

I need to get back into a routine of doing this; so supper doesn’t sneak up on me without having a plan and so I can shop more efficiently! Check out Laura’s place for more great menu ideas. Monday……….Crockpot Chicken Santa Fe, one of our favorites and easy to adjust in case we invite friends […]

I love soup most anytime and could easily eat it weekly. But usually we have it a bit more when the weather is cold. I’ve been gone for about a week and have done no cooking in that time! So to ease back into it, and because the weather is really cold here, I decided […]
