Here is my first menu. I will post any recipes and pictures when I feel like I have made something interesting enough or if someone requests it. If you want to share your own menu ideas or are curious about a recipe leave a comment or email me. I usually do my menu's from Thursday- Wednesday.
Thursday: BLT toast (combined crumbled bacon, cheese, mayo and toast on french bread then sprinkle with lettuce and tomato)
Friday: Tacos (I like to add salsa to the meat while it is still cooking for more flavor and moisture)
Saturday: leftover tacos
Sunday: Spaghetti Cabonara (learned recipe from an Italian- recipe and pictures coming soon if it looks good!)
Monday: Shake n' Bake and garlic mashed potatoes
Tuesday: pita sandwiches (perfect for eating during Tommy's soccer practice)
Wednesday: stuffing casserole

My New Blog Idea
Greetings everyone! I know I should be making my original blog better, but right now I am in the mood to do something different. Most of the time I pump for Sara I sit at the computer. Sometimes I do useful stuff and sometimes I goof off. I had an idea for a blog the other day and decided now would be a good time to get it started.
I am one of those people who plans my meals every week. I can't comprehend how people never decide what they are having until they make it. So, the night before I go shopping I spend lots of time looking at a calendar and a list and picking meals. Lately, I am completely stumped... it takes me forever to plan for the week and I don't feel like I have much variety.
So, my blog idea is to post my menu each week and maybe get some ideas from other people and maybe give ideas to other people... then for us menu planners we will have to spend a lot less time deciding on a menu. Sometimes I will post recipes and pictures. I don't feel like I am the best cook in the world, but I don't think I am a horrible cook either. Some recipes will be quick, some will be healthy, some will be easy and some will be difficult (you get the idea).
This kind of thing might take awhile to take off because as of right now I think I have like 5 confirmed readers of my blog. But anyone who is interested let me know... I only want to keep it up if other people participate.
To get my blog started I will post a recipe we tried the other night. I don't have pictures, but it was something different we enjoyed. When I get my menu going for the next grocery trip I will actually post it.
Philly Steak and Cheese
-piece of roast or steak (the original recipe calls for steak, but I like it with roast)
-1 green pepper
-1/2 yellow onion
-1/4 cup water
-black pepper
-garlic powder
-beef boulion cube
Combine ingredients above and cook in crockpot for 4 hours or until meat is tender and veggies are soft.
Cut and toast some bakery buns or rolls and heat up a jar of nacho cheese. Spread the nacho cheese on the buns then add sliced roast and veggies. If you are a mushroom lover those can be added to the crockpot too. If the nacho cheese doesn't sound good we have had this recipe with mozarella or extra sharp cheddar and they taste good too.
So there is my first recipe- check back soon for my first menu :)
