Menu Plan Monday - Week of May 9th!

We've been super busy around here - yes, even more than we have been previously! :)

My folks are here, my in-laws and my cousin were here over the weekend for Missy and Buddy's Birthday. Throw in a party with 12 pre-schoolers, 1 baby, and 22 adults and our little house was bursting at the seams! A good time was had by all. And I'm ready for a nap!

This week we're pretty normal around here. My folks are sticking around for about a month (or "30 days!" as Buddy and Missy like to say), so we're cooking for 4 adults and 2 kids for a while around here.

Here's what we're eating this week:

Sunday, May 9th (Mother's Day):
Brunch: At the St. Paul Farmer's Market
Dinner: Steak and Hot Dogs on the grill, leftover potato salad and fruit salad, and lettuce salad

Monday, May 10th:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon and pecans, or Cheerios with Strawberries
Dinner: Pancakes and Fruit for Grandparents and Kids; Church Potluck for John and Lea: Bring Potato Salad

Tuesday, May 11th:
Breakfast: Oatmeal Muffins and Fruit
Dinner: Chicken Noodle Soup and Baking Powder Biscuits, Fruit for Grandparents; Work Recognition Dinner for John and Lea

Wednesday, May 12th:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon and pecans or Cheerios with Bananas
Dinner: Beef Stir Fry, Rice, Lettuce Salad, and Orange and Grapefruit Wedges

Thursday, May 13th:
Breakfast: Oatmeal Muffins and Fruit
Dinner: Baked Ham, Roasted Potatoes, Lettuce Salad, Fruit

Friday, May 13th:

Saturday, May 14th:

As you can see, we have a lot of lettuce in our house right now. We also have a fair amount of fruit. I'm excited to have my parents here and we've got projects around the house and fun things planned with the kids.

Peas from my garden last summer.  We are cold and snowy with a lot of ice right now!  Not my favorite weather.  So, to cheer myself up I am starting to plan my garden for next summer!  I am hoping that I will be able to grow at least enough tomatoes and cutting flowers for both my parents (who are moving 1 1/2 blocks away from us in about 2 months - hurray!) and our house as well.   I am so grateful that we have 1/5 acre lot for our home that we can grow vegetables flowers and (currently) a single tree.  It makes me so happy and provides some very fresh produce for our family.  I love the physical act of gardening, both flowers and vegetables, and I love the taste of vegetables fresh from the garden.  A win-win in my book for sure! The name of the game this week is to eat up as much of the fresh stuff as we can so it's easy to move the refrigerator downstairs for our remodel.  They start knocking out walls and cutting holes in the outside of the house next week and we will need to

  A couple of lovely Christmas treats we received as a gift this Christmas! Yum! So, after publishing the menu last week John and I went through the freezer and refrigerator and decided that we better eat all the things that will be difficult or impossible to eat when we do not have an oven or stove top for a month or two.  That means last week's actual meals looked nothing like the menu!  That happens, I guess. With that in mind, here is what we're eating this week: Sunday, January 10:       Brunch: Cereal, Fruit and Toast       Snack: The last Christmas Cookies       Dinner: Perfect Potato Soup, Homemade Bread Monday, January 11:        Breakfast: Toast and Eggs        Lunch: Leftover Soup        Snack: Yogurt        Dinner: Beef Stir Fry, Rice, Orange and Grapefruit Wedges Tuesday, January 12:         Breakfast: Smoothies or Overnight Oatmeal         Lunch: Leftover Soup         Snack: Yogurt         Dinner: Fish Tacos, Fruit Wednesday, January 13:         Breakfast: Oatmeal

John's Birthday Dinner January 2020  This week started with John's Birthday - he loves crab legs and we typically have them for dinner on his birthday, as part of his birthday gift.  Here in the upper mid-west of the U.S. crab legs are usually on sale at this time of year, so it works out well.   We have so much produce in our freezers and refrigerator this week and we are trying to eat our cupboards down a bit so things are easier to store during the big part of our remodel.  Here is what we are eating this week: Sunday, January 3, John's Birthday:     Brunch: Smoothies, Oatmeal Muffins     Snack: Soft Pretzels     Dinner: Crab Legs, Green Beans Monday, January 4:       Breakfast:  Eggs and Toast      Lunch: Salad with Tuna      Snack: Yogurt      Dinner: Pork Chops, Cauliflower, Carrots Tuesday, January 5:      Breakfast: Oatmeal with Walnuts and Craisins      Lunch: Chicken Noodle Soup from the Freezer      Snack: Yogurt      Dinner: Chicken Lasagna, Green Beans Wednesda
