Menu Plan Monday - Week of June 1, 2015

Pork roast, sourdough rolls, tossed salad and fruit - I thought the table looked so pretty! 
Well, May just flew by here!

The children turned a whole whopping 10 years old (how did that happen?). 
We had 5 houseguests for a week and 2 for the whole month.
We had a dance recital, a choir concert and a band concert.
Spring semester ended and Summer session started.

And John graduated with his Master of Divinity degree!  (Whoot!)

And I spent the entire month sick - first a head cold/sinus infection, then a locked glut muscle, and then a round of the flu, just so it didn't feel left out. 

I'm ready for June, I tell you!
My parents bought groceries while they were here in May (most of the time) and took us out to eat so many times the children were actually asking to stay home and have me or John cook! Grandma or Grandpa would do in a pinch, but they were definitely tired of eating out!

I spent $33.94 on groceries today - fruit (honeydew, apples, bananas, cherries), veggies (cucumbers, radishes), milk, shortening and bleach.  I use the bleach to clean the washing machine and we had a spot of mildew that we found while moving furniture so it will take care of that as well.

A parishioner who loves to bake also gifted us with 2 beautiful loaves of bread today after church. I was planning on baking bread tomorrow but now I can enjoy his handiwork instead!

Most of what we're eating (other than the fruit) we already have, either from the pantry or leftover from last week.  We bought a huge basket of mixed salad greens at the Farmer's Market last week and have half a pineapple left over.  We have some burger patties that we froze that we need to eat and we have four ears of corn that need to be eaten too.

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
