Winter is still lingering in South Dakota, much to my chagrin. Last week's ice storm cabin fever has now morphed into an incredible cold, since I've managed to avoid being sick all winter. I'm hoping for SPRING and warmer temperatures (unfortunately we have more snow predicted for this Wednesday). With this week's menu, I'm reflecting the weather map (all over the place)
~Monday~
Angel hair pasta with sausage, garlic bread
~Tuesday~
Steak carnitas, cilantro lime rice, salad
~Wednesday~
Pork chops, potatoes, veggies
~Thursday~
Cheesesteaks, tater tots, veggies
~friday~
Pizza and Seussical
~Saturday~
Chili & corn bread
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld

Feed Me
After several months of drowning my sorrows in cookies, cake, ice cream and soda I am ready to get back on track with healthier eating. My menu for the first week of 2012 reflects that.
Instead of having a bagel and cream cheese, plus a large Starbucks frothy drink, I realized that I really dig oatmeal . Seriously.
Lunches have been a lot of not so good for me fast food. Instead, I need to get back to healthier options. Salads and soup are always great choices.
Dinners need to be fresh and not from a drive through.
So on the menu next week:
Monday pasta with Italian stir fry
Tuesday Mexican lasagna
Wednesday minestrone soup with rustic bread
Thursday lentils & bulgar pilaf
Friday-dinner out for 1st Friday

Menu Monday, 5/16 Edition
Its that time again, figuring out what I am going to feed my family for the next week.
Meatless Monday this week is featuring grilled cheese, tomato soup and chips. Brownies a la mode for dessert, and I am salivating.
For taco Tuesday, I am thinking chicken enchiladas, Spanish rice and refried beans and chocolate pudding.
Wednesday is a meeting at church, with pizza!
Thursday is another graduation party, serving dinner.
Friday will be switching things around and we will have Chinese night on Friday. I am thinking chicken stir fry with noodles, egg rolls and fluff.
Saturday, we have not one but TWO graduation parties to attend, so dinner will be leftovers after eating out all day.
Sunday, in honor of my birthday, I really want an old time favorite: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, wilted greens salad and chocolate cake (and a side of raspberries) for dessert

Menu Monday, first week of May
This is the first week of May, and it is still cold in my part of the world. Cold weather=craving comfort food, still.
It is Meatless Monday. I am thinking either pasta, with escarole soup OR grilled cheese, tomato soup and white cheddar mac & cheese.
Tuesday is taco Tuesday, but Thursday is Cinco de Mayo so I am switching things up. We are going to have chicken stir fry with egg drop soup and homemade egg rolls.
Chicken stir fry
1 c diced cooked chicken
1 c cooked brown rice
1 c shredded carrots
1 c frozen peas
1/2 c teriyaki sauce
2 tbsp chili sauce
1 egg beaten
heat everything together in a pan except the egg (that gets added at the end)
Wednesday is breakfast for dinner, so we will have waffles. This time, I will make the Big Man happy and NOT use apple sauce.
Thursday is Cinco de Mayo, so we are having quinoa burritos with rice.
1 c quinoa, cooked
1 can black bean soup
1/2 c mexican cheese
1 can enchilada sauce
4 tortillas
preheat oven to 375. mix soup, quinoa & cheese together. put in tortillas, roll up and put into a baking dish. Top with enchilada sauce. Bake 30 minutes.
Friday is first Friday downtown. Its a fun night out, so we will go to http://www.atasteofthebigapple.com/ for dinner, and http://www.ohmycupcakes.com/ for dessert. I'm drooling already.
Saturday I run in my 5k, and then I have a graduation party to attend, plus going geocaching with my son. I'm thinking hot dogs, fried potatoes, and some other yummies.
