Week of Sandwiches!

I know, I know...I've been gone for way too long.  Lack of motivation I guess you could call it.  But, a new month is starting soon and no time like the present to get back on track.  Since it's getting hotter out, Zac & I decided that this week shall be known as the week of sandwiches!  Following will be our weekly menu, clicking on the name should take you to the recipe I'll be following.

Zac's Birthday Dinner! March 13th

So, today is Zac's birthday and instead of going out for dinner, I promised to make him whatever he wanted.  All in all, it's a great menu, he picked things that I've made before.  Well, except for his birthday cake!  He wanted an Angel Food Cake.  Now, I could have taken the easy way out and made a box mix, but that's just not me.  Always try things from scratch first!  I was so nervous, I made it last night, just in case it was a flop and I had to improvise.  But, much to my surprise and pleasure...it turned out!!!!!!!  Well, at least looks wise, we have yet to taste it!  So, anyways, following is what he picked for dinner!


Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallions

Crash Hot Potatoes

Broccoli & Cheese Casserole

Angel Food Cake

Fluffy White Frosting

Weekly Menu: February 20th - 26th

Time for a new weekly menu!  I have been finding it a little hard to stick with this weekly menu thing, maybe it's because of if being winter/cold/dark/gloomy...I dunno!  So, I finally sat down and took the time to create a new one!  Yay...I'm actually quite excited about this one!

Super Bowl Sunday!

Super Bowl Sunday is approaching soon!  Zac & I sat down and picked out several recipes to prepare for game day.  In fact I think we picked out so many that we'll be eating leftovers for a week!  But, truth is, I love appetizer type foods and what a more perfect day to prepare them!

You all know how this works..the food item will be a link to take you to the recipe I'm using, unless it's a personal one and I'm more than happy to share them.  Pictures of everything will be posted later.

About Time...I'm Back!!

You know...I kept saying to myself, trying to start a menu blog during the Holidays was not a good idea.  And, it turned out to be! LOL!  As you can see, my last post was right around Thanksgiving, things just got so hectic and I didn't cook a whole lot.  But, it's a New Year and I'm determined to get back on track!!

This new post will be a mixture of meals I did manage to cook last week and my meal plan for this coming week.  I promise to do better than my first post and you may see some of those meals being repeated here.  I won't be following any certain days of the week, just posting what I have planned.  We usually never feel like having what's planned for that day and figured it would be easier to have a list to choose from.  Clicking on the title of the food should take you to the recipe, if it doesn't, it's probably a personal recipe which I would be glad to share with anyone.  (If I followed one that is!)  I will post pictures of each item after I make them.  I'm such a visual person, I love to see what foods/meals look like!

Any questions...just ask!
