Menu Plan Monday - Week 10

Ahhh ... it's Monday, time to plan that menu!

I've been fighting a cold since Saturday. May have taken too much stuff as Sunday I slept all day long. And then went to bed at 8:30pm and slept til 6am. But I do feel better, just a little stuffy. Not so well rested but that just goes to say that sleeping too much is never a good thing. I apparently needed the rest though.

Princess is on her way to pick up Sonny Boy this morning. She left at 5am. Yikes. I guess she wants to enjoy her day off somewhat by getting there and back here within a reasonable time. 3 hours minimum each way soo ... I don't know.

I am still trying to stick with the $20 a week challenge but fell off the wagon on Saturday and did a big shop at Publix. Yeah. I was weak (that's when I was starting to feel the cold coming on) ... I was thinking that Sonny Boy is coming home and I have no food for him to snack on. What kind of mother am I if I didn't buy stuff?? :-) ... that doesn't make me feel ANY BETTER, trust me.

So with him being here, our menu plan will be a little different!

Sunday - slept through it but I believe Hubby made some soup for himself

Monday - Chicken and veggie basic stir fry (just chicken breast cut up and then a little veggies with some chicken broth to keep it moist, workout night)

Tuesday - Cubanos (pork in freezer)

Wednesday - Hubby and the boat dude need to run the boat tonight so I will need to come up with something to feed everyone, thinking maybe bbq pork in the crockpot (use the leftover pork from freezer) and fries?

Thursday - Mac and cheese (freezer) with smoked sausage (freezer)

Friday - Big pasta dinner with spaghetti and red sauce, salad and garlic bread. I've got everything on hand already!

Saturday - we are going to host a bbq for the kids and some of our friends too. Burgers, hot dogs and stuff along that line.

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
