Menu Plan Week 19

Really, Week 19?? Wow, the year is flying by!

Hubby travels this week, Tuesday, returns late Friday.

The Boy heads back to Orlando Wednesday am ($29 for the Greyhound Express, non stop ... that's a pretty good deal!)

So, really, it's ME and perhaps an occasional visit from the Princess. I may head out to see my dad on Wednesday, maybe even Tuesday as no one will be home....and of course, I'm on a little Grocery Challenge this month so I need to use what we have...not a problem!

Here's what I'm planning .... easy way out!

Sunday - leftovers: pizza, sandwiches, salad, Hubby made a good attempt to reduce the food waste options we were facing!

Monday - tacos IF I get home early enough ... we've not celebrated the Fiesta yet so why not today! Sonny Boy and Princess will have real tacos, Hubby and I will do taco salads ...

Tuesday - me and the Boy ... really have no clue ... if we run to Costco to do his cash card (so he can shop at Costco in Orlando) we will swing by and see my dad so he can say 'til next time' and drop off some snacks too ... we might just do the food court then ... otherwise, grilled cheese sandwiches (with mozzarella cheese baby!)

Wednesday - it's all about ME tonight so I'm looking at STEAK SALAD ... I've got the steak (cooked) in the freezer just for this purpose ... plus it will give me a chance to FINALLY blog it with photos!

Thursday - ME again ... maybe taco salad if there is still stuff leftover (honestly, I want to freeze the leftover taco meat, I've missed having it) ... OR more steak salad :)

Friday - Hubby back this evening AND I'm supposed to be meeting up with a few girlfriends for the blackberry margaritas since I blew them off last week ... probably chicken on the grill with roasted veggies (chicken in freezer, veggies in fridge)

Saturday - Hubby will be traveling to NY the week coming up so maybe I will dig out the Filet Mignon from the freezer and some shrimp to make a nice little mini surf and turf type of dinner?

What are you cooking up this week??

Linking up with Menu Plan Monday.

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?
