Menu Plan - Week 42

Hubby comes home on Thursday, at long last. It doesn't feel like it's been two weeks, but it has.

Unfortunately, I've not gotten any of my "projects" done ... barely cleaned house ... but I still have the next 3 days to make some accomplishments!  Number one project? Inventory and clean at least one of the three freezers. I need to know what's left to be consumed! I really want to stay out of the store this week ... with the exception of milk (the half gallon left expires the 19th ... Hubby likes milk) ... and I know that I still have lots of stuff in the freezers to eat up.

So with that ... here's what I'm planning for the week ....

Sunday - Island Shrimp with Avocado ... this was pretty tasty and wish I had leftovers

Monday - Cobb Salad (lunchmeat was pulled out of freezer Sunday)

Tuesday - Chicken and Romaine Stir Fry (new recipe, here's the original) (chicken in fridge defrosting)

Wednesday - Wedge Salad (need to find a new recipe since I don't have any yogurt)

Thursday - Hubby lands around 8pm, I normally do NOT need to pick him up but he didn't want to leave his car there for two weeks ... I will just work late since my office is five minutes from the airport ... Most likely will make the fixins for Chicken Lettuce Wraps in the morning and reheat when we get home. (I'm sure there's turkey or chicken in one of the freezers)

Friday - Hubby most likely will want to be chillin and grillin ... chicken thighs with veggies (should be last few packages of b/s thighs from freezer)

Saturday - Hubby's call, will do best to convince that we don't need to run to the grocery store for any major purchases ...

What are YOU cooking up this week??

Linking up with Menu Plan Monday ... go check it out!

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?
