Week 6 Menu Plan

Wow! The Ravens had been kicking butt and DOUBLE WOW when the stadium lost power and it was 27 minutes in as I typed this ... I was just trying to imagine being in the crowd when it went dark! YIKES!

Stellar game, even if you don't follow football ... and great half time by Beyonce, who apparently, needed to prove that yeah, she can dance and sing :-) ... I only wish I could shake my booty HALF that much and not get whiplash from the thigh jiggle ...

Ok, ok, you came for the menu ... sorry, just running late and the plan was not coming together easy for me this week ...

I've done some heavy shopping this week ... and I'm not quite sure for what! About $175 or so has been spent and well, I'm not at all pleased. Only $15 of that is from the produce store. Most items will be modified somewhat for me to try and reduce the grains on my plate ...

Sunday - wings, chili, lemon bars ... we originally were going to fry up some pickles and other stuff but life interrupted those ideas/plans and we kept it much simpler ... no friends, just me, Hubby and Kitty Kitty. Princess went to some party and we just decided it was ok this way.

Monday - stuffed peppers ... excited to try this and hope its as good as it sounds. Going to grind up some chops I have in the freezer to make the sausage and the peppers are in the fridge from last week

Tuesday - leftover chili and hot dogs ... not to be confused with chili cheese dogs ... well, maybe ... dogs are in the freezer (nitrate free babies). Buns were picked up over the weekend

Wednesday - soup and sandwiches ... still trying to get to the onion soup!

Thursday - tacos (salad for me). Beef in freezer, toppings in fridge and I believe we have some shells floating around in the pantry



Friday - blackened chicken sandwiches ... been a LONG time since we've had. Buns were picked up over the weekend, chicken in freezer and rest in pantry/fridge



Saturday - Hubbys choice ... as always Friday and/or Saturdays usually involve friends over so dinner gets switched up either day ...

Last week I didn't do super well on the plan ... but I did make the salsbury steaks which will be shared soon, I promise ... Hubby liked, even thought it's not as good as when he makes them, but it's great for a weeknight meal with very little time invested!!

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?
