Menu Plan Monday

Hey, let's take a walk down memory lane and do a Menu Plan for the week ahead!

Ha. Sorry. It's just been quite a while since I've done a real menu plan, I'll admit it. Hubby's currently medical situation has really turned a lot of things upside down and food has certainly been the #1 thing.


He goes in for treatment #3 on Tuesday and just told me this evening that he's very nervous about this one for some reason. I would make a safe guess it's because he flies out on Friday morning and well, what if he does feel like crap?? Then what?

It will be fine. I told him so, therefore, it will be. ;-)

I'm trying to do a little mini-pantry/freezer challenge this month as well ... to save a little money and to clear out some of the clutter food stuff we have hanging around too!

Here's what we are looking at for the week!

Saturday - bacon and mushroom burgers on the grill with a wedge salad (we did stop and pick up the ground beef)

Need to buy some more soon!

Sunday - Lemon Basil Chicken Thighs and Roasted Potatoes (chicken in freezer, taters from Trader Joe's several weeks back) ... recipe coming soon on the other blog!

Monday - Takeout Fakeout (will use the Mandarin Orange Chicken and Veggie Fried Rice from freezer - Trader Joe's)


Tuesday - Hubby will either be on a feeding frenzy or a food boycott ... I just don't know as first time, no food, 2nd time, couldn't eat enough and this time (3rd time) we have no idea what to expect! Grilled cheese and tomato soup for all

Wednesday - going with a Wingin Wednesday theme and cooking up some wings. Wings are in the freezer (Costco) and balance of ingredients in pantry and fridge


Thursday - Hubby will be disconnected from his 48 hour infusion so hopefully he won't feel too bad ... he needs to eat as he flies out early in the morning so I'm going to see what he wants (that we have on hand!) and let him choose

Friday - I'm a single girl this evening and I think I will make some Steak Bites as it's been a long time, hubby can't really do steak any longer AND I have some NY Strips in the freezer to use up ...


What are YOU making this week??

Looking forward to sharing with some of these GREAT Parties ... go check them out!

      You can do it! I'm always a little amazed (and slightly embarrassed) when I see how much stuff I really have!

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!

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

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?
