Menu Monday (Sunday edition)

Miss me? Last week I didn't meal plan. I didn't even go to the grocery store. Needless to say, we cleaned out the freezer and ate LOTS of sandwiches. Oh, and we ate out EVERY NIGHT. I'm looking forward to cooking again this week.

Sunday-rotisserie chicken, couscous with goat cheese, and vegetables

Monday-scrambled eggs and pumpkin pie rolls (Pinterest)

Tuesday-chicken spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad

Wednesday-tomato soup and grilled cheese

Thursday-leftovers

Friday-poppyseed chicken, rice, and green beans

Saturday-going to a Halloween/birthday party from 4-7. I guess they are serving dinner??

Happy Eats!!

Thursday Date Night

Tonight M & I went on a date. It's hard with 3 kids (especially with twins) to get out much. 

We've never hired an actual sitter. M's parents watch the kids the majority if the time. Which is another reason we don't go out. I hate to ask them because I don't want to impose. And we've never stayed out past bedtime. They like to be home before it gets dark-or at least close to home.

Anyways, we went to Tupelo Honey Cafe and it was so good (like always)!!

M had Cheerwine and a chicken BLT (minus the bacon) and added pimento cheese, plus sweet potato fries.

 I had sweet tea and the venerated vegetable bowl (goat cheese grits, greens, beans, fried okra, etc). So good.

And we both had a biscuit-served with blueberry preserves and, of course,Tupelo honey. 

We were home by 7 and the babies (toddlers?) decided that 10p was a better bedtime than 7:30.  At least S was in bed by 9.

Colgate SlimSoft a Review

I was given a Colgate SlimSoft toothbrush to review free from Influenster. The opinions stated in this review are mine.

I was lucky to receive a Colgate SlimSoft toothbrush from Influenster. 

Honestly, I haven't bought a toothbrush in a LONG time. I was using an electric toothbrush, but got tired of charging it, so I broke out my stash of dentist toothbrushes I had been given. I was happy with them UNTIL I started using the Colgate SlimSoft. 

The SlimSoft is so, well, soft. It's like the brushes caress my teeth. And it is so lightweight. No more bulky electric handles. 

Go out and get this toothbrush today!! 

Monday Meals

I hope y'all are enjoying my meal plans. I heard from my friend (hey, M!!!) that they inspired her to plan too. :-)

Sunday--I posted last week that we were having taco soup. Nope-we did leftovers. The forecast had low 70s & rain, but reality was 80s & sun.

Monday--taco soup/nachos. The cool front moved through last night.

Tuesday--shrimp tostatas with guacamole (I still haven't made these.)

Wednesday--salmon with vegetables (corn, great beans, broccoli--whatever I have on-hand)

Thursday--a frozen meal. S will be at her grandparents & I'm taking a day off from cooking.

Friday--Skinnytaste's spinach & sausage baked pasta

Saturday--??? We are working in the yard all day, so maybe we can order to go.

Happy Eats!!

Menu Monday...on Sunday

I usually make my meal plan on either Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Here's a tip-Kroger puts their ad online (and on the iPhone/iPad app) on SATURDAY NIGHT!!  You don't have to wait until Sunday for the paper!

Sunday--I didn't get to the store so we just foraged for food. Mostly leftovers. 

Monday--rotisserie chicken (Kroger) with vegetables and couscous. Of course I am adding goat cheese to the couscous.

Tuesday--Good Housekeeping's polenta and spinach gratin

Wednesday--shrimp tostadas with guacamole (I never fixed this last week, so I just need to make guacamole again.)

Thursday--Good Housekeeping's mojo to chicken with pineapple and rice

Friday--pizza night!! We're meeting some new friends at the zoo this afternoon so I don't want to have to worry about dinner.

Saturday--chicken spaghetti. I'll have some regular spaghetti on hand in case the Rotel is too spicy for the kiddos. 

Sunday--taco soup with tortilla chips and avocados. Stella doesn't love soup, so she'll probably have nachos. I got this from my friend, Amanda's blog. I'm typing this from my phone & not sure how to link, but check out Life with the Ledfords!! 

All the Good Housekeeping recipes (including the polenta) came from this cookbook.
