January/February Menus


You guys wouldn't believe how handy it was for me to post my menus here last time! I don't know it anyone got any ideas from them, but when I went to make supper it was so easy to be able to just click on the link for that day and have my recipe appear! On the other hand, I could always do this somewhere private, and not bore you with our menus. So now that Jan is half done, I'm finally getting around to this.

Wow, Becky... you inspire me. Maybe someday when I'm grown up I'll get around to being that organized too!! Haha. Um, yeah. Anyways, I haven't even been planning weekly menus lately!! And it drives me crazy... just not crazy enough to get back with it yet, I guess :(. Maybe I'll try again this afternoon...

Ok so I am not nearly this versatile...My menus are two weeks at a time consisting of very little change :) LOL! I think I will post a few of the new recipies that I have used and loved in a little while. I am off to try one right now actually. Matthew requested cabbage rolls so I found a recipe that I am giving a try...this is not a kid friendly food so our menu for the night is mac and cheese (homemade cuz they dislike the boxed all of a sudden, UGH! there went my easy wednesdays)

Ooh, Sara! Can you post your two-week menu? I should do a biweekly or monthly menu and repeat it. That would simplify life sooo much! Maybe schedule in 1 new recipe a week or something. Haha... Titus LOVES cabbage! It's crazy! (of course now that I said that he will probably start hating it...)

Yeah, Sara! Give us your menus! I don't want to be the ONLY one telling that world what's for supper! It's dangerous though, James will sometimes check here while still at work to see what's for supper. : )
Hey Abby, Amanda loves cabbage too! I think it started as just something she said, but she had herself so convinced by the time she really had some, that she ate it. She talks all the time about how "cabbage is her favorite..." - and I serve it about twice a year. : )

OK, I'm back skimming down your list for inspiration while making another menu plan and noticed... "Ruse Dog Sandwiches"???!!? (Feb 24) Um... poor Shadow and Rex! Do you want to take Annie off our hands? :D

Yeah well, you know that's a good idea. We were running a little short of dog just now. We'll grab Annie when we're down there. Gotta go, Indians are firing on us, and I'm holding Tina's horse while she counter attacks.
