Tofu with picante sauce served with rice and vegetable
Ham with sweet potatoes
Black Bean Tostado

We had this for the first time last night.  What makes it is the dressing for the [...]

Well, the weekly menus fell apart a bit over the holidays, but hopefully we are getting back on track now.  Sorta…If I will ever get more than 2-3 hours of sleep at one time again, I may not know what to do with myself.

Chili with Cornbread

I tried this new gluten-free cornbread mix from Bob’s Red [...]

I can’t believe it has been almost three weeks since I last posted.  The combination of a baby who doesn’t sleep much, going back to work, and holiday preparation have severely limited my “spare” time.
I have this idea to publish a family cookbook, so Mom brought over some of Granny’s old books, including Rare Recipes [...]

Macaroni salad
Deviled eggs
Spinach/strawberry salad
Chips, dip, salsa
Cake and ice cream

I read a lot of food blogs, which all have wonderful recipes and ideas.  Several of them also have weekly menu plans.
Try as I might, I see these menus more as inspiration rather than reality at this time in my life.  So, I thought it would be fun to start posting our family’s weekly menus.

If I won the lottery, I would hire a chef.  Without a doubt, this personal service splurge would come before a housekeeper, a landscaper, or an interior designer.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have delicious, healthy meals cooked every night for you?
