Meal Planning Monday...

Yeah, I know it's Tuesday, I'm a day late and a dollar short!  That's the story of my life!

Summer had just flown by and now August is here, and this is my month to get my house back in order, prepare my school schedule for the year, and get back to business.

For some reason summer seems to bring a lot of... lets say... carefreeness, (is that a word?) to my family.  We fall from our routines and basically become lovers of the sunshine and lots of outdoor activity. :)

So with August and September they  bring me a sense of urgency of renewal.

With that.. Menu planning is back on the table.

I personally like to theme days based on our schedules, I will offer variety.. but for some reason theming seems to work right now.

So right now, we're going with Meatless Mondays, Pasta Wednesdays, and Fridays are pizza/hamburgers.

Monday- Forgive me we ate meat yesterday, Sloppy Joes, Mac N Cheese, Fruit.

Tuesday-Baked Chicken, Veggies, Salad, biscuits

Wednesday-Pasta w/ eggplant and tomatoes (my garden is overflowing right now with both)

Thursday-Sausage, Peppers & Onions, Salad, Bread

Friday-Burgers on the grill.

Saturday- Wedding, so no cooking for me! :)

Sunday-Ribs, potatoes, Veggies.

Monday- Our first meatless Monday! yeah, Summer Squash and White bean saute'.. Recipe on my pinterest.

Tuesday-tacos with all the fixings!

Wednesday- Stuffed Shells, Salad, Bread

Thursday-Chicken Cordon Blue

Friday- Pizza Night

Saturday- Chicken grilled, veggies, salad

Sunday- London Broil, Veggies, Potatoes


From My Bella Cucina to Yours!

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers

Home Love Hammock Style

This lovely gift was a 21st wedding anniversary present from my lovely husband.  I absolutely love this thing.. For many reasons...  My hammock brings me peace.   Why??  Because I love to be outside and be in nature.   So everyday weather and schedule permitting I try and get on my hammock.  It's bring me closer to my children.  They will see me out there and come out and lay with me on it.  From my 17 year old on down to my 5 year old.  My 17 year old and I have had the best chats just laying and swinging on that thing.  My youngest daughters 13, and soon to be 10 will bring their books out and  just veg and read with me.  My 5 year old will crawl up on that and just snuggle and chat with me, eventually giving way to the peacefulness of outside and fall asleep in my arms. My grandbabies will cuddle with grammy  and let me read or just hold them.  I have even had my best girlfriends come over and join me on that thing and we are able to relax and fr
