Posted in Melissa by Mel on the September 19th, 2008

So…I know I should be sharing PC recipes on Jacob’s website, but this one is tooo good to not share, and too simple!

I hope everyone will be able to read it…if not, here’s the recipe:

Ingredients: 1 pound extra lean ground beef, 1 pkg (6 oz) stuffing mix, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, 3/4 cup shredded cheese.

Directions: Heat oven to 375 F; Mix meat, stuffing mix, 1 cup water & garlic powder; Press into 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray; Make an indentation in the center of each mini loaf with a spoon; fill with sauce; Bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through (160 F); Top with cheese; bake for 5 minutes or more until cheese melts. Serves 6.

ENJOY them as we did! :)

Menu Planning…

Posted in Melissa by Mel on the September 16th, 2008

So…I decided I needed to get better control of my kitchen & what I am doing in it! So…here’s the plan for the week…

Breakfasts - Monday through Thursday: Yogurt, Oatmeal, Fruit, Toast, & Cereal - variety depending on mood.

Lunches - Monday: went to lunch with Fleeta before she left town; Tuesday: Spaghetti (I LOVE the new pouches for the microwave for sauce!); Wednesday: Soup/Sandwiches; Thursday: Grilled Cheese & Fruit; Friday: Daddy is off, we might go out somewhere cheap!

Dinners - Monday: Leftovers (soup for Jacob; Hash for Daddy; Toast for Mommy); Tuesday: Mini-meatloaves - I hope they’re good! with rice & veggies; Wednesday: Chicken Club Ring (PC recipe); Thursday: Frozen dinner from a few weeks ago - Ribs & Augratins with a veg. Friday: Leftovers - there are sure to be some! (might flip Thursday & Friday, too)

As for the weekend…they are always so touch & go…and, I include Friday’s in the weekend because Shad works 4 10’s now…and he’s off. Friday morning, I plan on making a Quiche (yummy…I did this with Heidi last week & it was soooo good!). Saturday & Sunday, we’ll probably stick to the above for breakfasts unless we have cinnamon rolls - they’ve been a hit lately!

I’ll keep everyone posted on our menus as the weeks go by & how I am to sticking with them!

Unfortunately, Mommy had to work a tennis tournament, so she couldn’t come with for the festivities! I had a pretty good day…went to the party, got to see Mom at work, and then hung out at home with Daddy…can’t complain about that!
