Menu Plan Monday

Fall is here folks! Temps are cooling down for the most part. This really makes me want to make soups and chili. It took a lot for me to remember during my menu planning that Charleston won't be in the soup and chili state of mind for a while now. I am cooking more substantial meals though. I'm discovering many of them on Pinterest. Have you been pinning? Do you love it as much as I do? I cannot get enough. If you haven't tried Pinterest and you'd like an invitation, let me know, I'll send you one! If you are on and you'd like to follow my pins, you can find me here.

Monday: Spaghetti with Sauteed Chicken and Grape Tomatoes
Salad

Tuesday: Slow Cooker Beef Brisket with Beer
Brown Sugar Baked Acorn Squash

Wednesday: Zucchini Black Bean and Rice Skillet

Thursday: Lasagna Roll-ups
Zucchini Fries

Friday: Vegetable and Chickpea Curry
Cous Cous

Saturday: Clean Out Refrigerator Night

Cheers!

Menu Plan Monday (Tuesday)

Today is finally MY Monday! Only it's Tuesday. Yesterday, the kids had a snow day. Only there wasn't any snow. See, that's just how we roll here on the South Carolina coast. We're used to balmy. The weatherman says possible ice and the schools shut down and folks don't leave their homes. So, my Monday was spent as an extra weekend day. No menu planning. Nothing constructive.  I did, however, enjoy the roads all to myself. Today, the kids had a 3 hour delay. The weatherman said that word again! Thankfully, they are all nestled quietly in the desks and I am enjoying MY Monday. On Tuesday. So, without further ado...

Monday: Cashew Carrot Ginger Soup; Grilled Cheese for the kiddos and bread for Hubster and myself

Tuesday: Barbecued Raspberry-Hoisin Chicken; brown rice, orange slices (OK; you caught me. This was on last week's menu. Truth: Life got in the way and I never fixed it. I think we ate Chick Fil-A instead. This week, I vow to make it.)

Wednesday: Corn & Broccoli Calzones; Salad

Thursday: Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash, cous cous

Friday: Chicken Larb

Saturday: Date night with the Hubster! (We deserve it. We've been trying unsuccessfully to get to our haven on the Ridge. We keep getting snowed out. By actual snow. Having no 4WD, we cannot possibly make it up the mountain. So, a date night is in order. We need to plan our next attempted visit.) 

Menu Plan Monday - July 12

I just don't know where the time has gone. It's Monday again! Time for Menu Plan Monday! Without further adieu, here it is...

Gee, there are a lot of salads here. Well, salads are a welcomed meal in the Charleston heat. Besides, they're quick and easy as well. And who doesn't like that?

Happy 4th of July!

Marshmallows are dipped and sugared!

These are the ones Singing With Birds did.
Although I love love love hers, I only did one end of the marshmallows, didn't have the festive skewers, and used one marshmallow per skewer. I chose to put them in a vase with a frog to separate them from each other. I then entwined star garland loosely around the skewers.
 

Patriotic Fans are Complete!

Kawaii Crafter at zakka life made these. I thought they were so cute and would be perfect for our annual 4th of July celebration. I used patriotic themed paper and star garland instead of thread and beads.

Fireworks are Purchased!

Obviously, ours won't be this spectacular. But aren't these pretty?

May you have a wonderful 4th of July. Remember those who put their lives on the line each day to protect our freedom. If you'd like to do something to thank them, visit Soldier's Angels. Thank you.
