Well, hello everyone! For the past six weeks, my house has been a mess and so have I. Y’all, a remodel in the fall was not in the cards. But, we’re on the home stretch for the living room, and I’ve got some exciting things coming up.

My old crockpot took a flying leap off of the refrigerator and I replaced it on Sunday thanks to this deal. I probably don’t NEED a 6 quart slow cooker, since my oldest is off at college, but the habit is hard to break. Plus this one was a great deal. I’m ready for colder temperatures, and I think this week is reflecting that.

Monday: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork sandwiches, served with pickles and french fries. This time, I’m going to cook the pork and add barbeque sauce after so that I can use the rest of it in another dish.

Tuesday: Meatloaf muffins, mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese.

Wednesday: Tilapia, rice, and mixed veggies.

Thursday: Homemade Cuban sandwiches, with the seasoned pork loin, ham, swiss, and pickles. I’ll use my George Foreman grill to toast them.

Friday: Leftovers or freezer food.

Saturday: Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas, served with yellow rice and beans.

Sunday: Undecided.

I am not a summer person, y’all. Yesterday, though, we spent ALL DAY at Schlitterbahn. And do you know what I did afterwards?

If you guessed came home and slept for 12 hours, you would be correct.

Give yourself a cookie.

I am sore, sunburned, and still tired. It’s going to be easy dinners for the four of us for a while.

Monday: Shrimp and orzo alfredo. I bought a bag of frozen shrimp from Trader Joe’s, and this is an easy meal that comes together in no time. I still have about 3 boxes of orzo to finish up. Note to self, you do not need to buy that many boxes again. No matter how good of a deal it was.

Tuesday: Taco Tuesday. Or taco salad. Or burritos. Or nachos. Whatever your little heart desires to do with cooked ground beef, beans, and rice is fine by me.

Wednesday: Sizzling chicken and jalapeno popper mac and cheese. And a salad. Because we’re healthy. 😉

Thursday: Leftovers or fend for yourself.

Friday: ??? Haven’t decided yet.

Saturday: Sandwiches or salad.

Sunday: Family dinner out OR grilling night.

It is Summer, y’all! 😉 It’s hot and I’m so not wanting to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. We grilled on Sunday and we’re going to eat on it most of the week. This isn’t a terribly exciting week, but it shall be tasty and easy. Which is enough for me.

Monday: Fajita leftovers. Rice and beans and cheese and tasty goodness.

Tuesday: Grilled pork chops, red potatoes or potato salad and a veggie.

Wednesday: Last day for grilled leftovers.

Thursday: Sandwich night.

Friday: Breakfast for dinner.

Saturday: Pulled pork in the crockpot, served with french fries or chips.

Sunday: Dinner out.

Monday: I cooked pre-marinated fajita meat inside on our little tabletop grill. It was delicious, which was a good thing because the weather wasn’t cooperating!

Tuesday: We’re having our favorite skillet meal. Smoked mozzerella chicken broccoli pasta. It comes together in no time and it reheats great for lunches.

Wednesday: Meatloaf muffins, mashed potatoes, and fresh green beans.

Thursday: Leftover night!

Friday: Pizza night.

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner.

Sunday: Not sure, yet. We may grill, or I may make something.
