I hope you’ve enjoyed your Labor Day holiday and ate something BBQ-y or something simply summery…
So if you’ve partied had this weekend, it’s time to think about what you are going to have the rest of the week. Don’t let Tuesday catch you by surprise. Go into the week with a plan – even if it’s a back-of-the-envelope plan.
Tuesday – Balsamic-Glazed Pork Chops (recipe can be found here at Epicurious ) with garlic spinach and new potatoes
Wednesday – Every Man for Yourself (or as some of you call it “YOYO” You’re On Your Own.)
Thursday – BBQd Chicken with Asparagus and rice
Friday – Speaking out of town and having dinner at the church (my favorite kind of meal – the kind that’s made by someone else…)
So tell me in the comments what you are eating this week, and you will be entered to win an advance copy of The “What’s for Dinner?” Solution.
Our winners from last week are:
Kate St. Amour and Lynda Williams.
(Be sure to email Sunnie at kathilipp.com to let her know your mailing address!)
Did you pick any winners for this past week?
Am I too late to participate?
With a staff wives gathering at my house on Monday, two volleyball games, two soccer practices, one minimum day, one back to school night, my job, a Teen Challenge Fund-raising Banquet, a Beth Moore Simulcast, and a 40th birthday surprise party, there’s really no one home this week. So….it’s catch what you can, but I’ve provided groceries so the kids can make turkey “little smokies” in a blanket, tacos, turkey smoked sausage with parmesan noodles, and an asian salad. Tempted to glam it up to “look good” but I’m just keepin’ it real! 🙂
M – BBQ chicken pizza, salad
T – Grilled Tri-tip, sweet potatoes, green beans
W – Brown Rice, Turkey Sausage, mixed veggies and mushroom sauce
TR – Chicken & Sun Dried Tomato Sausage, carrots and green beans and as my daughter calls them – curly noodles
F – Tastefully Simple Open House and then popcorn at the movies afterward 🙂
S – Chicken, biscuits, spinach casserole
S – Dinner at MIL’s
