Oct. 1-7

See...we told you we would do better about posting our menu!

This week we went to our freezer for meals. We have been stocking up on things for a while and decided this week we would unfreeze and use these items we purchased for a specific meal. We stocked up on corned beef around March - Corned Beef and Cabbage; chicken drumsticks at Price Chopper a few months ago - Pan Fried Chicken; Italian meats we stocked up at Aldi because they were only available a short time - Italian Paninis.

A BIG thank you to everyone that supported the Whisper Walk we did last Sunday. We made well over our goal thanks to the generous donations from you all, and we were so happy to walk with those that could make it out. We'll be doing Whisper Walk again next year, so if you couldn't make it or donate this year we hope to increase our goal and amount of people who walk with us. Look forward to updates about it next year!

Life is going by quickly and we are just trying to keep things together as best as possible. We promise to start putting new recipes up here soon, but for now, here is what we're having this week:

Monday - Peppers' N' Potatoes Beef Skillet (a carry-over from last week)
Tuesday - Italian Paninis with Homemade Pesto
Wednesday - Pan Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans*
Thursday - Grilled Cheese-and-Chicken-Sausage Waffles*
Friday - Corned Beef and Cabbage
Saturday - Plaza III
Sunday - Snack Night

*Recipe included on the blog.

Sept. 10-30

Ok, you know you're busy when you don't have the time to post like you used to.  You can also tell which one of us really kept up with the blog!  Geez, with Paul's new job and teaching full time, it seems we're never posting on here anymore.  Sorry about that.  Once we get into a balanced schedule of activities, lessons, planning, grading, cooking, and all the other stuff, maybe we'll have time to really dedicate to the blog again.  So, sorry there's not many new recipes posted, but at least we're posting the menu.

If there's something specific you'd like to have the recipe for, please comment on a post and we'll do our best to get that recipe posted for you as soon as we can!

UPDATE - Sunday is the Whisper Walk for Ovarian Cancer.  Thank you to those who donated or signed up to walk with us!  We'll see you at Zona Rosa tomorrow morning bright & early!  Because of YOU, we reached and exceeded our $250 fundraising goal!  Thank you so much!  Paul and I thank you for your generosity and are looking forward to celebrating my mother and so many others who have suffered, survived, or succumbed to cancer.  THANK YOU!

Yes, we know we missed a week.  However, it was a week of special dinners out and lots of other activities which really ended up being one huge leftover week.  This week, however, is a little different - and HOT!  Ugh, it's so hot.

Even though it's hot, we're trying to get in the mood for autumn and are celebrating by making meals with our special ingredient - squash. 

This week's menu:

Sunday - BBQ brats & pasta salad
Monday - Butternut Squash & Red Onion Pizza
Tuesday - Made-by-Gay Chick-fil-A
Wednesday - Spaghetti Squash w/ Sausage & Greens
Thursday - Penne w/ Acorn Squash & Pancietta
Friday - Em Chamas
Saturday - Open
Sunday - Snack Night
