Weekly menu Sept 16

During the last few months, I have lost a couple of pounds and I'm happy to say it's completely due to changing my diet. I have been getting a lot of inquiries of my menu. So, as a cheater blog I have decided to post this weeks menu.

Four of the six meals we have actually made before and are amazing. Two we're just trying out. Some I have stole from others (I'll post the links,) and some we have made on our on.

Sunday:
White Cheddar Mac and Cheese with Squash
-This is freaking amazing! You must try it. We're making it right now and it's making our house smell delicious! Take in mind that the squash has to bake for an hour, so don't do this on a night when time is tight.

Monday:
Eggplant Panini with pesto
-This is really easy and pretty cheap for us, because we have a basil plant in our backyard. The link for the pesto sauce in the link provided.

Tuesday:
Crock pot Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
-Another great recipe from the skinnytaste blog. Not too spicy for the kiddos, but spicy enough for the parents. *We save some of the chicken for our next recipe. But it's two adults and two small kiddos, so if you're feeding a hungry family, you might want to make more if you plan to make the pizza.

Wednesday:
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
(I will post the recipe with pictures when we make it this week. (but if you're grocery shopping, you need ff sour cream, low fat greek yogurt, an ranch dressing packet, blue cheese)

Thursday:
Tofu Nuggets and Baked Sweet Potato chips
-This is one of our tester recipes. I'll let you know how it goes.

Saturday is up in the air. I think I'm going to try to get Chef Blackheart to go camping the weekend. I guess we'll see.

My lack of blog skills

 

When I started a blog, I thought to myself, who will actually read this? I will spend all this time and no on will read it. But people did read it. I was shocked. I was amazed. I was inspired. Then life changed and the extra thrity-ish minutes to write the blog one to every three days dissappeared in to getting the girls ready for school and to start daycare, to getting my husband healthy, and finally to find the energy to to still maintain my fifty an hour a week job that was demanding as ever. No blogs entries for almost three months. I have been cooking and making healthy meals, (most that my children won't eat simply because it's too fancy.) Also my camera no longer automatically updates my photos which would require for me to manually upload them. That may never happen. If I can't figure out how to fix that problem, I will just go ahead and shut this blog down. I think it all started when I downloaded instagram (although I have never used it.) The picture above is the last one it uploaded, in July.

Oh my I finally figured it out!!!!
