Dinner menus?!
I'm hoping for some new ideas for next week, now that the weather is getting cooler. 
Sunday: Church fundraiser: Harvest Home Dinner with friends
Monday: crockpot stew that DH made Saturday night
Tuesday: sirloin sandwiches and Ore Ida grilled potatoes
Wednesday: marinated porkloin, roasted potatoes and some sort of veg
Thursday: cheddar cheese & bacon breaded chicken (from the Kraft kit), mashed potatoes
Fri/Sat: I'm headed out of town, so the boys are on their own!
Sun: I'm not sure - depends on what time I get back and if DH takes any meat out of the freezer.
My three sons!

I am really excited to pull out some of my warm fall recipes too. Chili, shepherds pie, homemade soups. Basically a bunch of stuff Eleni won't eat. Hahahaha
Sun: crockpot beef stew
Mon: Lasagna
Tues: chili
Wed: leftover lasagna
Thur: leftover chili
Fri: raviolis
Sat: chicken on the grill
**I was proud of myself on Sunday, I browned 2 lbs of ground beef, split it in half, then put together both the lasagna and chili ahead of time. So the past 2 nights of dinner have been easy (and the next 2 nights will be leftovers, even better!)
Jake - 1.15.08

Sunday: Roast, carrots and mashed potatoes
Monday leftovers
Tuesday: Aldi's veggie stir fry over brown rice

Friday Chicken taco's ( best pintrest reciepe ever 6 chicken breasts, a jar of picante sauce and packet of taco seasoning on low for 5 hours. YUM) and it freezes well too.

Monday - Shimp and Orzo - this was really, really good! http://www.preventionrd.com/2012/04/athenian-orzo/
Tues - leftovers
and that's all i got!
Yummmmm everyone!
And good job, Emmy! I want to get back into the habit of doing that as well, and it's easier to do with the cooler months (casseroles, lasagna, shells, etc.). I had drop-off duties this morning so while the kids were eating breakfast, I prepped tonight's dinner so that it's ready to just go in the oven when I get home - I feel quite accomplished!
My three sons!
Balbacm---- that is a great blog. I am going to try that recipe next week. DH is traveling this week and DD and I tend to go to MILs to eat. ha.
So hence above..... nothing to contribute for this week. But watch out next week. Ha.
Sunday: Cookout with friends before the Steelers game, ribs, wings, etc.
Monday: Salsa Chicken and cauliflower
Tuesday: Meatloaf and broccoli
Wednesday: Casey is fishing tonight, so I'll prob have leftover meat loaf.
Thursday: Italian chicken, side of pasta
Friday:
Saturday: London Broil, roasted veg, mashed potatoes
Hmmm...my list is as home. But now that I think about it, I think I was supposed to put chicken in the crockpot this morning. Oops! I guess it will be baked chicken instead. The kids won't eat it either way, so it isn't like it matters that much. :-)
I agree that I am excited to add fall dishes to the rotation. I have been dying for some soup...coming soon!
Our menu is lame, and has been totally derailed by the fact that we ran out of propane halfway through cooking dinner on Monday and have yet to get more and I'm now having to cook all of my grill stuff on the stove. Not happy!
