Our internet was down over the weekend. It’s a real bummer to wait for internet tech to open on a Monday, only to find a cord was unplugged on our end!

Anyway, here’s this weeks’ menu. Sunday has already come and gone, though.

• Sunday – Ham, scalloped potatoes
• Monday – “Green Soup”. Dennis dislikes split pea, but loves green soup. Think he’ll notice?
• Tuesday – Swiss steak and potatoes (can you tell we gleaned potatoes last week?)
• Wednesday – Enchiladas
• Thursday – Cabbage soup with homemade bread
• Friday – Hamburger pie
• Saturday – Pizza!

Here is this weeks’ meal. Do you know what you are going to feed your family this week?

• Sunday – Swedish Meatballs (We ended up making a switch)
• Monday – Herbed rice
• Tuesday – Spaghetti
• Wednesday – Pancakes
• Thursday – Toasted cheese sandwiches or leftovers
• Friday – Beef Soup & homemade bread (We ended up not having this last week)
• Saturday – Meatloaf

Notes for the week:

Take the ham out of the freezer on Friday for Sunday’s meal (next weeks’ menu)

Have a great day as you serve your family!

Here is this weeks’ meal. I actually had planned this meal as week three of my planning schedule. All the shopping has been done for this meal, except I think we’ll have to pick up more lettuce. The taco dinner used more than I had anticipated.

• Sunday – Tacos
• Monday – Leftovers
• Tuesday – Turkey Soup
• Wednesday – Hamburgers with homemade buns
• Thursday – Meatloaf
• Friday – Beef Soup & homemade bread
• Saturday – Swedish meatballs over noodles

Notes for the week:

Take out hamburger on Tuesday. Make sure to bring out enough to form meatballs for Saturday’s meal.

Have a great day as you serve your family!

Finger Paint
Mix 2 cups flour with 2 teaspoons salt. Add 2 1/2 cups cold water. Stir until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to 2 cups boiling water. Boil until smooth and thick. Add food coloring, then stir until smooth.

• Visit the fire station
• Go to the post office and let the kids send some mail.
• Take a nature walk. Collect ferns, flowers, leaves and rocks to make a centerpiece for the dinner table.
• Find a construction site and watch the trucks and tractors.

I’ll have a few more ideas in later weeks. In the meantime, share some of your own in my comments section.
