I am keeping it simple this week with some of our favorites. Several of the recipes are great freezer meals. The burritos, the pork, and the dessert are all things that we like to keep on hand in the freezer. Here is this week’s menu plan. Breakfast Frozen Breakfast Burritos Mounds Bar Granola Mexican Scrambled Eggs Dinner Cheeseburger Sloppy Joes Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta Salad Slow […]

September and October are two of my favorite months of the year. It is still hot here in Oklahoma though. This last week we had temperatures in the 90’s. Summer is not officially over for a few more weeks and our weather here is proving that. That means I am still avoiding using my oven on most days. Although I am slowing adding oven meals […]

Schools are starting and summer is winding down, but the weather is still hot in most parts of the country. That is probably because even though what we consider to be summer is almost over, the calendar says it will be summer for another month. That means we have plenty of time to fit in lots of summer salads, easy meals, and grilled meats. This […]

It is back to school time in Oklahoma. Some schools started last week and others are starting this week. If you live in the Northern U.S. you probably have a few more weeks of summer break, but life in the southern part of the U.S. means that schools start in the middle of August. Since it is back to school time I put some kid […]

It is that time of year that I am in a cooking slump. I don’t feel like cooking and nothing really sounds good. Summer often does that to me. I really just don’t feel like cooking this time of year. However, my family still wants to eat. Does anyone one else have this problem this time of year? What is the solution when you feel […]

It is summer and that means hot weather for most of us, especially those of us in the southern part of the U.S. I don’t like to use my oven when it is really hot, so that means the menu plan this week is full of recipes that don’t require the oven. Except for the flourless cookies. You do have to turn on your oven […]

How is your summer going? Mine has been good so far, although summer weather has hit Oklahoma. I will admit that summer in Oklahoma is not my favorite time of year. Triple digit temperatures and triple digit heat indexes are just not my thing. However I do love summer foods! Summer foods are some of my favorite because there are so many fresh fruits and […]

Summer weather means that I turn on my oven less and use my slow cooker, Instant Pot, and grill a lot more. I have no desire to heat up the house when the weather is 90+ degrees out. So this week’s menu plan is full of recipes that are quick and easy to make and that won’t heat up your house. Here is this week’s […]

One of my favorite summer dessert recipes is on the menu plan this week! It is my grandma’s two ingredient vanilla wafer ice cream sandwiches. My grandma used to keep vanilla wafers and ice cream on hand during the summer just so she could make these. If you need an easy summer dessert that kids love give these a try!  Here is this week’s plan. […]
