Here is this week’s menu plan. I am hoping to restock our breakfast foods by making a large batch of homemade granola and a large batch of eggs and sausage for the freezer. They are two of our favorite things to keep on hand for easy breakfasts. Breakfast Oven Pancakes Mounds Bar Granola Eggs and Sausage Dinner Steak and Roasted Oven Potatoes Tuna Melt Quesadillas  […]

This week’s menu plan includes a breakfast and dessert that can both be made ahead and kept in the freezer. It also includes one of my favorite quick, easy, and inexpensive meals. And since it is October I added a couple of soups and a pumpkin recipe to the plan.  Here is this week’s plan. Breakfast Apple Pie Oatmeal Breakfast Bowls Banana Baked Oatmeal Dinner […]

It is still hot in Oklahoma. We have yet to have a really fall like day, but the calendar says that it is fall this week so my menu plan is looking more and more like fall.  I am not quite ready for pumpkin recipes, but right now I am loving all things apples. The apple breakfast cookies on the menu plan are a great […]

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.

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 […]
