Tuesday: Leftovers for guys (I have a meeting)
Wednesday: Balsamic roasted pork loin, Mashed potatoes, Maple-roasted butternut squash p. 158 barefoot contessa back to basics cookbook, Hot French bread ETA: The balsamic roasted pork loin was a hit and super easy. I baked it in my Le Crueset Cocoette. I will definitely add it to my menu rotation. The maple-roasted butternut squash was fabulous. YUM YUM YUM!
Thursday: Spaghetti and meatballs, Garlic sauteed italian flat beans with julienne carrots, Antipasta salad, Garlic bread We ended up changing up the menu plan and just had ham and cheese or meatball subs.

Hi Sherrie, thanks for visiting my blog and for your nice comments..to ans your question about the cars, we have 2 cars, my husband has an suv and it will not fit in the garage, too tall it stays in the driveway,since we live in ca. it works out well. my car goes in the garage, thats why the sliding doors on the cabinets work so well. Thanks again for reading my blog cause that brings me to you, love the ribs menu and I sure will try that this sat.thats the perfect meal for me...Love your blog, keep it up, I am a follower and I will be back...Phyllis
ReplyDeleteWOW, your family is eating good! The bacon wrapped chicken sounds most delish. : )
ReplyDeleteI just added the bacon wrapped chicken to the menu for next week. I love the Back to Basics cookbook. The recipe in it for the country omelet is really good. I made it for a brunch last year.
ReplyDeleteDo you think I could use ground beef instead of turkey?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could, but then you would have to change the name of the soup! ;)
