Food Friday

Ok, so my friend Tiffany has a blog and she does Menu Mondays. I always like seeing what others are making for dinner and get some new ideas. So, I'm going to steal her idea (thanks Tif) but I plan my menu starting on Fridays because that is the day I go to the grocery store. I like to cook and sometimes Matt and I cook together. Sometimes I like what I have planned for the week and then there are weeks that are just so so. I do have a favorite cookbook though. It is the "America's Test Kitchen Cookbook". My friend Tara hooked me onto that and I absolutely love it. It has lots of pictures and lots of little tips. Like did you know you can make buttermilk by adding lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk? Let it sit a bit and it thickens and sours. Anyway, we have some favorite recipes and you'll see those more frequently. What are some of your favorite recipes??? Here's the menu for this week......

Friday: spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, strawberries

Saturday: frozen eggplant parm from Costco (Matt is on his own with the kids while I celebrate a friend's 40th) and maybe he'll put something else with it....up to him

Sunday: hamburgers, tater tots, corn on the cob

Monday: I work, Matt will decide what he wants to cook....probably chicken

Tuesday: Tacos, chips and salsa... I crisp up the corn tortillas...very yummy

Wednesday: Black beans and rice with onions and Kielbasa topped with sour cream and a little hot sauce, broccoli, fruit

Thursday: chicken cutlet sandwiches, 3 bean salad, coleslaw

I work on Monday and Thursday evenings so Matt is usually on his own to make dinner. I will loosely plan something for him but he sometimes wants to do his own thing.

There you have it.......check in next Friday.......
