Menu Plan for Week of April 24, 2023

 Hello friends!  Last week was a good one for the scale.  I was down 2.3 pounds!  Hubs worked all weekend but we still managed to go out on Saturday.  We had a breakfast date at McDonalds.  Then he surprised me and came home early Saturday evening and we went eat at Saltgrass Steakhouse.  If you have one of these close to you, definitely go give them a try.  We were very happy with our meals.  The Range Rattlers appetizer was DELICIOUS!  Totally not on plan, but as I've said before, sometimes I am going to make decisions that are not on plan and that's ok.  The Range Rattlers were jalepenos stuffed with cheese and a shrimp, them battered and fried.  They were served with Ranch dressing.  I ordered a Filet Mignon and grilled shrimp with a salad and roasted green beans.  Very good.



So, onto the menu plan for this week.  I'm trying to use up the stuff in the freezer here because this job is wrapping up and I don't want to have to move a bunch of food.  However, I will have food to move from both the fridge and pantry.  At least I won't have to worry if it defrosts.  I kind of hope I get a firm date on leaving Odessa because then I could get a place in Lafayette and the food can go there rather than all the way home to Alabama and then back to Louisiana.  Anyway, here's the plan for this week....

Monday - BBQ cheddar meatloaf with green beans and a salad

Tuesday - flounder piccata, steamed broccoli and cauliflower

Wednesday - air fryer chicken, mashed potatoes (mashed cauliflower for me) and roasted mushrooms

Thursday - shrimp and cauliflower grits from the Optavia app

Friday - cheesy taco vegetable skillet, also from the Optavia app via Pinterest

Until Next Time...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?

WIP Wednesday...on Thursday

I started this post yesterday. Several times.  But, I got busy doing other stuff and this got pushed to the side.  I finally have a few free minutes today so I figured I would come back to it LOL  Really, I am procrastinating on doing my last case study for the management class I am taking 😉 So, this is titled WIP Wednesday.  I decided I would start sharing my cross stitch WIPs with you.   I started cross stitching MANY years ago.  I've done pieces and given them as birthday, graduation and wedding gifts.  I made the whole family matching Christmas stockings.  Even got two of the three grandbabies stockings made after a long break from cross stitch while I sewed children's clothes and went to school.  But, I picked cross stitch back up a couple of years ago and quickly remembered why I love it so much.  It's almost mindless work for me.  It keeps my attention just enough to make ignore all else, but not enough thought has to b...
