Weekly Menu 5/23-5/29

*sigh*
What a week! I think everything is slowly starting to return to normal again. We had a great week, we got to see family and some friends we haven’t seen in a long time, and had many laughs. But now that week is over and a new one is beginning and I have to say, I love routine. It’s comforting because it doesn’t really ever change. I don’t get along with changes well, but I’m learning to adapt.

We pushed back Grace’s birthday party till this coming Saturday. I’m so glad we did that. We had our friends stay a few nights with us and my mom got sick and my brother and his family are out of town, so it wouldn’t of been a good time. So this Saturday it is…however it’s looking like it’s going to rain which makes me so mad! In fact this whole week ( except for tomorrow) is supposed to be rainy. So if my menu looks like it’s geared up for warm comfort foods, then the rain is why.

Monday
I already have my Black Bean Chili cooking away in the crockpot :)
Tuesday
It’s our only nice day, so I’m not sure what to do…but I’m going to plan for Tuna Casserole with a salad.
Wednesday
Josh made our Ham & Cheese Omelette’s last night, so now I have the extra ham for my
Crockpot Split Pea Soup with some crusty bread for dunking
Thursday
I’m thinking leftovers
Friday
Apple Dijon Pot Roast-$5 Dinner Mom
I found this recipe a couple of years back from Erin Chase at $5 dinners, but I can’t find the link for the recipe anymore…good thing I printed the recipe out when I did :) This originally called for Pork Roast, but since Josh doesn’t eat pork in this form, I’m using a pot roast.
Saturday
Grace’s Birthday Party- still debating whether we’ll have food or just cake and stuff. But if we do, it will be hot dogs and all that good kind of stuff :)
Sunday
Josh does a lot of the cooking on Sundays, but I’m thinking Pasta Toss with salad and some Garlic bread sounds pretty good to me. I may have to blog this one again, it’s so good!
I have some carry over treats from last week. There wasn’t time to make some of these treats and I really want too, so hopefully this week I’ll get that chance. 
Desserts/Treats/Goodies/Etc

I’ve played with the idea of making a birthday cake for Grace…She wants a Tangled theme party…but the cakes I’ve looked at seem above my pay grade, so we might just buy one. I don’t know…still going back and forth on that idea. 
I hope you all have a fantastic week :)
