Happy Mother’s Day (a little late)!
I actually had a lot of fun planning the menu this week thanks to Pinterest. I have been on Pinterest for awhile, but I just got addicted to it. I love to peruse recipes and then pin them to my pretty boards. If you want to see my boards I would love for you to check them out here.
Last week we didn’t do a whole lot of cooking. Some shredded beef tacos and grilled pork chops about sums it up with a few meals eaten out. I would love to recommend menu planning to anyone who wants to eat healthy and stay on a budget. If you don’t menu plan you are more likely to eat out and for my family that means unnecessary spending and unhealthy choices. Also, no matter what the food is not as good as what we can get at home, and trust me I know this. My husband is a self-proclaimed food critic; sometimes I feel like I am eating with a judge from Chopped.
Here is what we will be eating at our house this week.
Sunday: Pioneer Woman’s Pot Roast, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, and Aunt Norma’s Dill Bread
Monday: Roast Beef Quesadillas with Spicy Tomato Soup
Tuesday: Bacon Blue Cheese Burgers with oven roasted fries
Wednesday: Cajun Oven Fried Chicken, potato cakes and scalloped corn
Thursday: Texas Two Step Pork Chops (to be blogged), Dill Potato Salad and Grilled Corn with Chipotle Butter
Friday: Grilled Honey Lime Chicken, grilled yellow squash, and Bacon Cheddar Pull Apart Bread
Saturday: Leftovers

The whole weeks’ menu looks to be a really fabulous one.
Thank you. I love to try new recipes and enjoy my tried and true recipes as well.
A couple times you have mentioned Texas Two Step Pork Chops and that you intend to blog about them, but, so far, nothing. I’d at least l ike the recipe for them if you could ever include that in your blog.
Thanks,

Hi Bev,
I’m sorry about that. I know I’ve made empty promises. I’ve so out of touch with the blogging world. But … I’m also a contributor of an on-line woman’s magazine where I actually have this article published. Here is the link for it. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
