Weekly Menu Plan April 26 to May 2, 2026
Hi there!
Exciting day over here! My middle granddaughter is graduating from college this week with a degree in nursing! I'm so excited to see what the future holds for her!
Of course, for me, that means another busy week ahead. But what fun! I know God will lead her on the right path for her. I never dreamed watching grandkids grow up would be this wonderful!
So let's take a look at what I'm making this week:
Recipe Links:
As for reading, I haven't had much time lately to sit down and read. But I finished The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. It was good, not a Must Read by any means, but a good story.
I just started The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. I've been waiting for this one for a long time, as it was on hold at the library, with about 25 people ahead of me in the queue. But I finally got it, and started it last night. I have to say it pulled me right in! I'll keep you posted on this one, but I don't have much time in the week ahead to just sit down and read, uninterrupted.
After The Correspondent, I'm thinking The Book Thief is next. I cannot wait to read this one. I went to an author speak, where Markus Zusack was the speaker. Oh my goodness, I loved this guy! He's just amazing, so humble, so funny, and just a genuinely nice person. I got my book autographed by him, but I'd only read 4 pages when I went to his presentation. I know, my bad. But the first 4 pages were awesome! I had to finish some other library books first, before I could pick The Book Thief up with a clear conscience. And since I own that book, library books trump owned books because I have to return them.
So that's where I am this week. What's going on with you, dear readers? What is happening in your lives? You really should comment, so I know! Sometimes it's awfully one-sided around here!
Have a wonderful, blessed week, everyone!
Hugs,

Weekly Menu Plan April 12-18, 2026
Good morning!
Sorry to have missed the last couple weeks, I was just too busy to take time to post. The holidays will do that to me!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday.
We did, and it seems spring has sprung big time outside. Beautiful days, much warmer, and all the trees and flowers are in bloom.
I'm trying to spend more time outdoors now that the weather is nice. I've taken some nice walks, and it feels so good to get outside and breathe in that fresh air.
As the warm weather gets nearer, I try to spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying my favorite season. So my cooking and baking time is going to start to decrease, and I'll be using my air fryer, Instant Pot, and crockpot more.
Here is what we're having this week:
Next up is The Correspondent, one I've been waiting to read for quite awhile. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it. I love sitting out on my swing in the spring and summer, and reading while listening to birds chirping and kids playing outside. It's my favorite time of year!
I hope you have a good week this week, and as always, I hope you can find a yummy recipe or two to make for your family. Take care and see you next week!

Mini Vacation
I've had to take a break, because I've just been too busy to get everything done.
I'll be back on Sunday with my menu plan, at least I hope to be.
Until then, take care and see you soon!

Weekly Menu Plan 3-15 to 3-21, 2026
This week, making my menu plan has been on my To Do List since Friday. Still not totally done.
But before the week slides by, I at least had my dinners planned out. I thought I better post them in case someone actually looks for them!
So here are my dinners this week. Breakfast is going to be mostly eggs and bacon or sausage this week.
Hope you're all having a great week! Mine is good, but super busy!
As always, links to recipes are below:

Have a wonderful week! Hopefully I'll do better next week!

This Week's Menu Plan
That was me, yesterday.
One of my granddaughter's friend's dad passed away suddenly last week. They planned a traditional Jewish shiva to honor him, and my granddaughter asked me to prepare some food.
So, I did. I made a huge pot of matzoh ball soup, another huge pot of lentil soup, deviled eggs, rice pudding, a bagel platter with assorted cream cheeses, and a Jewish apple cake. I bundled it all up in containers suitable for the freezer, and delivered it.
I've been so busy I haven't even thought about next week's menu plan.
Today, I have a corned beef and cabbage dinner cooking in the crockpot. We're having it today so my son can have some fresh and not left over. It's best the first day. We'll probably have leftovers tomorrow.
After that, I'm not sure yet! I haven't sat down long enough to think about it yet, or to plan a shopping list. So, I may post it later this week.
So stay tuned....maybe I'll get the plan done tonight and can post it tomorrow!
Have a blessed Sunday!
Hugs,
