Hello from freezing Indiana!
I hope you all had a great week last week! Mine was a little busier than anticipated, but all is good. I know I can't wait for the championship IU game tomorrow night! Go Hoosiers!!
I have had so many new visitors to the blog, and I thank all of the Linky Party hosts for all the kind comments and even a feature! That is amazing! I'm just hoping any visitors can find something useful here. I do still enjoy cooking and baking!
So on to this week's menu plan. I'm making sure to incorporate nights for leftovers. Luckily, my husband eats pretty much whatever I put in front of him. He's not fussy that way! It doesn't bother him to eat the same thing 2 nights in a row. But if your family doesn't like that, I totally get it. My daughter's family rarely touches leftovers. Even though I love to cook, I love my nights off in the kitchen as well! It gives me more time to read and sew!
Here's what I'm cooking this week: (Links are below)

As for reading this week, I finished Twice by Mitch Albom. I really liked the book! Loved the characters, it was easy to read, and it does give you something to think about. I am thinking I might post a review if anyone is interested.
My plan was to start The Secret Life of Albert Entwhistle, but I changed my mind and started A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman instead.
Oh, I am loving this book! I am about halfway through it, and it is just a heartwarming story of a grumpy, lonely, eccentric old man. It just touches my heart. I'll tell more after I finish it. My sister told me she loved both the book and the movie. So I'm excited to finish this one!
Then after this one, I'm reading The Book Thief. My daughter, granddaughter, and I are going to hear the author of The Book Thief speak at a presentation sponsored by one of our small bookshops near here. I can't wait to go to that, and it's at the beginning of March. My daughter has read it, and my granddaughter is reading it for her high school English class. So I need to catch up to them!

I have such a love/hate relationship with meal plans. When I make the time, my life is so much easier but it is just getting in the habit of sitting down and doing it that is hard! Leftovers here are also a little touch and go - my husband doesnt mind them and I will eat some but the kids will seldom even look at them*sigh*
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, Laura! It's hard to get in the habit of menu planning. Some weeks I have to push myself to get started! That's why I share! Hopefully it will make someone else's life a little easier. And leftovers are always an issue.
DeleteThanks so much for visiting! I hope you come back soon!
It has been freezing here in East Texas as well. My tomato plant and two pepper plants were damaged this last go round. I took a look at the beef and barley stew and the cafeteria chili, both look really good! Visiting from #MMBC
ReplyDeleteHi Melynda! Thanks so much for visiting! I hope your weather in Texas is warming up, but it's going to be a deep freeze here in Indiana for the next week or two. Waiting for the snow to start as I'm typing! A hot bowl of chili sounds really good right now!
DeletePlease stop by again soon!
I've heard the football game tonight is a big one! Eek!
ReplyDeleteFab meal plan! I usually have leftovers for my lunch the next day and then cook a fresh meal each evening.
Oh, it’s a HUGE game tonight!
DeleteThanks for visiting, Kim, and thanks for taking time to comment! I hope you visit again soon!
