This is just going to be a quick post before I head out to spend the day at my mom's pool with my family. :) We had a horrible tornado hit last week in our area in Joplin, MO. This was a good reminder to our family that we haven't done a video inventory of our house yet, so that's what we worked on this holiday weekend.

I do have some new recipes I need to post, and hopefully I can get to those sometime this week. I have a half-day of school left on Tuesday, and then I go straight into teaching eMINTS workshops for the rest of the month of June.

Here's this week's menu. You will see a repeat from last week with the apple butter chicken that I just didn't get to, so be looking for the recipe soon. :) Enjoy and have a great week! Be sure to follow me on Facebook to get fast updates from the blog. :)

Sunday - Caramelized Beef Kabobs, Foil Pack Potatoes, Grilled Pineapple, Green Beans
Monday - Eat at mom's house!
Tuesday - Ott's House Casserole, Broccoli, Salad
Wednesday - Apple Butter Glazed Chicken, Green Beans, Salad, Strawberries
Thursday - Grilled Tilapia with Horseradish Sauce, Broccoli, Salad, Strawberries
Friday -Rotisserie Chicken (from the grocery store), Spinach, Salad
Saturday - Date night with the hubby!

First, I want to thank all of you for your kind words last week. Your thoughts and prayers were much appreciated. Our family had a tough week, but we are trying to get back on track. That means I actually have a menu for you this week. I am keeping it a bit simple, and I will be grilling a lot, but this is the time of year for lots of grilling, right? ;) I will have two recipes posted for you later this week, so be sure to check back later for those details.

Here's this week's menu. Enjoy and have a great week! Be sure to follow me on Facebook to get fast updates from the blog. :)

On Wednesday, May 11, my dad lost a painful battle with stomach cancer. This happened much sooner than our family expected, but now my dad is no longer suffering and is at peace.

I have been at my mom's house since Wednesday night, so no menu planning is going to happen this week, even though I need it more than ever. This will just have to be a peanut butter sandwich week for my family.

Please look through the archives for more menu ideas, or go to orgjunkie.com. I'll be back next week.

This is going to be another short post, but at least I have a menu for you this week! :) We are having a college student move in with us during her student teaching semester, so we spent much of our weekend moving rooms around in preparation for her coming.

This week's menu has lots of easy-to-prepare recipes. I needed to be able to cook a lot on Sunday in preparation for the busy week. The only recipe I don't have for you is the BBQ Chicken Cheddar Braid, since I made it up, but I will post directions later in the week. I had one loaf of frozen bread dough left, and that's how I decided to use it up. :)

Here's this week's menu. Enjoy and have a great week! Be sure to follow me on Facebook to get fast updates from the blog. :)
