January 29th - February 4th

Welcome to a new week.  Not to many new recipes for you this week.  I will get back to new recipes this next week.  
  • Sunday:  Out to dinner with family who were in town
  • Monday: Leftover Seared Flank Steak on Himalayan Salt Block and Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese
    • Everything froze nicely...I put the potatoes in a container and covered with plastic wrap tightly then I added the steak in an aluminum foil packet on top of the potatoes.  
  • Tuesday:   Waffles and bacon
    • We didn't care for this waffle recipe...though I didn't have the lemon zest.  We didn't care for the texture, they were chewy.  Will try another recipe next week since we have a LM who eats waffles every morning and now that we have a waffle iron we need to keep his stash up. 
  • Wednesday: Pasta with Vodka Sauce (jar), leftover garlic bread and salad.
  • Thursday: Out to dinner
  • Friday: Goat Cheese with caramelized onion turkey burger and pretzel rolls with spinach salad
  • Saturday: Roasted Garlic and Pesto Pizza on Trader Joe's Garlic and Herb pizza crust

January 22nd - 28th


  • Sunday: Bobby’s Lighter Baked Spaghetti
    • This was good, since I'm not a fan of full flavor tomatoes next time I will use my favorite jar sauce.  Otherwise, it was yummy!
  • Monday: Chimichurri Steak Fajitas 
    • These were yummy to our tummies!  Even Little Man liked the steak - which isn't normal!
  • Tuesday: Out to dinner
  • Wednesday: like Max and Erma’s® Soup
    • This is just like Man and Erma's soup...since the ones here in L'ville closed, this is the best I can get till we head back to STL for a visit.  
    • I had to boil this at the end to get it thicker. 
    • I've read that some people puree' the Rotel first, I didn't....next time I will.
  • Thursday: DH sauteed some pork chops with a smoke chipotle sea salt and we added roasted vegetables round out the meal.
    • These were delish!  You can get the salt from Di Olivas
  • Friday: Turkey Burger with leftover Max & Erma's soup on a pretzel roll with the perfect french fries
    • We just added a can of green chilies to the burger along with some salt and pepper.  These were very yummy. 
    • Pretzel Roll:  I think next time I'll be making 6 of these instead of the 4 the recipe states.  They were tooooooo big!  But, they were good!
    • French Fries were top notch!  DH even made his own salt toppings some had cayenne pepper, some had cumin - have fun!
  • Saturday:  Family Visiting Requested - Michael Symon's Mom's "Bellybuster" Lasagna, Salad, Garlic Bread, Tiramisu

January 15 - 21st

Hey There!
I hope you had a fabulous week!   We had company last week, Sunday & Monday of this week.  So, Tuesday was a night of pick up dinner and sit in our pjs the rest of the night while vegging in front of the tv.  I am sure you understand! Then on Wednesday night DH had a business meeting so LM and I had leftovers. 
  • Sunday: Out to dinner
  • Monday: Burgers
  • Tuesday: Steak N shake
  • Wednesday: leftovers, since DH is at a business dinner.  So it is just me and my little man!
  • Thursday:Garlic Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops paired with leftover noodles from DH's dinner and roasted carrots.
    • These were yummy!
  • Friday:   Chili - sorry I don't have a recipe, but it was yummy delicious.
  • Saturday:  Request from DH: Better than Best Fried Chicken
    • As you know this is one of our family favorites and I will only make it every couple of months, since it isn't very healthy.
