Menu Ideas for your Week

The weather continues to be so nice! I am having a hard time keeping my kids inside to get their work done. :)

What are you cooking up this week?

Here are some menu ideas from our house:

On Friday, we had a church family over for dinner. This is the meal I made...it is probably one of my absolute favorites. The chicken is just the best!

Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Copycat Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole
Corn
Paula Deen's Crock Pot Mac and Cheese

The weather was absolutely gorgeous on Saturday! We went hiking and then I did some things outside - watered the trees, cleaned the grill. Then grilled some hamburgers for dinner - isn't grilled food just so good?? And being outside in the beautiful weather makes it taste even better.

Hamburgers
Ranch pasta salad

Since we were having a Super Bowl church party at 3:30pm on Sunday, I just did meatball subs for a quick lunch to tide us over until the game. Meatball subs are great for Sunday lunch because you cook them in the crockpot and then just broil them when you get home for a minute or two.

Meatball Subs

I have said this before but this is a family-favorite! Sierra just said this week...this is one of my favorite meals! LOL! Sounds weird but it is pretty good.

Tator-topped dogs
Tator tots

Spaghetti
Green beans
Garlic bread

My Chili
Cornbread

Grilled chicken sandwiches
Steak fries

For our Super Bowl church party, I made:
Gumbo Meatballs
Lil' Smokies

These two recipes are crowd pleasers and are super simple to prep. They cook in crock pots and that made them perfect for the day with church and doing a blood drive.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined. In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Dredgs each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then in the cracker mixture, and set the chicken aside on a plate.
