Unfortunately, we have had a couple of setbacks on prepping the house for sale so we didn't get to celebrate listing the house last weekend as we'd originally planned. We discovered that the basement footings are cracked in one corner of the house and it will need to be fixed before we list the house. After getting some estimates we found out that the work will have to be done from the outside of the house, which means we have to wait for the ground to thaw in order to fix the basement. Well, at this very moment we are getting dumped on by snow, again. Sigh...sometimes it is hard to remember that the Lord knows exactly what is going on. I often wonder if He is working things so that only He can get the praise.
I am trying to use up a few things from my freezer and pantry this month so that we have less to take with us when we move (and then I have less shopping to do). I am also trying to keep the meals simple and easy, which can be difficult when you're trying to keep them healthy as well. I'm sure there will be more days this month than usual where we'll be eating leftovers or grabbing a bite while out and about.
March 4-10
- Chicken Alfredo Pizza and fresh fruit
- Chicken with spaghetti, and glazed carrots
- Freezer Ham Sammies and a side salad
- Salsa Chicken, rice, and black beans
- Breakfast for supper - Ham and Cheese Omelet Roll with fresh fruit and American fries
- Chicken Pot Pie (I made two last month and froze the second one)
- My dear friend, Sarah, is helping me plan (and host) an adults-only formal dinner party as a going away gift of sorts. We will greatly miss all of our friends here and are looking forward to the break in painting, packing, and cleaning. Here is a full menu post so you can see what delicacies we are planning to create.
- Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches with tomato soup
- Chicken and Rice Enchiladas (from the leftover salsa chicken), shredded lettuce, and black beans
- Venison Stir-Fry
- Pizza, fruit salad, and fresh veggie tray
- Turkey Subs, chips and salsa, and fruit salad
- Red beans and rice
- Venison Steak Fajitas with black beans and rice
- Peppery Beef Sandwiches, a side salad, and fresh fruit
- Still deciding on the final dinner as we'll be trying to get settled in but I'd still like to do something special for the Holiday.
