September 3-9
We are watching 4 of my nieces overnight (Friday/Saturday) so we're planning some fun meals.
- Happy Labor Day Grilling - It is tradition around here to grill out on most holidays (including the ones where we have 2' of snow outside) and this is no exception - brats/hot dogs, potatoes, mixed veggies, corn on the cob, and most likely a jello salad
- Comfort Food - Chicken stir fry over rice (I know this is not your "traditional" comfort food but to me it is)
- With it being the first night of King's Kids at church, we may opt to have leftovers or eat out.
- Salad - Southwest grilled chicken salad - grilled chicken, black beans, red pepper strips, tortilla strips, corn kernels, red onions, fiesta blend cheese and still deciding on a dressing recipe
- Tex-Mex - Tacos and black beans with rice
- Soup/Sandwich - Subs, French fries, and fresh fruit
- Italian/Pasta - Spaghetti, mixed veggies, side salad, and French bread
- Breakfast for Dinner - Western Omelets and American fries
- Tex-Mex - Stuffed peppers
- Italian - Pizza (Caprese, veggie, and sausage/black olive stuffed crust)
- Comfort Food - Chicken Pot Pie (I froze a second pie last month)
