Insanity in the Kitchen: Menu Planning for the Week of September 24, 2012

It’s an original title, no?

I thought perhaps (and have thought this for quite some time) that if I am planning my meals (which I do) I should put them online.

You know, so others can grab some of my insane inspiration.

Heh.

Really, I plan my meals and then lose the piece of paper that I wrote them on and then can’t remember what we’re having.

So at least this way, I can keep track.

And I’m even going to start putting recipes up.  Again, to keep track of them.  Heh.

So here we go… (and don’t judge – it’s a crazy week… more about that soon!)

Monday – Crockpot Pork Roast with potatoes and carrots – because I will get home at 4:00pm with the children and then we will all leave again — in fact, I’m not sure when we will all eat, but it will be at separate times, so a crockpot meal seemed like a good idea.

Tuesday – Homemade Mac and Cheese – This, often, is a Tuesday staple although I’ve been trying to steer clear of this.  However, Thing 2 made the meal plan this week and it’s her favorite.  We would have it every night if it were up to her.

Wednesday – Tacos – I buy a kit and some hamburger.  Except a friend gave us 15lbs of ground deer meat.  So these will be deer tacos.  Sssshhhhhh.  Don’t tell my kids.

Thursday – Fend for yourself night – I never know how many kids will be here and the hubs and I typically take Thursdays for ourselves, so we just fend for ourselves.

Friday — Decorated cardboard pizzas — the dollar Tony’s pizzas and we add insane amounts of cheese on it.  (It doesn’t come with enough.)  It’s Homecoming game and Thing 2 is cheering and we’re all going (We’re season pass holders!)  We needed something quick and easy!

Saturday – Grilling out — Hamburgers and hot dogs… because we’re all home.. for once.

Sunday – Brown Sugar Chicken — and then a Worship Concert downtown that night.  What could be better?

How about you?  What are you making this week?

I’ll work on recipes as we go — it’s my new line — Insanity in the Kitchen… which may soon lead to Desperately Seeking a Cook.  :)

Until next time…

  1. Looking forward to seeing your recipes. I’ll share with you some of our favorite, quick dishes – if interested. We LOVE deer tacos. It’s the only way we eat them as I married a hunter! =) Have a great week!

    Ugh i don’t have a plan for this week yet. Usually i write everything on a dry erase board in my kitchen. I am lacking inspiration lately. I really want to make a good soup this week. Maybe beef mushroom barley?

  3. If my friend was a fabulous cook, and not just her but her husband too. Wait and her Boys cook too? (She must have a few gems to share!) I’d ask her for a few ideas…but that’s just me!
