Last week was our school's science fair, of which I was in charge. Fortunately, I had two lovely, helpful ladies on the team and it ended up being a success. I am so glad it's over - that's one less thing to worry about.
As a result of the science fair, I didn't end up sticking much to my menu. Good thing I didn't publish it on the blog! ;) But here's my menu for this week. I'm going to try some new recipes.
Monday - Roast Chicken with Lemons, garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus (from our garden!)
Tuesday - Chicken Gyros for 2 (made with leftover chicken), fruit, chips
Wednesday -----
Thursday - Spaghetti (sauce from freezer), salad, bread
Friday - Molasses-Brined Pork Chops, rice, veg
Saturday - Manicotti (from freezer), salad, veg
Sunday - Brats and hot dogs on grill, potato packet on grill, salad
A couple of weeks ago, I finally made the venison pepper steak that had been on the menu for quite a while. Carole gave me the idea and I tweaked it, based on what I had on hand. I forgot to put it in the crockpot in the morning, so I made it in the oven. S said it was the most tender venison he'd ever had. I felt like that was quite a compliment. I'd like to try the recipe with beef sometime, too. The flavor with the peppers and onions was great!
What are you serving this week? If you don't know yet, check out orgjunkie.com for other menu ideas.
MMM! Your menu sounds delish!

We had crock pot chicken tonight and we're having tacos tomorrow night but honestly that's as far as I've planned for this week.

I discovered a package of chicken thighs in the back of the freezer yesterday and decided that they needed to be eaten. I was pretty boring about it, though. Just tossed 'em on the George Foreman grill...didn't even remember to season! They were still good, though. I even remembered to save one for kitty food later should I run out of cans before grocery rolls around.
Kitties like chicken, even if it's leftovers. Although I suspect they would prefer your venision...

We are in a salad rut right now...I need to branch out. We did however have grilled/planked chicken breasts on one of our salads - delicious!

Not sure what we're serving but your menu makes my mouth water. With one recuperating, one with a sinus infection (that one's me) and one who is just as happy with cereal, we'll call tonight's supper "pot luck." That means everyone can fix whatever they feel like eating.
I cannot imagine being in charge of a science fair! YOU GO GIRL!

Congratulations on the successful science fair!
Are you already able to grill outdoors? I'm jealous!
