weekly menu posting

happy sunday!  hope you all had a great weekend, the only thing that could have made mine better was the hawkeyes pulling off a win but oh well.  this week the goal is to eat all meals at home.  the new iphone comes out soon and in order to fit it into our budget we have to save somewhere, so last week we only ate out once and this week we'll be dining in all week.  hope you're worth it siri.


sunday: baked potatoes with broccoli and cheddar -- we had our hawthorn hill donation today, so i just threw in a couple extra potatoes and dinner was done. 

monday: cheese tortellini with spinach, peas and brown butter -- life group starts up again this week, so mondays will always have to be a quick meal. the recipe states this is only supposed to take twenty minutes, we will see. they tend to always be off on their timing or i'm really slow, not sure which.

tuesday: spanish chicken and rice -- i pinned this recipe awhile back and have been dying to try it, i'll have to report back and let you know how it was.

wednesday: brown sugar-glazed salmon with green beans and shallots -- the best part of this recipe, you take the leftovers and put it towards another recipe, later in the week, see friday's recipe.

thursday: slow-cooker chipotle beef tacos with cabbage and radish slaw -- so excited that fall is almost here, bring on more slow-cooker recipes.

friday: salmon fried rice with cabbage and chilies -- typically friday night we eat out so i thought this could remind us of a take out kind of meal for much cheaper.  i also discovered this week that the fresh salmon at costco is cheaper than frozen, yes please.

saturday: tortilla soup with pork and squash -- another slow-cooker recipe, can't wait to smell this all day while watching football.
