Menu Plan Monday -

-

Yes, I DO realize it's only Saturday - but tomorrow we're having company....


Alrighty – scheduled for surgery first thing Monday morning. Let’s pray everything goes as planned ! Speaking of planning – it’s time for Menu Plan Monday again !!





Since the kids will be cooking all week – you’ll notice the recipes are a bit more child friendly !!

Sunday – I have 2 legs of lamb ready for the oven – they’ve been marinating the that McCormick Wet Rub that I LOVE !! Can’t say enough about that product. It’s also great on boneless, skinless chicken thighs thrown on the grill in the summer.
With that I’ll be serving scalloped taters, grilled asparagus and green bean casserole. I’m making flan for the grownups for dessert, and cake for the kids.

Monday – Hopefully there will be enough leftover lamb to make pita sandwiches.

Tuesday – Cheesy Chicken in the crock - recipe

Cheesy Chicken –

Just throw some chicken (about 7 pieces breasts or 14 thighs) boneless and skinless
Into a crockpot (which you’ve already sprayed with non-stick spray to make clean up much, much easier)

Mix together 2 cans (10 ounces each) of 98% FF cream of Chicken Soup and 1 (10 ounce) can of Cheddar Cheese Soup. Add in some Garlic Powder (I use a TBSP – but then again, I like Garlic) Pour this over the chicken, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. You can serve this over a baked tater, or noodles. The sauce is excellent over a potato. This serves 7, at 5 WW points each.

Wednesday – Easy Crockpot Roast –

Put a 3-4 pound lean beef roast in a crock (did ya remember to spray it??? The crock, not the roast….) Dump an envelope of Dry Onion Soup Mix and a 14.5 ounce can of seasoned tomatoes (or stewed tomatoes, whichever you may have) There you go – cover and cook for 8 hours on low. Beef is 3 points per 2 ounces, figure out how much you eat.

Thursday – Lasagna – made with no bake noodles – quick and easy.

Friday – leftovers.

I know, I know, the week is not very inspiring – but hey – look who’s cooking !!!
Oh - and yes, I'm still doing the organizational challenge - get this, just today I managed to complete my Bio exam (I'm going to try and do an extra Lab so I have all next week off) and even pay ALL THE BILLS for April. They are all stamped and dated and ready for dh to mail. Tomorrow - I'll enter all these bills into Quicken, file them away, and get started dejunking - one day at a time, right.....

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
