This is a mid-week post so this is what is, what was, and what will be.
Dad's away, so dinner is more flexible.
The school/after school activities are starting to settle into a pattern and I am finding the flow of the school year. Takes me awhile.
So yesterday was Monday and we had fajitas, with lots of cheese and sour cream for those who were so inclined. I cooked up some stir-fry chicken and used a packaged seasoning and added the peppers and onions. So yum.
We also had sliced Honey-crisp apples, which are only in season for a few months, and I can't get enough. I usually just put the sides out on the table for the free-for-all.
Oh and salsa and chips.
Tonight is going to be a pizza night, since I only have two boys home. That's good for me!
Tomorrow I am planning to do breakfast for dinner, the usual on Wednesday when dad's away.
Scrambled eggs, bacon, muffins and fruit.
Thursday is going to be Grilled Chicken with rice and veggies.
Friday is usually pizza, but we will have had that this week, so probably paninis.
So far everybody's happy!

Merkel Menus For a Busy Week
It's going to be a busy one, folks.
Over the Summer I had forgotten what life gets like when I start schooling in September.
So, it will be a crockpot week and I am really glad that I am doing this now, because tonight I will be shopping for all the good stuff that I am going to stuff into that pot all week.

Well, being a holiday, we're going to be enjoying an open house at the new home of our good friends!
That means a late dinner.

Chips
Fruit- whatever's on sale at Walmart
ice cream

These are yummy and go into the crockpot before the day gets too crazy.

Serve over rice.
Friday- Co-op day. Friday is always pizza day!
Paninis for those of us that don't like pizza. I bought a panini maker and it is one of the most used small appliances that we have.
We like fake seafood and swiss on ciabatta bread.
#1 son likes PBandJ he says is an amazing treat!
and that's our week. Whew! I'm glad this is all planned for the week!
