Do you want to eat today?

I have been reading more about how to manage your household. There are many hints floating around about how to be the best mom, wife, cook, etc. Here is an application of one of those hints. Feel free to be amazed, ask me for recipes, etc. I am quite proud.

Menu for the week

  • Red beans and rice with corn
  • Enchiladas with chips and salsa
  • Herbed shrimp and pasta with spinach salad
  • Pork chops, greens, black-eye peas and Cornbread (mmmm!)
  • Steak, baked potato and freezer veggie
  • Home-made pizza
  • Creamy-chicken casserole with green beans and other veggie


Now, for humor's sake, the restaurant menu version

  • Cajun-style red beans with Aztec rice, served with freshly boiled corn on the cob
  • Enchiladas smothered in our special red sauce [don't ask] served with our special family-recipe salsa and chips
  • Herbed shrimp and angelhair pasta with salad of fresh spinach, golden raisins and crunchy cashews
  • Country-style pork ribs with fresh thyme [I bought the plant at Wal-mart], fresh turnips with bacon, black-eye peas and Real Southern Buttermilk Cornbread
  • Steak au poive with baked potato and buttered green peas
  • Brick-oven style pizza
  • Creamy chicken casserole with saute green beans and fresh spinach salad [encore]

How about that?

Tuesday: Taco Bell, fast food combo of choice.
Wednesday: Hungry Howie's 6 dollar pizza (pepporoni).
Thursday: Raid the pantry, grab whatever you can find.

Your regular menu sounds grand.
