Miller Family Ignagural Garden 2009 - Green Acres 004

Sorry to be a day behind but yesterday I spent the day enjoying my little boys.  We played, read, went for a walk, giggled and just had an amazing day.  This week we have Soccer Practice, Mama’s STM 4 All meeting and a visit from Grampie this weekend.

Here’s what’s in store this week at Green Acres Closet.

Sunday:  Easter Dinner with my family in Topeka

Monday:  Black Bean Soft Taco’s

Tuesday:  Soccer Practice

                 Corn Dog’s, Mimi’s Potato Salad and Fruit

Wednesday:  Crockpot Italian Beef, Buttered Noodles and Salad

Thursday: King Ranch Chicken, Green Beans

I hope you all had a blessed Easter weekend.

what’s cookin’?

 

one more cocktail

 

A little calmer week around here, which is a great thing with it being Holy Week.  Cameron has a 1/2 day on Thursday and no school Friday or Monday.  The perks of a Catholic school. Smile

I found myself visiting an old friend, my "Make it Fast, Cook it Slow" cookbook.  Lots of great simple and cost effective recipes and tips in there.  Plus all the recipes are gluten free but they can be easily adapted to not gluten free too.

Saturday:  Our sweet friend Kai had is 8th birthday party.  We shared Pizza and Cake with lots of friends.

Sunday:  Cheeseburgers with all the fixings

      Carrots w/hummus and baked beans

Monday:  BBQ Beans and Weenies

              Corn Muffins and Cucumbers

Tuesday:  Soccer Practice

       Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

Wednesday:  Spaghetti

            Salad and Garlic Toast

Thursday:  Black Bean Soup

                Fritos, Avocado

Friday:    Macaroni and Cheese

               Peas and Applesauce

I really focused on using what we had on hand for the week.  Thankfully my Uncle Wayne had recently gifted me with a freezer full of beef.  We used the spaghetti fixings that we didn’t get to last week.  We had extra leftovers one night so we substituted.  Don’t forget to check out some other great cooks out there and see what they are making at Stone Gable.
