There isn’t a menu this week because of all the food from church friends.  There’s enough left in the fridge to eat on all week.  So blessed!

Be sure to hug those you love every morning before you/they leave. It might be the last time you get to hug them.  I never dreamed that would be the last morning with my husband.  Make sure that your life is right with God. We have absolutely no guarantee of tomorrow.

Tomorrow is something we are not promised.  I’ve heard that many times.  But it’s just a thoughtful saying, right?   Until tomorrow comes and your loved one is suddenly gone from your life.  That happened to me the next morning after this post published.  My husband died suddenly on Sept. 10th!

Hope everyone is staying cool and surviving the hot weather!  Cooler days should be here before long.  School is still keeping me super busy.  Teachers were worn out by Friday this past week!

Hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating family birthdays.  This week is going to be busy with three days of after school meetings or training.  Something tells me that this four day work week may end up seeming like five days.

Here’s our menu:

Monday: Pan grilled Talapia, sauteed spinach, carrots, chocolate birthday cake

Tuesday: Catfish, veggie salad, chocolate birthday cake

Wednesday: Leftovers, including chocolate birthday cake

Thursday: Chef salad (I need to eat salads for the rest of the month after all this birthday cake!!)

Friday: Pizza

Hope everyone had a nice weekend before the beginning of school this week.  Teachers worked all week including yesterday in the district where I work .  We learned more technology than my mind will absorb at once:  Live Binders, Symbaloo, Smore, Scoop.it, etc.  This is going to be such a busy week that we will probably use coupons and eat out or get carry-out food:

Here’s our menu:

Monday: Chick-Fil-A (coupons)

Tuesday:   Wendy’s salad with chicken (coupon)

Wednesday:  Chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, and okra (great comfort food)

Thursday: Chef salad

Friday: ?

Fresh produce tastes so good!  Zucchini is one of our favorite veggies, so I thought I would have some recipes with zucchini and other fresh veggies.  Yum!

Monday: Leftovers

Tuesday: Grilled Vegetable Panini, salad

Wednesday: Potato and Zucchini Frittata

Thursday: Zucchini “Fettuccine” With Tomato Sauce

Friday:  Freschetta Pizza

I had a busy week this past week, worked at school a couple of days, ran errands, and did things it’s hard to find time to do during the school year.  I plan to be up at school at least two days this week, if not three.  A week from tomorrow is when teachers start their professional development week so I hope to get a lot done this week.  Soon, I’ll be saying bye bye to free time to get extra things done.  Some of them will have to wait until next summer.

Monday:  Chef salad with turkey

Tuesday: Chicken, zucchini, squash, onion, mushroom, & fresh okra stir-fry

Wednesday: Leftovers

Thursday:  Tilapia, veggies, salad

Friday: Pizza, salad

Hope you’re enjoying the last few weeks of summer.   We’ve had a good summer with our son and daughter-i-l’s wedding, visiting relatives, and visiting some cool places such as a restaurant called the Firefly Grill in southern Illinois.

The Firefly Grill is named the 2nd Best Eco-Friendly Restaurant in the United States!  People from Chicago (where a lot of great restaurants are located) will drive over three hours to come eat here.  It’s really cool inside with pictures of their relatives in the back room.  If you go and sit in the back room, ask about the picture with the wedding dress.  Sigh! So sweet!

Their fresh corn chowder was awesome (the picture below does not do it justice), and the greens in the salad were so fresh. We were impressed! Here are a few pictures:

Wish I had some of their Fresh Corn Chowder, but since we don’t have a Firefly Grill here in Texas, I’ll just have to keep looking for a recipe that sounds close to theirs.

Here’s our menu for the week:

Monday:  Leftovers from Macaroni Grill (used an awesome coupon yesterday for Buy one Entree/Get One Free)

Tuesday: Chicken tenders, squash & onion stir-fry

Wednesday: Chicken, mashed potatoes, fried okra

Thursday:  Salmon, corn, green beans

Friday: Pizza & salad

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. We had a nice, busy weekend ourselves going to help our son & new d-i-l by moving some of the bigger furniture from our son’s old place to their house.  My husband and our son did the moving while I stayed at their house and helped our d-i-l make chicken curry.  All I did was chop the onion and zucchini and she did the rest.  It was delicious!

Here’s our menu:

Monday:  Pan grilled salmon, black eyed peas with snaps, salad

Tuesday:  Catfish, potatoes, salad

Wednesday:  Leftovers

Thursday: Chef salad

Friday: Pizza (can you see a pattern here?)

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. For some of us in North Texas, we’re enjoying a cool front that is unbelievable for Texas, but we’ll gladly take it. Temperatures in the 60’s on Sunday morning were awesome!

Menu for the week:

Monday:  Eat out

Tuesday:  Chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, fried okra

Wednesday: Chicken, squash, onion stir-fry

Thursday:  Leftovers

Friday: Digiorno Spicy Chicken Supreme Pizza & salad
