Weekly Menu

We always try to have a menu planned out on Saturday or Sunday for the following week. This helps with grocery shopping, most of the time. There has been a few times I had to send Eric back to the store because I thought I knew what I needed for a recipe and didn't look at it, which resulted in ingredients left off the list.

This week's menu is - 

Saturday - Salad with chicken
Sunday - Lasagna 
Monday - leftovers 
Tuesday - Turkey patties with veggies

Wednesday - Spaghetti

Thursday - Pulled Pork

Friday - Chicken with veggies 

Salad with chicken 
Season chicken breast and fry in a little olive oil. Chop it up and add to our salad. 

Turkey patties 
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 chopped red bell pepper
1/2 chopped onion
Worcestershire sauce
Season salt
Garlic powder
Diced jalapenos
Mix together, cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes on each side.


Pulled pork
Using the recipe out of Pioneer Woman's cookbook


Chicken with veggies
Cook the chicken like I do for the salad but I don't chop it up.

Blogging Bandwagon

I've decided to start blogging about my knitting and other crafts I jump into. I will include recipes, kid moments that I want to remember, and maybe other things I find interesting at the time. I hope you enjoy reading about the fun things I talk about.


A little about me -- We are a family of 6; Eric, myself, and 4 boys (Nick 16, Alex 14, Ian 10, and Jakey 4). We have lived in Springfield, MO for about 10 months now and are enjoying the city. I am attending school through University of Phoenix online. In March of 2012, I will have my associates degree and plan on starting my bachelors degree two weeks after that. I started knitting in April this year and LOVE it!! After just completing my first shawl, I have decided shawls might be the thing I like knitting the most. I also enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing games. Of course my favorite thing is to spend time with my family. Eric and I both enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes.


Thank you for checking out my little space!
