September's Menu #3... no fall in sight

It is still hot as blazes here.  While the rest of the country talks about cold fronts, we'd be glad for it to drop into the 70s!!!

Here's what we're eating:
Sunday~ HoneyBaked Ham, twice-baked sweet potatoes, sautéed Swiss chard from the garden (one of the few things still growing)
Monday~ Spaghetti
Tuesday~ Taco 'bowls': rice, black beans, seasoned beef, lettuce, tomato, avocado. Yum!
Wednesday~ Homemade rotisserie style chicken breasts, roasted sweet potatoes, green beans (from the freezer)
Thursday~ Sliced roast beef, roasted sweet potatoes or brown rice, tossed salad
Friday~ Must-goes of whatever leftovers we have from the week.
Saturday~ Family birthday celebration.  I'll be taking a family recipe - Cheese & Cracker Salad, and homemade peach ice cream.

September Menu #2... is it fall yet??

Temps have been so hot here -
I went outside this weekend, and no kidding - I got so hot that I couldn't see.
Crazy.

Anyway, we followed last week's menu relatively well - hubs asked for breakfast for dinner on Friday, and Saturday I made eggplant parm to use some of the eggplant coming in.

Sunday~ Burgers & dogs, homemade baked beans
Monday~ Beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and homemade gravy
Tuesday~ Sloppy Joes.  Carryover from last week.
Wednesday~ Hubs goes bowling.  Ds & I will fend for ourselves.
Thursday~ Tacos, Mexican rice, refried beans.
Friday~ Nachos with taco night leftovers.
Saturday~ TBA.  Maybe some chicken on the grill.

And now it is September... menu!

We did eat last week - I did plan a menu - I just never got around to posting it.  I have no excuse since today is Labor Day and I'm off all day. :)

Last week:
I felt terribly unmotivated to do any cooking or planning.  We managed.
Sunday~ I made Pioneer Woman's chili.  In a feat of leftover wizardry, I used some leftover taco meat and morphed it into said chili.  My guys were happy.
Monday~ Breakfast for dinner: pancakes + bacon = happiness.
Tuesday~ Spaghetti.  How we love thee.
Wednesday~ Hubs went bowling with friends so I made a run for the drive-thru at Chick-fil-A for ds#3 and me.
Thursday~ Pizza from the freezer.
Friday~ Out to eat at our fave Mexican spot.
Saturday~ Bourbon chicken (no bourbon included), rice, green beans

And this week??
Sunday~ Fried chicken (from Publix - no I did not make it), coleslaw (I made that) and homemade mac'n'cheese.
Monday~ Out for lunch for my birthday.  Dinner was Greek chicken & potatoes with some sausage links thrown in for hubby, along with green beans.
Tuesday~ Leftover spaghetti, perhaps with some eggplant if I feel like making it.
Wednesday~ my real birthday.  Hubs insists he's going bowling, but he's not very good at lying.  He'd definitely lose at poker.  I think we'll go out to eat.  But even if he *does* bowl, we'll have plenty of food to pick from.
Thursday~ family dinner with a friend
Friday~ Sloppy joes & chips.  Easy, simple end to the week.
Saturday~ Hoping Hubs will consent to grill (he was supposed to do it this weekend but didn't feel well).
