Menu Plan Monday


I still haven't made it to buy groceries since we've been home from vacation, so I pretty much did a raid on the pantry tonight for dinner. We ended up with mac-n-cheese, mixed veggies (canned), Stovetop stuffing, along with some leftovers of chicken fingers and mashed potatoes. Oh--and my hubby threw in part of a leftover sub sandwich for himself. It was a little hodge-podge, but it actually hit the spot for all of us. Any of ya'll ever have strange meals like that?
The rest of the week should be much better though...I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow!
Tuesday: Chicken Cacciatore*
Wednesday: Garlic-Lime Chicken*
Thursday: (small group) BBQ sandwiches (but I'm making dessert this time: Yum Yum*)
Saturday: Tuna Cornbread Cakes*
*I'll follow-up each day with the respective recipe.

Your menu looks yummy! It's amazing what you can come up with from the back of the pantry when you are in a pinch, isn't it? It makes me think I run to the grocery before I really need to!
Have a great day, Lora!

Yes, we have lots of strange meals around here. I'll have to try your pizza recipe sometime, although I don't have a deep dish pan. Enjoy the week!

WE do "whatever you can find meals" all the time! The strangest meal I can remember though was when my labor with Little Man and made Hubby go get mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC and fried rice and crab rangoon from my fave Chinese restaurant...apparently I needed to "carb up" for the big delivery!

And...I remember the ol' chips & salsa days at El Chico. The funny thing is, I don't remember who the waiter was that I knew! Is that awful?

The Reading Game: A Review

I was excited to receive this review product recently, thinking my 1st-grade-son could really benefit and enjoy it a lot. And I was right! He is having so much fun with this game. The Reading Game is a fast-paced memory card game using words. The game comes with 6 sets of memory cards with 6 corresponding readers. The idea is for you and your student to play memory with each set of cards (playing 6 rounds with each set), after every 2 rounds your student then reads 2 test sentences to see how he is retaining the new words he is learning. After the whole set has been played, he is then ready to read the corresponding reader...and has learned 30 new words! By the time your student has played every set of cards and read every reader, he will have learned 180 words. Of the 25 most common English words, 23 are on that list; of the 50 most common words, 42 are on that list. So this little game of reading really does prepare your student well. The readers are illustrated with cute

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while.  It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it.  However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it.  Plus it's a little bulky.   When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it!  It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make.   I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course.  They  have these little wooden door hangers for .79.  I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each.  I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing.   I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had).  Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction.   The left
