Menu Plan for Week of 2/19

I noticed that some of you like to post your menus for the coming week. This week I am actually getting it together to cook for poor Gman and I thought I would share with you!

This is always subject to change without notice!

Thursday is Meals On Wheels delivery day when dad and I deliver and then go to lunch and then head to Wal-Mart for their shopping.

Last week we headed out for an extra excursion to a local Apiary to get local fresh honey. Yum! :) I got a quart of honey and 100 Amaretto flavored honey sticks. Yum Again!!!! Dad and I dove into those on the drive home...

This week we are headed to the Amish stores. I want some of their yummy butter and some dried herbs and veggies and some quinoa (pronounced keenwa), lebanon balogna and I am sure I will find some other goodies! Yum again!

Monday:

Apple-Cheese Frittata with Broccoli

Tuesday:

Grilled Honey Chicken with Oven Roasted Potatoes and Steamed Broccoli with Greek Seasoning

Wednesday:

BBQ Quesadillas with Fruit

Thursday:

Smoked Chicken White Chili with Cornbread

Friday:

Mandarin Pork Chops with Rice & Steamed Asian Veggies

We eat leftovers on the weekend or Gman cooks! ;-D

PS I subscribe to emeals.com and receive 2 menus per week which gives us 14 recipes to choose from plus the shopping list!!!!! I subscribe to: Low Fat Wal-Mart Meal Plan and Regular Wal-Mart Meal Plan. I chose the Wal-Mart plans because when moving around in the 5th wheel, there is always a Wal-Mart nearby!

Why 2 menus? Well, sometimes I just don't like some of the recipes on one list, so I get the recipes on the other list.

We eat a low-fat, low sodium diet but it is quite easy to convert the regular menu for our diet since I have been doing it so long.

Happy Saturday!

I love planning meals from the clean eating magazine site. They typically have low fat and low sodium meals.

Thank you so much for your help. My voice is coming back ,but It not there yet. I love the idea of choc no bake cookies. I will look on the web for a recipe. I never knew that flour was a factor. Thank you so much for letting me know. I might even try the cheese cake. That sounds really good.

That would be great if I could get all my guys to eat the same thing on the same night. I suppose a few nights of going hungry or making their own meal might sway them to my way of thinking. :)

Your menu for this coming week looks delicious. I haven't made quesadillas in quite awhile, I might add them to our menu this week. Thanks for the ideas.

Wow! You got your week covered with sumptious meal plan! I tried to do it but I was not really consistent. Sometimes I crave for something that wasn't in the plan and I had to have it. I know. Bad me!

Thank you so much for the love and prayers :) All the blessings to you my friend :)

The Mockingjay

It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to the characters of this Trilogy.

This 3rd and last book in The Hunger Games Trilogy was not remotely what I thought it would be. While the first two books were books about horrific competition and massive loss it was also about the indomitable will to live and thrive of the human spirit.

I thought that this book would be much as the other two. Our heros are tested and then survive to live happily ever after.

But, this book is much deeper and probably much more realistic than that. The thin skinned President Snowden in his extreme anger makes it clear that Katniss, her family and even her village are not going to be allowed to live in the peace that we anticipated after the first two books. To the end that President Snowden wants to see Katniss and everyone who follows her and her courage destroyed, we are drawn deeply into a story of battle both internal and external, love and loss and the dramatic results of a long lived, hard fought war while unsure of who is friend and who is foe.

The end of this book was a loss in many respects. The loss of a group of people to whom I was drawn and the loss of a way of life for those characters. While the war was won, the battles took their toll on all of the characters that we have come to know and love and their lives are forever changed by the end of this book and trilogy.

Catching Fire

This 2nd book in The Hunger Games Trilogy was even better than number one!

I read it in about a day and a half.

I simply could NOT put it down!

The main thrust of this book is the Quell games. Every 25 years the districts must take part in not one but two games to celebrate the domination of the Capitol.

If I go further than that with explanation, I will probably ruin #1 for you, so let's just say that the Mockingjay has a part in this and that the families of Peeta and Katniss as well as Gale are well represented.

The ending leaves us hungry for more at the edge of an abiss...

Now, on to book 3.

PS--Don't start this series without purchasing all three books because you will surely kick yourself if you can't go right to the next book!

The Hunger Games

Book 1 of the Trilogy:
GREAT READ! This was recommended to me by my hair stylist while I was in Missouri. I purchased it for my Kindle, but subsequently passed it up for other reads. My mistake! What an engaging book! Following Katniss and Peeta as well as the other characters in a richly written narrative of the Hunger Games which are a fight to the death each year of children chosen from each of the 12 poor downtrodden districts of the country of Penam for the enjoyment of the spoiled, protected class of people in the "Capital". Gripping and twisting right to the end! I liked it so much that the second I finished I felt like I couldn't let go of the characters and zipped right on to the second volume of the trilogy! RECOMMEND HIGHLY!

Pumpkin Roll

Pumpkin Roll by Josi S. Kilpack~~This book was recommended by another blogger who made it sound so good that I I just had to check t out. I purchased my copy for Kindle and really enjoyed it! The author writes a very fine mystery without using vulgarity or objectionable content which is refreshing. This book was a fun one for the autumn season when our thoughts turn to pumpkins, spices and a nip in the air.

The neighbor is rumored to be a witch and with several other colorful characters of dubious nature, we have a fun Halloween culinary novel.

The nice twist at the end of the story gives an interesting wrap-up to make this book a good light read.

In addition, the recipes sounded so good that I had to copy some of them down and try them--including the Pumpkin Roll of the book title. A good read and good recipes! What's better than that?
