I survived the weekend without my family. It was very nice having all the quiet time to get things done (and boy did I get things done!)…but I like it much better when there’s loudness and craziness and….boys.
Now they’re back…my boys (Daddy included)…along with the loudness and craziness. Ah, life is good.
Because of our trip last week and the Dads-n-Lads retreat over the weekend, we’re all excited and ready for home cookin’ again! Bring on the vegetables! (Because McDonalds french fries do NOT count.)

We’re headed off to Kansas! It’ll be a super quick trip for a wedding reception…and to see my new baby nephew!!! I’ve already warned my sister-in-law that the only time she’ll be able to hold her son is to nurse him…other than that – he’s MINE!
So that’s the menu! You’ll find many more menu ideas at Organizing Junkie!
Can you tell we’re having fall weather around here? Bring on the soup!! And with fall in the air…I created a few new free downloadable menu planners JUST FOR FALL!!
Here’s a peak at one of them!
There are five more new ones!
Go help yourself!
Hi Laura-
I was wondering what ke-fir is?? Do you make it or buy it? And what else can you do with it??
I am trying to change our diet over to a healthier one.My children will do smoothies, not to fond of veggie ones yet.
I really like your menu for the week. I am going to try a few of the items. Have a wonderful week!
Blessings-
Rachelle
Great menu for the week. Lots of ideas.
Hi Laura
The Blueberry Coffee cake sounds so yummy thank you for the downloads :) have a wonderful week.
Great menu :)
Love the Fall Menu Plan!
My Menu Plan
Your menu sounds yummy, and your menu planners are very nice! Once I get a new color ink cartridge, I’ll have to print a couple out!
Have a delicious week!
And here I was thinking I was clever for managing lunches and dinner this week. That all looks yummy and I think I’m going to be adding some more recipe’s to my list.
Woo Hoo!!! Thanks for the new menu planners! My crew loves when I use them from your site…so there’s no surprises,lol.
Glad you’ll B gettin’ 2 C the new baby! Nothin’ better than a new baby to cuddle, smell, and kiss!!!
I have a question about your corn muffins…do they taste sweet and are they cakey? They look yummy! We made homemade pizza Friday night and I used your pizza crust recipe. It was SO good! I have tried to make a good pizza crust for years and never found one we liked. I am so excited that we finally found a good one! We will be making homemade pizza much more often now! Also, you posted about canning applesauce on the exact day that I was given a bushel of apples from a friends orchard! I have already canned a bunch of applesauce and am having fun giving jars of it to my friends and family! Thanks for your blog…it is just such an encouragment to me:)
Thank you for the new fall menu planners!! Just the kick-in-the-seat-of-the-pants I needed to get back to making a weekly meal plan. I’d been slacking just a bit the last few weeks. ;-)
You always have such a complete menu – breakfast through dinner – awesome! :)
Love the menu plan! We tried several of your dishes last week and they were great! :D
Glad you had a great weekend and got a lot done with the boys gone!
Enjoy getting to see family and hold your new nephew!!
Thank you for the menu planners Laura. They are beautiful! Your menu looks fantastic. Have a great week.
I’m loving your menu, it sounds wonderful! We are smoothy lovers at our house too, thanks for linking to your previous post. I’m bookmarking your menu plan downloads, how cute!
Have a great week,
Steph
I love this new menu plan. Fall is my favorite season! Thank you for the downloads!
Thank you for the menu plans…they are so cute and perfect for fall!
Tomorrow’s lunch sound s good. I love corn on the cob but I tend to lather it in butter and apparently that’s not good for me.
I was wondering how long you’d be able to stay away from that new baby. I have been driving around with a gift for the new boy in my car for a week…I just need to stop at the P.O. to mail it. It would have been faster if I just drove out there for a few hours!!
Give that boy a hug and smooch from me and Lil Major (Oh, from The Colonel, too!). Have a safe trip!
