We were gone for the weekend, having a wonderful Fourth of July weekend with our extended family. Now that we’re home, I’m excited to get back into the swing of things with a nice menu for the week. It’s fun to go on a trip…but it’s nice to be home and get everything back to normal.
Early last week, I ordered and received several nice big chickens from a local farmer. I’m excited to cook one up tomorrow to have broth and cooked chicken to eat on this week.
We also have a few things ready to harvest in our garden that I can’t WAIT to eat!! It does not get any better than fresh veggies from the garden!

Laura, I am so with you on vegetables from the garden! I’ve been beyond excited these past couple of weeks to be saying “oh, let me just go out to the garden to get that…”.
And let me tell you, these veggies are yummy! It’s fun to see another gardener enjoying her harvest! Great menu (and yummy sounding enchilada bake- I do a similar one with beans and peppers in it, too- we top it with sour cream and it’s so good).
I just recently discovered your blog, and made the applesauce muffins last week, and this week I will be making the orange muffins.. Thanks for the fantastic recipes..
Your menu sounds fabulous!
Your menu looks great, Laura. I’m jealous that you’re getting veggies … mine are mostly gone, except that last few tomatoes. But hopefully, my okra will come in soon. And my winter squash plants are doing fairly well, so that’s just a waiting game now. :)
Here’s my meal plan for the week: http://tinymama.blogspot.com/

Glad you had a great weekend! Thanks again for helping me out last week. It was such a nice break to get away and be unplugged for awhile.
Awesome menu. The cheesy turkey sausage sounds yummy.
Laura, it sounds like a great week! I was thinking about trying the donuts this week and almost added them to my menu plan. Now you posted it and re-read the recipe, I’m definitely going to do it. Perfect Saturday morning breakfast! I can’t wait to make them.
The homemade turkey sausage sounds so good! great menu plan!
You’ve got some great things on your menu!
Hope you’re having a great week!
