2 week menu plan

Well, we are going to be eating less meat around here. I saw a segment on the Oprah show this week and I decided that we are going to drastically cut back on the meat we eat.

So this 2 week menu plan reflects that decision. As you can see, meat is only on there 3-4 times.

Sun 10/19- Teriyaki veggie wraps and fried rice

Mon. 10/20- eggplant parmesan with noodles and marinara, spinach salad, and some kind of bread

Tues 10/21- Tofu Stir Fry and the leftover fried rice from Sun

Wed 10/22- Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, Couscous, and roasted veggies

Thurs. 10/23- Pasta e Fagoli and eggplant sammies on sourdough bread

Fri. 10/24- Kids Halloween Party so whatever everyone brings and I think they are ordering pizza.

Sat 10/25- My parents are coming into town and I asked my mom to make me chicken n dumplings And we will have buttermilk biscuits too.

Sun. 10/26- Queso Blanco Tacos (new recipe from the cookbook I bought today) and rice and beans.

Mon 10/27- Baked Lemon Spaghetti, large salad, and those rolls from the pioneer woman...LOL

Tues. 10/28-Any leftovers in the fridge!

Wed. 10/29- Christophers birthday so Im sure we will go to Chuck E Cheese that night. I can eat a salad and get me a little veggie pizza at least.

Thu 10/30- Stovetop chili( another new recipe from the vegetarian cookbook I bought) and Super Mosit cornbread

Fri 10/31- Beef tips, noodles, and some kind of veggies before heading out to trick or treat.

Sat. 11/1- Leftovers again!

Been waiting to announce....

I had been waiting to make this post because I have been trying to get the pictures scanned....but Ive come to realize that it is just not going to happen. I can't find the time to fight the scanner to make it work for me.

On October 2nd we had a ultrasound...and we found out we are expecting another little boy!

Madison wasn't thrilled at first. She really wanted a sister. But now she seems more excited about having a new little baby in the house. Christopher doesn't really know whats going on so he didn't have to much to say..LOL

Now comes the challenge of finding this guy a name....we are having a hard time with this. We both really thought this baby would be a girl so we really only talked girl names. So now that we know its a boy, we really have to start thinking about it, and for some reason its harder this time around.
