[Charmie777]

Hello menu peeps!!!! How is you all!?
Today is gorgeous Fall weather...finally! But of course, I'm heading out of town this weekend to Phoenix where it's still gonna be in the 90's!! Not fair!!!
BUT...I get to see my eldest DS play professional baseball for the first time! So excited for that! We're going just for Sat and Sun...a quick trip. So no cooking this weekend for me.

Here's my menu for the rest of the week. Share yours!!!!

Saturday and Sunday - Phoenix!!

Monday - Mexican Chicken-Corn Chowder with cornbread and salad

Tuesday - Pork Chops With Horseradish-Maple Glaze and and Autumn Chopped Salad from Pinterest.

Wednesday - Mini Pork and Apple Meat Loaves with potatoes and corn

Thursday - Carne Guisada (Mexican Beef Stew) with mashed potatoes and green beans

Friday - Cherry Cola Roast (Pork or Beef) - this didn't get made this past week

This week was fun ... the last week of my Catered Lunch Group. NO more lunches for 45 every day. It is relief, but I did enjoy it. Back to normal for a bit. I have 2 small weddings in Oct and Nov, and am looking at heading to the mountains for a long weekend if I can fit it in.
Still hot down here, but in the 70's in the am and late night, which isn't too bad; but 80's during the day. Fall isn't here yet; but, I know some of you are enjoying it.
C - enjoy the game this weekend!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SAT ...
Just me, so leftover cornish hen from Fri night. Maybe a wrap sandwich; or, just throw in a cooler with a couple of cold beers and head to the beach.
---------
SUN ...
http://www.food.com/recipe/sarasotas-spicy-savory-white-bean-chili-390068, of course sour cream and cheese; corn bread with jalapeno butter
----------
MON ...
Ladies #1 and #2: Asian salmon with a warm broccoli slaw; orange salad
Me: Pan seared tilapia in a panko crust; warm sweet and sour broccoli slaw; roasted potato wedges
----------
TUES ...
Me: Leftover chili; corn bread; maybe a salad
----------
WED ...
Lady #1: Grilled pork tenderloin in an fresh herb and lemon marinade; roasted potato wedges; brussels sprouts; mixed berry salad
Lady #2: TBD company, but not sure what she wants. I'm guessing a beef tenderloin and traditional sides
Me: Busy day so, a tuna melt, chips, and a pickle; or I could stuff the other half of the acorn squash with sausage, onions, and apples.
----------
THURS ...
Lady #3: Pork tenderloin (Asian flavor, recipe TBD); cucumber, onion and fennel salad; fried rice; almond green beans
Me: Work, so taking a Salad (need a veggie night) - greens, egg, cheese, bacon, olives, beans, tomato, onion, etc.; maybe a warm bacon dressing
----------
FRI ...
Ladies #1 and #2: Game/Card Night - TBD
Me: Out I think; or a g/f for dinner. Pork chops; some kind of baked spud and brussels sprouts.
----------------------------------------------------------------
This week, I am really trying to use up a lot of staples. I only want to buy what I need until I use the older stuff up.

I've been gone for a bit, but back now. I've kept up with menus, just haven't had much of a chance for posting - life has kicked in to high gear!

Everyone's menus sound (and look!) fantastic - thanks for sharing!!

Our week looks like this:

Sunday: Apple butternut soup in a bread bowl. This is mostly for me, anyone who wants a different choice can search thru the leftovers.

Monday: Burgers on the grill, baked beans, peaches, carrot sticks

Tuesday: Simple Enchiladas Casserole

Wednesday: Leftover night!

Thursday: Busiest night of the week, so it's grilled cheese and tomato soup!

Friday: Chicken and Bean Stew

Saturday: My version of Ham and Sharp Cheddar Biscuits with a green salad on the side.

Have a great week everyone!!!
