Sorry folks! I don’t know what my problem is but I’m in a major food rut. So, I’m sorry I haven’t been posting any new recipes. Tim’s work hours have been crazy, plus he has been helping harvest corn with his dad. This means he hasn’t been home for dinner, therefore I haven’t felt the need to cook regular meals. On top of that, I’m obviously still working at my sucky job and I’m just busy in general so I haven’t had time to upload anything new here. Really, how did I ever find the time? I don’t know how other bloggers do it!
But with that being said, I’m going to try to make an effort to get back into the swing of things. I’m starting with posting my menu for the next several days. And then tonight I plan on uploading pictures and getting caught up on some recipes that I made over my break from blogging. Hopefully I’ll be able to add 3 or 4 posts on here tonight and/or tomorrow.
Menu:
tonight – omelet type of thing with bell peppers, onions, kale, and eggs
tomorrow – split pea soup
not sure of the order of the following:
shrimp fried rice
honey baked chicken with roasted broccoli
sea scallops – not sure how I’ll prepare them yet…
shredded beef BBQ sandwiches, sweet potato fries, and a vegetable
I’m not sure how many readers I have left, but THANK YOU!

I hear there’s a big game tomorrow…a football game, maybe? I’m not really sure. Professional sports aren’t really on my radar. But I’ve heard a few comments here and there about the super bowl so that must be it. 
Just don’t ask me who’s playing!
Anyway, I thought you might want some last minute snack ideas. So, here’s a round-up of a few things that I think might go well with watching a football game. I hope your team wins!
Main Dish:
Traditional Chili or White Chili Make sure you have cornbread or biscuits on the side and all the fixings to go on top – crackers, cheese, sour cream, fritos, scallions, etc…
Appetizers:
Pizza Puffs
Enchilada Roll-ups
Pigs in a Blanket and Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Bites
Snacks and Dips:
Jalapenos would be the star of the game day for us.
Jalapeno Hummus
Jalapeno Popper Dip
Hot Pizza Dip {favorite!}
Oh, I almost forgot Salsa! Can’t have a football game without the chips and salsa.
And while we are at it, we can’t forget the beer either. Here’s a Beer Cheese Dip!
For the sweeter side of things, here’s a Cookie Dough Dip!
Dessert:
Keeping it simple, here are a few bar recipes that you can’t go wrong with:
Peanut Butter Fingers
Oreo Bars
Chewy Brownies
And last but not least, you gotta have drinks!
I recommend Rum Slushies!
Enjoy and have fun!

I don’t know why I struggle with meal planning so much! I need to get back in the swing of planning and cooking meals and I find that I do better when I post menus here. It holds me accountable!
tonight: grilled turkey burgers with leftover homemade mac and cheese from last night
tomorrow: chicken enchiladas
Thursday: bbq beef cups
Friday: homemade pepperoni pizza
Saturday: steaks cooked on the grill and baked potatoes
Sunday: grilled brats and homemade baked beans
Also, the lettuce is ready in our garden, so we’ll be having side salads with every meal too.

I’ve fallen off the menu planning wagon. I’m giving it a try again this week, but don’t be surprised if I don’t keep up with it.
With warmer weather, we are likely to grill out often and usually that’s decided at a moments notice. So, I’ll be even more unstructured with my meals/menus throughout the spring and summer. Maybe we’ll go back to menu planning later on, and I’ll start posting them again. But, there is talk of the hubs changing shifts again at work, so sure as the world, when I get one routine down, it will change!
Meals:
sloppy joes served with mac and cheese
supreme nachos
chef salads
soup {I’m thinking something like beef and noodle or vegetable beef}
tuna casserole
stuffed chicken breasts with broccoli
leftovers
