Now that ya'll have seen my meager decorating skills I know you're just itching to know what's on our culinary calendar so I thought I'd share. Actually, that's not my true motivation. I'm really posting because I'm trying to use up food that's already in the house and only buy things that are on sale since groceries seem to have soared to astronomical rates lately. This menu was quite challenging to create and I thought for all that effort it deserved to be posted here. Of course, it's subject to change, especially if Dominoes keeps having that pizza deal for $3.99.
Keep in mind that some of these items I may not eat due to trying in a haphazard way to keep my cholesterol in check. It's felt pretty out of check recently so I need to do something about it.
Wednesday: Cod cooked in foil on the grill with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, salad, leftovers from last night
Thursday: Whole baked chicken with celery, onions, carrots; long grain and wild rice
Friday: BBQ (already made store bought) on buns, baked beans, coleslaw, microwaved sliced potatoes
Saturday: Chicken Alfredo per my daughter, frozen broccoli
Sunday: Tacos, refried beans
Monday: Pinto beans & ham, cornbread, sliced tomatoes and veggies from the garden
Tuesday: Possibly BLTs and French Fries
I also have an enormous frozen turkey in the freezer, but I hesitate to cook it because I use a long, slow oven baking method and I don't want the house to be steaming hot or the air to run continuously while it's cooking. Besides a Thanksgiving dinner just doesn't sound all that appealing in August.
That's our mouth-watering fare for a while. Speaking of which, the bowl of grapes I had for lunch just isn't cutting it so I think I better go eat.

That sounds delicous:) We have already detoured from our at home meal plans for the week. I guess I should try making more exciting meals!
BTW...thank you for your comment!
It's not often one can make one's refrigerator contents into an enjoyable blog, but that's a testament to your excellent writing--and, I suppose, your healthy refrigerator contents!
We just had BLTs last night. If you have great tomatoes, now is the time to enjoy them. (And I totally agree about the turkey. But, as you said this week, life comes at you fast--T-Day is on the way....)
Visiting your blog today...and it looks like I picked a very "yummy" day to visit. Hey...do you have room at your table for a few more mouths?
I feel blessed I stopped by!
Love and prayers to you :)
Wow. If that is a menu made only from things on hand and on sale, then I'm going to come and eat at your house. May I bring the kids? Hey, since the kids will be there anyway, would you mind babysitting for a while after dinner so I can go do some shopping? I'll bring their sleeping bags in case it gets late. :)
Yummy! :) I'm having a "faux" class that is starting come join in the fun! Screaming Meme
