Well, it's been a week and I haven't done anything about my oven yet. I need to dig out my warranty and call GE. Even if the part I broke isn't covered they can at least tell me if the ignitor is the right part that I need to get. In the mean time, Cassandra from Tripping around the Sun told me that I could get a timer, like the ones that you'd use for Christmas lights, to put on my crock pot so that my food doesn't over cook. What a great way to make your own smart pot! I bought one for $5 from Walmart and I put two crock pot meals on the menu this week. Friday's menu is one I need to put in the oven, but I think it will fit in one of my smaller casserole dishes and I can throw it in the big 'ol toaster oven. Have I mentioned I love my toaster oven. Well I do. Just thought I'd announce that. On to the menu.

 

Monday
Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup

Tuesday
Easy Slow Cooker French Dip
Tater Tots

Wednesday
2nd chance Meals

Thursday
Slow Cooker Chicken Dinner

Friday
Chicken & Spinach Pasta Bake

I can't believe I didn't post at all last week. I'll have to make up for it this week. I have pictures of Connor's preschool fieldtrip, his graduation, an almost finished crocheted dress, and a recipe for last week's Cola BBQ Pork Chops. Speaking of those pork chops, they were pretty good. I think I added a little too much cola, so they were a bit watery, but they were still really good. The Raising Cane's sauce was pretty good too, but I had to add more mayo for that one. We are having the Chicken and Spinach Pasta Bake tonight because we got a little behind in our meals, but from the smell of it I think it will be awesome!

This week, I am looking forward to Pioneer Woman's Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs. I didn't have the "Morton's Hot Salt" so I'm going to use the Zataran's seasoning that I bought for the Cane's Sauce. I also just realized that I forgot the lemon juice so I guess I'll have to make another trip to the grocery. Okay, on to the menu:

Monday
Pot Pie Night

Tuesday
Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs
Mashed Potatoes with Pan Gravy
Mixed Greens

Wednesday
2nd Chance Meals

Thursday
Kielbasa, peppers and onion sandwiches
Crispy Tater Tots

Friday
Pizza Pasta Casserole
Salad
Three Cheese Toast

Temperatures are now in the triple digits. According to weather.com tommorrow's high will be 105 degrees. I didn't feel like going to the grocery store so Monday's night's meal is just from my stock on hand. I also didn't feel like cooking tonight so hooray that there is an In-N-Out close by. I can usually feed everybody for under $15 but I got two shakes tonight and it was a little over $16. Not bad for 4 people, even if two of them share a burger. I love the secret menu too. I only want my burgers animal style now. Sometimes I get the fries animal style too. When I was pregnant with the girl I had diabetes so I would order my burger protein style and my sugars didn't seem to be affected that much by it. We got our fries well-done tonight. I didn't like In-N-Out fries before I discovered them well-done and animal style. I also learned that you can order a neopolitan shake where they layer the vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors in the cup. I wish I would have remembered today because I would have tried. Well, this has been an exciting post hasn't it? On to the menu:

Monday:
Tri-Color Rotini with Meat Marinra Sauce
Salad with Ranch Dressing
Three Cheese Toast

Tuesday:
Country Style Chicken
Mixed Greens
Mashed Potatoes

Wednesday:
Teriyaki Pork Chops
Vegetable Chowmein

Thursday:
Leftovers

Friday:
Island Kielbasa in a slowcooker
Green Beans
Dessert: Butter Pecan Cake with Vanilla Frosting
