Menu Plan Aug 14-20

I'm starting to meal plan again, it's helpful for my budget. It's somewhat tough to come up with ideas that both my son and I like. The things I like, he does not like and I don't usually eat carbs at dinner (part of my new "diet"). The menu is just an overall foundation some things may change like side veggies and I may substitute the carbs for myself.

Sunday~Steak and eggs
Monday~GF breaded chicken breasts with asparagus
Tuesday~Bangers and Mash and peas
Wednesday~Burgers and homemade fries
Thursday~Meatball Marinara
Friday~Salmon, spinach and wild rice
Saturday~Veggie pasta toss

Life without a microwave

My microwave conked out a few weeks ago. I thought it was going to be a hardship, but it's really been great. The only problem I encountered was popcorn!

Then my mother reminded me of the days before microwaves. She suggested popping kernels in a pot. I was like, why not!

1/2 cup of kernels, 3 tablespoons of oil and we have wonderful popcorn. My pot has a clear lid, so DS got a kick out of watching the kernels pop into popcorn. It was DEE---LICIOUS!
