Saturday

Grilled Chicken

Buttered Noodles

Green Beans

Father’s Day

Eat Dad’s favorites today, and in our house that means beef, plus a yummy dessert. 

Make extra potatoes for Wednesday night.

Grilled Steak

Baked Potatoes

I know it’s hot out and you don’t want your oven on for a long time, so you can start your potato in the microwave for 3-5 minutes to start the cooking process, but let it finish in a 350 degree oven and you’ll avoid the typical gummy taste of a nuked potato. 

Peas

Chocolate Banana Pudding

Mix one package chocolate pudding with sliced bananas and nilla wafers.  Sounds a little different and it is, but it is a good different. 

Monday

Beans

Put your beans on to soak the night before and then you can cook them in the crock pot all day.  If you don’t want you kitchen to get hot, you can move your crock pot to a table on the porch, as long as you don’t have a dog that will jump up and eat the meal when it starts to smell good. 

Cornbread

Jiffy Mix is my favorite, with just a ½ tsp of sugar added for goodness.

Cantaloupe

Tuesday

Chocolate Chip Pancakes (Bisquick are our favorites)

Sausage Links

Orange Slices

Wednesday

Grilled Caprese Panini’s

Layer tomato slices, fresh basil, mozzarella, a little leftover chicken or steak from the weekend, on a French or sourdough roll.  Place a pat of butter in a hot skillet and add sandwich.  Place a heavy skillet on top to create the ‘press’ factor if you don’t have a Panini press. 

Home Fries

Peaches (canned or fresh)

Thursday

Spaghetti

Salad

Strawberries & Yogurt  

Friday

Fish Sticks

Tater Tots

Broccoli
