Plans? What Plans? Oh, and Menu Plan Monday

So, I had plans this weekend, but plans were made to be broken, right? (Or is that 'rules' are made to be broken?) I'm wondering if I can get through two weeks without someone getting sick in our casa. The baby came down with a nasty cough, little fever that didn't last too long thankfully, runny nose, you know...the whole bit. Sleepless nights. This evening she seemed to be bouncing back. I could be bummed that all our plans for the weekend were nixed, but I have to admit that it was nice having the hubby home to help. Spending time together is always a blessing, even if sickness is in the air. Now, if only my hubby had tomorrow off like most of the country....

One of the things I was 'planning' on doing over the weekend was posting the fabulous giveaway I'm doing next, but I'm saving that for TOMORROW now. You'll want to tell all your friends about it...they'll be happy and just may take you out to lunch if they win. ;-)

Oh yeah, and about last Friday's random sale...I'm going to try to find more random items for the future since a lot of you got a kick out of that! ;-)

This week, my slow cooker is working on over-time!!

Monday: Easy Creamy Pork Tenderloin - Slow Cooker - I add 1 can cream of mushroom, 1 can cream of potato, baby carrots, chopped celery and cubed red potatoes. I season the pork with garlic.
Tuesday: Leftovers from Monday
Wednesday: Fish Chowder II - SOOOO good! (not slow cooker) I add flour to thicken the base and also ad celery, parsley and carrot slices. I'm going to freeze the extra for lunches or dinners.
Thursday: Slow Cooker Dump and Go Cheesy Chicken (pictured to the right) - I'll post this recipe on Slow Cooking Thursday - I add 1 can cream of chicken.
Friday: Cranberry-Chipotle Turkey - Fabulous and easy slow cooker recipe! One of our family faves!

My plans to finish the guest room!!

Jess said...

That one where I plan to shave my legs everyday and I NEVER do lol.

Huse Yo Mama said...

I was thinking of doing a crock pot week, too. But I gave up last night. That's a plan that keeps getting broken.

Although, I'd have to agree with Nerdy Jess - those darn legs never get the attention they should get!

Everyone loves a sale - thanks for the links! The recipes look delicious too. I always have plans to ORGANIZE everything really well - and there never seems to be time to do it. Maybe that should have been my resolution this year!

Holly said...

I hope your little feels better by now! That's too bad.

I'd love to come over on Friday! That cranberry chipotle turkey sounds so interesting!

Did you read Toddler Wise? Just wondering. I read Baby Wise so I wonder if the sequel is as riveting. ;)
