Weekly Menu 12/25/17

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is over. I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and were surrounded by people that you love. Sometimes Christmas time is hard and I really love this quote to remind us that while we might go through tough times, we also go through really amazing times as well. So if you need a little reminder- here it is along with some highlights from Christmas…

How cool is it that my Grandma is able to be healthy and happy in her 90’s!!

Tuesday: 

Christmas leftovers- we were lucky enough to have some awesome leftovers including homemade Runzas, Lasagna, & ham (my son’s personal fav)

Wednesday:

Breakfast

Thursday:

Chili & cinnamon rolls

The basic Chili recipe I follow is:

• 2-3 lbs of meat this time I wanted to make extra so I used 2 lbs ground beef and 1 lb of ground pork (you can also use bison, bacon, or steak)
• 1/2 yellow onion & clove of garlic (diced)
• 2 cans of tomato sauce
• 1 can of tomatoes
• 2 cans of beans (I used chili & black beans)
• spices- a mixture of chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt & pepper.

Heat pan with olive oil & sauté diced onion and garlic

Add ground beef and pork until cooked through

Add beans, sauce, tomatoes, & spices

If you can,  put all in a crockpot and let it all cook together for several hours

Friday:

Cheesy Potato soup & Hot Ham & Cheese

Saturday:

Philly cheesesteak with buns or rice

Sunday:

Mini pizza bar & Root beer floats (It’s New Year’s Eve)

What’s on your menu for the week?

Thanks for stopping by!
