This peach jam is taunting me this morning. Begging to be eaten. But I can’t. It’s not ready. Word of advice: when you make jam that needs to sit for 24 hours before eating, make it in the MORNING so that the next morning you can actually eat it…in the MORNING. Mmmmm….doesn’t it look good? It’s got to be ready, right? Walk away, Jane. Just walk away.
I’m going to do a little post tomorrow about jam. Make sure to check in. Until then…let’s plan a menu, shall we?
MONDAY:
- Spaghetti
TUESDAY:
- Red beans and rice (I KNOW. It’s been on the menu for 3 weeks. I haven’t been to a normal grocery store in those 3 weeks to get the ingredients I need…but I WILL be making it this week!)
- Cornbread (so many of you planned cornbread type foods last week, now I’m craving it)
WEDNESDAY:
- Homemade pizza (this is what Cate requests every week!)
THURSDAY:
- Leftovers
FRIDAY:
- Eat out
SATURDAY:
- I feel like grilling hot dogs and hamburgers…it is Labor Day weekend, seems like a fitting end to the summer
- Corn on the cob and baked beans
SUNDAY:
- Tacos
Bring it on! Show us what your menu’s got!

continuing everyone getting a cooking night – week one was a success!
Eric just left to go out of town for work for the next couple of days. I always hate cooking when he’s gone it just isn’t as fun without someone to share it with (or rather, someone who actually appreciates). I’m going to take things pretty easy for the next couple days.
Garden Vegetable Omelet for me, muffins or pancakes with fruit and yogurt for the kids.
A big gigantic green salad with grilled chicken, possibly a “Mexican” grilled chicken salad if I remember to buy some tortilla chips which I previously forgot when I bought all the ingredients to make green salsa. DUH.
Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Balsamic Onions and Mushrooms http://www.goodlifeeats.com/2009/01/finally.html
And after 3 days of being alone with the kids, I think a date night is definitely deserved.
