We went to the first Stanford football game of the season yesterday and they killed it, 52-17. Nate is uberexcited about this season…and us girls are just going along for the ride. I’ll admit, it’s fun stuff. Go Stanford!
As you can see, the Maynard girls like to wear their Stanford cardinal red…with a little bit of added flair. They turned more than a few heads at the game.
Okay, enough sports talk…time to plan a menu.
MONDAY:
- BBQ night…hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.
- Baked beans and hopefully I’ll find the watermelon of my dreams
TUESDAY:
- Red beans and rice (I know, I know! I still haven’t made this! It was just too darn hot last week, but this week is supposed to be perfect weather…AND I have all the ingredients on hand! The stars are aligning, I can feel it.)
- Corn bread
WEDNESDAY:
- Bean and cheese enchiladas (Cate’s preschool teacher made these for us this summer and they were AMAZING. Going to email her for the recipe right now!)
THURSDAY:
- Leftovers
FRIDAY:
- Stir fry
- Dumplings
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- Waffles
- Smoothies
Bring on the menus, folks! LOVE seeing them all each week! Every time another one goes up, it makes me smile.
