We’re having a few friends over today to watch football (Go Pats!) and I made a banana cake with cream cheese frosting. We can’t wait to dig into this cake!!!!
Confession: I did not make one thing on my menu last week. I think that might be a record. It was an unusually busy week and I never made it to the store, but this week should be better! I’ll only do a few repeats from last week. Maybe that menu was jinxed!
MONDAY:
– Cream of mushroom soup
– Crusty bread
TUESDAY:
– Island Pork with Sticky Coconut Rice
– Salad or veggie
WEDNESDAY:
– Kitchen Sink Quesadillas
– Guacamole and chips
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– Homemade pizza night (crust recipe, no-cook sauce recipe)
– Flavors: plain cheese, honey goat cheese with caramelized onions
SATURDAY:
– Takeout
SUNDAY:
– Sweet Korean BBQ Beef Tacos
