Menu Monday! Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor day everyone!! I hope everyone has power, and is done with Hurricane Irene clean-up! We had no power for 3.5 days. We ran out of propane and had candle light dinners.Our cell phones. house phones and all power was lost. Even though I had power to my laptop (3 hour battery) I had no Internet to connect to. It was fun, if nothing else it was a mini vacation from the computer for me. I play waaaaaaaaaaaay too many facebook games.lol.
We cooked on the grill almost every meal. we had scrambled eggs, hamburgs, lipton sides, anything that we could figure out how to cook (and use up before they spoiled), we cooked. I now know that if we ever get lost in the wilderness, my hubby will be a good cook (hopefully we have food...lol). He was so cute cooking by flashlight, and we played board games every night. :) It was definitely nice to just chill out. I did miss talking to my mom tho, and the kiddos. My mom came to visit us.... that made me smile :)

On to meal plan Monday:
We lost a lot of freezer stuff, my sister gave me half her freezer (luckily her n the kiddos didn't lose power. neither did my brother,,, Thank God, because he has a 6 month old beautiful baby :)

Monday: bagel for lunch, and I want to try a Rachel Ray recipe for dinner. I like Rachel Ray. We met her in person, and I have a signed cookbook from her!. I do have to say that I was skeptical o her 30 minute meals because a lot of her recipes call for chopped ingredients, which takes time. However I have about 7 of her cookbooks (bought at a book sale for $1 a piece), and I wanted to give it a try, It is in the oven now. I made Sicilian stuffed eggplant. (I took out a few items, to lessen the spice.). More to come after we eat :). My hubby hand picked the eggplant at a local farm, and they cost $5.
Tues: will be at sister's for lunch/dinner. My hubby is going to add sauce to the "guts" of the eggplant recipe, and have eggplant spaghetti for lunch/dinner.
Wed: have meetings all day.we will catch something on the road. We will probably use our Subway gift Card.
Thurs: I am going to be involved in a political debate, and probably won't eat all day due to nerves. lol so toast and eggs for lunch, and a late supper of leftovers.
Fri: at my Sister's all day getting ready for tag sale. Grilled Cheese for lunch and pizza for dinner.
Sat: sandwiches and chicken for dinner! Tag Sale day!

Menu Monday

My sister has vacation this week, so us three sisters will probably be together every day with the kiddos. When us three get together the husbands love it! Mostly because we clean out each others pantries and make a bunch of stuff. Tonight we had a Digiorno Pizza, potato skins and buffalo chicken(the mom's house). Sunday we had chicken in the crock pot with a pasta slow cooker packet, homemade broccoli soup(fresh broccoli, and pumpkin soup (my house)... which was all really good. Tomorrow night is yet to be determined. lol. Plus my mom made almond cookies from scratch that now our husbands want us to make this week. Hopefully we can have a freezer day. I would love to spend 1 day just making stuff to freeze.
So I will not do a menu plan this week, only because I know that it will change. lol.

There is a great deal at target right now Worth the venus razors, and there are a lot of rebates right now. We have been shopping (3 sisters, and an after the holiday sale??? lol we couldn't resist) and hopefully I will be able to post tomorrow. Happy Shopping all! (the deals are listed in the blogs I follow as well... if you wanna get a peak ).
