It has been quite a while since I posted here, it amazes me that I haven’t posted since July. Our lives have changed greatly since that time; you can read about the changes on my other blog. I’m hoping to get back into the groove of blogging on this and on My Simple Life.

A few weeks ago I went out of town with three of the girls, leaving Hannah and Rachel at home to run the house. Rachel planned a menu for every meal and had a great time doing all of the cooking. She also did a wonderful job cooking. I recently decided to let Lindsay and Rachel begin doing the menu planning, so that they could both get practice in what it takes to plan meals for a family of 7. I gave them some parameters to work within, and then let them do all of the planning. This is the menu that they came up with.

Monday: Crock-Pot Steak with Rice and Gravy

Tuesday: Chicken Pot Pie

Wednesday: Orange Chicken, Stir-Fry Veggies and Chinese Rice

Thursday: Red Beans and Rice, Garlic Bread

Friday: Bar-B-Que Pulled Pork Sandwiches, French Fries

Saturday: Bar-B-Que Pulled Pork over Baked Potatoes

For other great menu ideas, make sure that you drop by Laura’s blog.
