THIS MONTH'S MENU

I thought it might be nice to list the recipes I use each month, not just so you can see what I am actually cooking, but to chronicle new recipes and what family favorite trends are for me. ;)

NEW Trial recipes are marked with **


OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2006

(since I'm starting in the middle of the month...)

Each recipe is doubled for the month, except for the Sunday ham.

  • Ham and Potatoes (leftover ham to be used in my freezer recipes and for split pea soup)
  • Hamburger Stroganoff
  • Grandma's Spaghetti and Meatballs
  • "Candy" Meatballs (...Really a version of BBQ meatballs, but 'candy' was more appealing to my kids when they were toddlers, and the name stuck. I use tomato soup and diced tomatoes in the sauce now to up the nutritional value. I also add celery, onions and carrots to my meatballs.)
  • Dad's Burgers
  • Cheeseburger Rice (again, I modified this to use less cheese and diced tomatoes, as well as tomato soup instead of catsup.)
  • Crockpot Lasagne - meatless
  • Crockpot Chili - new recipe from last month that the family LOVES
  • Cheesy Sausage Bake - my own concoction. I'll put the recipe up tonight!!
  • Calzones - I use a nice yeast bread recipe for the crust, and fill with hamburger, pepperoni, cheese and this time I am testing ham and pineapple.
  • Cashew Chicken - BEST MEAL EVER!!!! (At least, it's MY favorite!)
  • Chicken Tetrazzini
  • ** Chicken Divan - Chicken, Swiss cheese and broccoli. Sounds promising!
  • ** Chicken Chowmein - I love Asian food, so I really hope this works out well!
  • ** Crockpot Ham Augratin - New crockpot recipes will certainly help!

Still in the freezer:

  • Pork & Beans
  • Apricot Chicken
  • Stroganoff
  • Beef & Broccoli
  • Stuffed Shells
  • Dad's Burgers (for Monday night!)
