I wanted to start off on the right foot with a quick and easy menu for the week. The kids are on school vacation, and I am on Winter Break from Dartmouth . Sydney has a basketball tournament this week, and we've decided to ring in the New Year right here at home.
Breakfasts will consist of regular fare most days: cold cereal and milk, toast/english muffins, scrambled eggs, oatmeal. New Years Day will have a "fancier" brunch feel: eggs, bacon, cinnamon buns, fresh fruit and Raspberry Jubilee.
Lunches will also be simple and based on what the kids requested: sandwiches (PB&J, grilled cheese, leftover Christmas ham), soup, quesadillas, fresh fruit, chips/crackers, string cheese. We may also go to Friendly's at some point this week as a "treat".
Dinners (in no particular order):
- leftover ribs and steak, ham, au gratin potatoes and/or popcorn chicken and rice, fresh veggies
- spaghetti and meatballs, salad, garlic bread
- Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin, mashed potatoes, veggies
- some sort of chicken breast perhaps crockpot brown sugar chicken, sliced oven potatoes, veggies
- chili, cornbread, salad
- New Years Eve = take out (likely chinese, maybe pizza)
- leftover buffet or fantastic appetizer buffet
- cookies
- chocolate pecan pie
- Sydney's favorite salsa dip (mix together 1 block softened lite cream cheese + 1/3 of a jar of salsa - we like Green Mountain Gringo)
- snack mix
- Cheeseburger Beer Dip
- cocktail weiners wrapped in bacon (cook under broiler)
2 more things to say about this:
So glad you're trying out our Cheeseburger Beer Dip...it happens to be a favorite party dip of mine! Thanks for the link and I hope you enjoy it =) Happy New Year!
That sounds great. I can't wait to read more! New follower from MBC.
