June 18 – 24, 2017 Meal Plan
This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.
I have started trying to do easier meals on days that I have square dancing obligations. This helps me to be able to put a nice meal on the table without feeling guilty about having some much needed ‘Mommy Time’. Some of these meals may also help with those that have busy or irregular schedules due to work or extracurricular activities.
I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

++I have a few kids who seem to be going through growth spurts right now and are always HUNGRY. I have been keeping a pot of beans, blackeyed peas, or other vegetable as a side. I also have been buying a few extra snacks like fruit, veggies, yogurt, etc.
Hot Dog Cookies
This was another recipe that I made for the Chili Dog Dangle Dance that we had on June 9th for the Silver Fox Squares. These were probably the most talked-about cookies that night! I will definitely be making them again and probably tweaking the method a little bit more.
The kids had a lot of fun with these and I did too. I think I may try using shortbread dough if I can find it, the next time. I may also experiment with a couple of homemade cookie doughs until I can find one that I am really happy with.
I did find this idea on Pinterest and you can click here for the original recipe. (I found the Hot Dog Stand on Amazon.) Continue reading “Hot Dog Cookies”
April 2 – April 8, 2017 Meal Plan
Things have been a little crazy around here. We have had a lot of Square Dancing stuff going on plus the usual housekeeping tasks and homeschool, of course. It’s been a juggling act to say the least but we are keeping it together and enjoying the ride. This is one of those weeks that I am especially grateful that I have been doing our meal plans ahead of time. (I am typing this out on Sunday, March 26 as I already know this will be a crazy week.)
