Continuing on my quest to be a better wife and mommy by honing my skills in the kitchen. I have discovered a couple of things during my time cooking:
1. I really like cooking. It's time in the kitchen, just being by myself (for the most part). Sometimes, I do have a clingy toddler grabbing at my legs, but I still enjoy it. It's almost like a stress reliever. Why on earth did I stop cooking?
2. Coming up with a menu plan every two weeks has made me realize how few recipes I actually have. My Pinterest board is surprisingly lacking on recipes I actually want to make for dinner. Thinking maybe I should invest in actual real-life cookbooks.
3. Cooking in my kitchen makes me long for the day when we do our fabulous kitchen remodel. But more on that later....
Menu plan!
Monday--Roast beef/ham and cheese sandwiches (I've recently discovered the Pioneer Woman and I'm OBSESSED)
Tuesday--Bible Study. No dinner
Wednesday--Cheesy Taco Shell Pasta
Thursday--Mini Meatloves and Mashed Potato Cups
Friday--Manicotti
Saturday--Mini Meatball Sandwiches
Sunday--Ranch Chicken
Monday--Ham and pineapple pizza
Tuesday--Relay for Life meeting
Wednesday--Lasagna Roll Ups
Thursday--BBQ chicken sandwiches
I over-plan. I know that I'm not going to cook every single night. Things come up, I get tired, whatever. But whatever I don't use, I can stick in next week's menu plan and use the ingredients I purchased.
Enjoy your week all :)

Menu! Printables! Supper Clubbing!
As promised, this week's "Super Messy Supper Club" menu:
Monday-- Rotel Chicken Skillet
Tuesday-- Ranch Chicken (Combine 3/4 cup crushed cornflakes. 3/4 cup parmesan cheese. 1 packet of hidden valley ranch dressing mix. Dip 8 chicken halves in melted butter and then roll in cornflake mix. Place in greased 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 for 45 min)
Wednesday-- Forgotten Chicken
Thursday-- Baked Fajitas
Friday-Sunday, I'll be in Gatlinburg for my cousin's bachelorette party, so Marty and Avery are on their own. :)
And since we know that you should menu plan before you go shopping for all your dinner ingredients, I've made up your very own "Super Messy Supper Club" menu and grocery list planner for you to save to your computer and print off any time you make your weekly menu and shop accordingly. Happy menu planning. :)
