The chickies have been practicing softball for the past two weeks, but this is the first week of real games. We are lucky enough to be a part of the "DAC Dragons" franchise - coached by the two D's: Mr. Craver and Big D (aka as Mrs. S's hubby). They are both awesome coaches!
Monday - Some of my menu is a repeat from last week, as we didn't stick to our plan very well last week. Not sure what was up with that! LOL I am still lovin' Famous Dave's Country Roast Chicken. If you haven't made it yet, please do it!
Tuesday - The mini-chickies really loved the Oven-Fried Catfish that I've done a couple of times. I found some Garlic Oven Fries at the Purple Foodie that I think will be awesome with the fish. KK LOVES garlic and I'm sure she will be diggin' these. We have the "early" game and will be home by 6:30 - plenty of time to get this made! I will have everything ready to go.
Wednesday - I made the lentil filling from these tacos awhile back for a different recipe, but I think this week we'll go straight out tacos with them.
Thursday - CRAZY DAY of the week. We have the "late" game - but before that we have piano lessons. We will have about 20-30 minutes between piano and having to leave for the game.Do I have to tell ya what that means?!!?!? Yes, the crockpot! LOL I haven't used my cool shaped pasta from Garafolo, but I was thinking a nice baked ziti-type thing would be good. I'm just sorta gonna wing the recipe, marinara from the freezer, random cheese from the fridge, maybe some veggies - I think it will be a hit!
Friday - I was up late on Sunday night, watching TV when I should have been sleeping. I was getting tired, but then Throwdown with Bobby Flay came on. I know some people aren't huge Bobby Flay fans, but I think he is pretty entertaining and I like Throwdown because HE LOSES and he usually does it gracefully. So, I stayed up because it was an episode I'd never seen: Meatloaf! The competitors looked fantastic! I think I was actually sucked in by the scrumptious looking mushroom gravy - sadly the recipe for that is not with the meatloaf - but I'm gonna give it a try, with a few tweaks. I think I will use 1/2 ground turkey and 1/2 ground beef. I will probably just make my favorite red wine/mushroom gravy - but I tell ya, that stuff in the photo looks good enough to drink!
Saturday - It seems to kinda a be an "oven-fried" kinda week. I Think I'll make up a big batch of skinless oven-fried chicken legs. They are SS's favorite - she never even notices the skin is missing!
Sunday - I still haven't made Shelby's Longevity Noodles. :( They need to be made! I want them soooooooooo bad!

Chicky, your menus always sound SO good. Thanks for the link to those fries--they look delicious! Good luck with Little League!
Yum - lentil tacos!!
You are one busy lady!!! I don't know I could keep up with you....You inspire me but I still haven't found the energy to plan my menu! Maybe I can do that today when I get home from work. Sure would make dinner easier!
