Meals for today were:
Breakfast was toast as we were running out the door to church.
Lunch is our big meal on Sundays, we had overnight waffles with jam and it was so good.
Dinner is whatever you can find on Sundays. I made apple oatmeal bars and a big bowl of parmesan popcorn. Some of us at only that. And I make no excuses. So there.
Here is the menu for this week. I'm going to buy a chunk of black forest ham and I'll make it last for several meals.
Breakfasts:
- Homemade bread toasted
- oatmeal with berries
- muffins
- cereal
- leftovers
- yogurt with granola
- various bits and pieces
- Ham fried rice, fruit
- scalloped potatoes and ham, salad and/or veggies
- ham and bean soup with bread
- croquettes (we call these croquettes but they are really rice balls filled with mozzarella cheese and chunks of ham. The balls are rolled in bread crumbs and then either deep fried or, what I do, baked. The Italians call them arancini which means "little oranges" because they look a little like oranges when they are finished. Here's a recipe for arancini but I don't use the peas), fruit
- Funeral Potatoes (a scalloped potato type thing, I know, I know, two scalloped potato things in one week. I pointed this out to my family when they suggested it but they didn't care. Whatever, potatoes are cheap. Fish Mama posted an almost identical recipe this week. Check out her Cheesy Potatoes)
- Leftovers or pancakes
I'm excited for this week's menu - most of these recipes are family favorites and so everyone should be happy at the dinner table all week. Weeks like this make a momma proud.

Sounds like you are doing great! That bread does look good!
Man, I am so jealous! Buy nothing is always so hard for me. Can we get a recipe for that bread??
