recipes and dinner club news and general eats from Casa de Blundell
As I’ve mentioned before, the nights Laurie is out and about are always a bummer — but they also give me a chance to “experiment” with new recipes and meals.
(Which I’m sure Laurie’s happy about that — she doesn’t have to pretend she likes whatever it is I’m experimenting with :-).)

Last week we were pretty far off when it came to sticking to our menu. Various things came up in the evening that changed our plans — but we still managed to avoid eating out the majority of the week.
So, without further rambling — here’s our weekly menu for this week..

Setting our our weekly menu in advance has been a God-send this year. Sure it takes a little time on the weekend (or Monday morning) but it saves us so much time later in the week trying to figure out what to cook. It’s also helping us save money because we’re less likely to get frustrated, give up and go out to eat when nothing comes to mind.
So here’s this week’s menu…
Monday Dinner
Spaghetti
Tuesday Dinner
Flautas and beans
Wednesday Dinner
Crockpot Chicken Tacos
Thursday Dinner
Meatballs and Rice
Friday Dinner
Beef Lasagna (prepackaged mix)
Saturday Dinner:

Use this as a challenge to come up with your own menu and then share it with the rest of us.
A day late and it looks like this week will be fairly light on leftovers (which means bring on the sandwiches for lunch). We expect to be getting home later than normal on Tuesday night for sure – thus the quick and easy corn dogs.
Monday Dinner

Tuesday Dinner
Corny Dogs
Wednesday Dinner
Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes
Thursday Dinner
