This is week 42, which is the answer to everything? So it’s totally apropos that we are on a staycation and resting, which is the answer that we need, at least
We are now three weeks into the month-long planned menu and it’s going well. While I haven’t made all of the meals, I haven’t deviated to the point of additional purchases or wasted food. For example, one night we had fewer people home then I expected (blended family schedule changes) so we made nachos instead of the intended enchiladas. No one complained. I call that a win.
This week’s menu:
- Monday – Stuffed bell peppers, refried beans
- Tuesday – Caesar salad, blackened chicken
- Wednesday – Biscuits and sausage gravy (I may try to get this added to the site. It’s a family favorite and one I’ve taught all of our teens. We joke that it’s a struggle meal, but sometimes after a hard day all you can manage is a struggle meal and sometimes that’s all a budget will allow) we will also have fresh fruit
- Thursday – Clean Out Refrigerator Night
- Friday – Macaroni and Cheese, green beans, tossed salad
- Saturday – Street tacos
- Sunday – Chicken bog, cornbread
What are you having this week? Are you looking forward to anything in particular?

Please do get the recipe up for the biscuits with sausage gravy. Well, mainly for the gravy. I know how to make biscuits but I struggle, no pun intended, with making gravy. And this is one of my absolute favorite meals of all time.
