back on topic-we are having BBQ pork sandwiches with the leftover pork tenderloin from the other night.
That sounds good! :) Can I come over?

I am NOT in the mood to cook- and to boot I just took hamburger out of the freezer... I swear I should just NOT plan to make the omlet and if I do- great! This way I won't feel like I'm dissing this poor recipe because I've been trying to make it all week but just keep changing my mind.

I think I'm going to make cheese and bacon stuffed burgers...
 
actually, now DH is cooking his own BBQ sandwich! I have decided to go to church with my Mom tonight and both kids are asleep in the living room, so I am sneaking out in a minute...I just shared dinner plans with him and he said "I can do that!"

He could get it right at the Menards in Holland - we got some there just last week!;)
 
I did find it and took a ride down to Mt. Washington Beer and Wine and picked some up, so I am going to have a orange soda with my veggie pizza and make rootbeer floats for dessert~ yum yum :)

That is a perfect meal! (It's what we are having too - except we are out of Orange Soda - so just Root Beer.)

You are going to LOVE the Orange Dream......oh, so good!
 
Right now I am still unsure of what to do for dinner. I am thinking of making one of the power cooking meals and freezing the others.
 
DH is grilling steaks and we're having sweet potatoes and broccoli for sides. Dessert is mint chocolate chip ice cream from Turkey Hill (local) - the best min chocolate chip ice cream EVER!! ;)
 
Hey, I was just at Menards about 1/2 hour ago. ;)
I didn't get Sprecher though...we have it in the grocery store here too, but of course I live in Wisconsin! :)I think we're having burgers on the grill (again) - it's about once a week lately, but hey, cheap, easy and with grass fed cow meat, it's REALLY good.

Have you ever heard of Graeter's ice cream? They have the most divine mint choc chip, you can order online, but Graeters is a cincy/family based company. It is DH fav and he just sold a house with another realtor who is part of that family and she was so thankful to get the house sold, she promised him tons of free ice cream, can't beat that!!! I eat weight watchers mint choc chip and it is so not the same :( darn diet
 
DH BarBQed hot dogs for supper :yuck: because I had 2 shows today - so he wanted something quick and easy........I'll make spaghetti and garlic bread tomorrow (a REAL meal - lol)
 
Ok, so DH had burgers on the grill - Mom and I had the deluxe burger salad (no cheese) and the kids had hotdogs.
 
We ended up having cereal. It was funny because we all sat down together like we were going to have a feast and then ended up with lonely bowls in front of us! I just couldn't face spaghetti again.

Going grocery shopping tomorrow so I'm excited to get something different!
