Menu Plan Monday - August 22, 2022

I have shifted a few of the meals from last week to this week due to our unplanned events last week. The horse accident needed an evening trip to the vet, so we had 10 pm pizza one night. Another evening, my wonderful mother in law brought us dinner. We ate really well last week and I did not mind altering the meal plan. Here's what I am planning to make for dinner this week

Monday 

Grilled steak with a garden salad

Tuesday 

Wednesday

Leftovers

Thursday 

Chili 

Friday 

Enchiladas

Saturday

Spaghetti Squash with Homemade Marinara 

Saturday

Shrimp Scampi. H-E-B sells premade cooking sauces and a friend was raving about the scampi sauce. I picked some up this week for an easy meal.

    Enchiladas sound good - I may have to add that to the menu. What kind do you typically make? We are usually a green sauce/chicken enchilada crowd, although my dad makes a delicious seafood enchilada.

      My enchiladas are always made from leftovers. I'll use the salsa verde pork made earlier in the week to stuff inside corn tortillas and then top with a green store bought enchilada sauce and a white cheese (Monterey jack usually). Another version I do is with American cheese and leftover chili. Grate American cheese and fill corn tortillas. Heat red enchilada sauce with some of the leftover chili and pour on top. Both recipes go into a 350° oven for about 20 - 25 minutes to melt the cheese.

Friday Favorites - June 27, 2025

  It's been a good 2 years since I've updated this blog! I enjoy reading everyone's Friday Favorites, but kinda lost my blogging mojo. It's time to jump back in. #1 Friends This week we had a fast trip up to Cordova, TN, to a mounted shooting competition. I'd reached out to Jenn earlier this week for recommendations for restaurants in the area and she invited me to coffee! What a fun visit! I absolutely loved visiting with her and she is the same in person as she is on her blog. She's so genuine and fun!  The shoot had 81 entries; we hung out with some old friends and met some new friends. My husband is in this photo with a fellow competitor he's known for over 20 years. Mounted shooting is such a small sport and we travel all over the country as competitions are far and few between. I would say we probably know or met someone from every single state and a few countries along the way.  Last night, our friends came over with their kids. We had fajitas, rice a...

Friday Favorites - June 23, 2023

Here's some of my favorites from the week. #1 Whoop Band I have a couple of friends that wear a Whoop band which is pretty much a health / fitness tracker but with tons more data. I've been wearing my Whoop for about a month now and using it to improve my overall health. It's helping me see where the problems are, where improvement is needed and measures overall health. These bands are worn by a lot of pro-golfers and athletes and digging into the data can help you analyze patterns so when there's a change in your norms it gives you a heads up. Some of the pro athletes noticed their respiratory rate and heart rate variability was out of their norm several days before being tested positive for COVID. Since I'm a data nerd this band has really been a favorite lately. Here's a screen shot of one day of mine; clearing improvement is needed! #2 Margaritas If you're local to the Victoria, TX, area, you have to try the margaritas at Hacienda Restaurant in front of ...

Hello Monday & Day in the Life - Weekend

Linking up with Hello Monday   and NJAM   for a two in one post. Recapping our weekend! Friday was Matt's birthday, so as soon as I got home for work, he opened his gift and then we met some friends for dinner at Gonzales Bistro. Talk about delicious! This is the third time we've been to this new restaurant and it never disappoints. Three of us had Alaskan halibut and one had salmon.  Saturday I spent more time working in the garden until it got super hot. We had a high of 92°F! I planted a few more pepper plants I picked up at HEB as well as some cucumber plants and seeds. I put up the trellis for the cucumbers and also decided to plant some luffa seeds and pole beans. Growing luffa and pole beans are new for me, so we'll see how it goes.  Saturday afternoon, Matt's parents were at home, so we invited them over for birthday cake. The birthday guy requested tres leches cake and it did not disappoint! I had a local bakery make it and they did a fantastic job...
