A lot of people were confused about the weekly menu I posted. Why didn’t I ever include recipes for all those meals?  For a couple of reasons actually.
First off, the menu was designed to give you an idea of some things that you could cook for the week. They were pretty basic menu ideas that didn’t require a lot of time. Secondly, I am not a chef. I just like to cook. The items were just something that you could throw together or get a recipe from a cookbook in your cupboard, your mom, or from online. They were menu items that I make (a lot) and we eat- pretty normal food….
You will still see the “menu” as a feature on BFC; it just isn’t going to be a highlight. It will be posted on the sidebar. I hope this lessens the confusion, but still gives those that need it, some help and guidance to quick, easy, and budget friendly meals.

So If I am like most of you, I can’t believe June is coming to a close!  I better start planning some vacations or quick get-aways for this summer!  Enjoy the menu!

Monday: Pork roast with mashed potatoes and corn
Tuesday: Grilled pizzas
Wednesday: BBQ chicken with coleslaw

I love looking back through my recipe books and finding some great old “classics” that I haven’t made in a while. How up to date is your recipe book?

Tuesday: Jumbo Stuffed Shells with garlic bread and salad
Wednesday: Chopped Steak with mashed potatoes and salad

Happy June everyone!  Just think, your kids are going to be getting out of school (if they have not already), the days will be getting longer (and warmer), and you will have more time to create fun, healthy, budget friendly meals.  Ok, so maybe life isn’t always this perfect- but why not invite your kids into the kitchen and let them help you with dinner?!  This is what we are cooking up this week.

Monday: Lasagna
Tuesday: Baked Cod
Wednesday: Minestrone Soup
Thursday: BLT Sandwiches
Friday: Spicy Chicken Wings
