Menu Plan Monday(on Tuesday!)


Monday - Red Beans and Rice with Andouille sausage(an Ole creation)

Tuesday - Honey glazed chicken

Wednesday - Burrito bar

Thursday - Linguine and clam sauce(sauce from freezer)

Friday - Out!

From this point on, I will only mention main courses and sides(if noteworthy in my opinion). A vegetable, fresh fruit, spinach and/or lettuce salad, and whole grain bread are generally offered with dinner.

Also, we do eat on weekends, but that is generally when Ole gets creative in the kitchen. All his recipes seem to be in his noggin, so it is rather hard to put here. With the main purpose being organization, and the week days being the most hectic, Monday through Friday meals are those that I care to focus on.

Oatmeal, Pecan, Chocolate Chip Cookies



I made these cookies last night after looking through last December's Cooking Light mag. They are quite tasty and I will definitely make them again. Of course they were made extra tasty by using BoCoMo grown pecans!
