This menu plan required very little planning

We trekked over to the Poppins residence for the weekend, where we played several games of Settlers of Catan; helped my sister-in-law clean out her basement; went to Ikea; and ate at Steak-n-Shake. I hadn’t eaten at Steak-n-Shake since a bit before Pete was born, mostly because the last time I ate there did not end well (see: “before Pete was born”) but also because there isn’t one anywhere near us. I love Catan, Ikea and Steak-n-Shake. It was a nice weekend.

(I also love my sister-in-law and her family, so I took pictures of a few of them for that 25 Portraits thing on my Mighty List. I’ve only posted one of them so far, though.)

This week in dinner! We’re only eating two dinners at home this week, and they’re both from the Tupelo Honey Cafe cookbook. We tried the Tupelo Honey Chicken Sandwich last week, and it was phenomenal. I trust that everything we’re trying this week will be as well.

Monday: Chicken-apple meatloaf

Rockford will be getting home late tonight, but I’m going to make this and try to get the kids to eat it anyway. Cross your fingers for me.

Tuesday: Dinner with strangers

I’m still trying to get to know people at our church, so I asked around to find members who live on our side of town. And I found some! And then they invited us over for dinner. I’m a little nervous about it.

Wednesday: Root beer glazed pork tenderloin

This is another new one. The recipe looks super easy; I’m hoping it will be mind-bogglingly delicious.

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner

… and I’m not cooking it! It’s another dinner with friends. But these ones I already know, so there’s nothing to be nervous about.

Friday: Dinner with the in-laws

I don’t know what it’ll be, but I know it’ll be good.
