Hi everyone!
This was an exciting weekend for us as we added a new addition to the family!
Meet Milow:
We adopted 3 year old Milow from the rescue center here. He is such a good and mellow doggie. I think he’s going to fit in nicely. Anyone that knows me knows I’m not a dog person but this little guy has stolen my heart already.
So no menu highlight from last week sadly. I wasn’t feeling the love with any of my recipe selections…hopefully this week will be a better one 🙂
If you didn’t see already, Laura from Heavenly Homemakers has new fall menu planners ready to print off.
Okay so here’s what’s on our menu:
Monday: Grilled sirloin steak, baked potatoes and grilled veggies
Tuesday: Cinnamon-Apple Pork Chops
Wednesday: Hearty Minestrone Soup (slow cooker)
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: My son’s birthday! His pick: Lemon & Garlic Chicken Drumsticks served with french fries and gluten free, dairy free and egg free chocolate cake for dessert! (I’ll post recipe next week)
Saturday: Baked Ziti with Spinach and Sausage
Simple Supper Sunday
WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?
Menu Plan Monday guidelines and banner selections are here.

Cute puppy! I hope you find a winner meal this week. I always hate it when we have several days of so-so dinners in a row.

What a cutie! We love dogs, ours is almost 13 yrs old, sadly I don’t think it will be much longer that we have him around.
The Fall flavored pork chops sound yummy!
Thanks for hosting another great MPM!

Awww, welcome to Milow!! Cutie, he is.
We have the same meal planned for today! And a lot of other similar meals. I did the caramel apple pork chops this past week…my fav by far.
Have a great week

What a cute addition to your family!!
I’m back after totally missing my menu plan last week. Life without a plan is just too much – especially with the crazy schedule we have.
Have a great week!

What a cute dog! Is this the only pet you all have?
Thanks to you, our recipe highlight from last week was the Italian Sausage & Potato Roast. Before he was even finished eating, my husband said I should make it again. 🙂 So thanks again!

Corrie says
Welcome Milow!
Looks like Friday is a good day to have a birthday – my husband shares the date with your son (and my Gramma)! It was his pick too and of course, he selected his favourite… Barbecue Hamburgers! With chocolate cake, of course!
Have a great week and thanks for hosting!

Congratulations on the new puppy! What a wonderful addition to the family. The baked ziti looks great… I love her blog!
Hayley says
What a cute puppy! Looks a little like our bichon frise. I just heart cute little dogs. I wanted to let you know that after attempting 9 times, I posted my Menu Plan link, but it appears that you cannot click on it. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m going to leave it up….number 131. Maybe it just appears that way to me?? Who knows?? Just wanted to appologize if I had messed up for some reason. Will try to get it right next time! Enjoy your puppy!
Laura says
Hi Hayley, just wanted to let you know that your link works great, I was able to click on it no problem.
Have a great day 🙂
