Calixto leaves for Mexico this week-due to various reasons we have decided that the kids and I will stay home. He'll leave on Thur. morning with a team from Grace Comm church in Glen Rose. Our menu will be quite simplified (and kid-fied!) for most of this week and all of the next. It is hard to be motivated to "cook" while my husband is gone but, I will try to be somewhat nutritious with meals...we'll see how that works out. I'm trying just to use up what we have in house, so the menu is kind of boring and I have no links for recipes either...

Monday: Spaghetti (or whatever pasta is in the cabinet) and meatballs

Tuesday: Chicken-a-la-king over biscuits (we never got to this from last week)

Wednesday: Grilled chicken, baked potatoes, green beans

Thursday: Ham, mac n' cheese, fruit

Friday: hamburgers, chips

Saturday: homemade pizza

extras: pound cake-for Calixto, snickerdoodles-for the kids

Have a great week!
