Weekly Menu, Sept 26

I bumped my menu a day so I'd be able to get it posted in time. Maybe not. Oh well, I will keep working to get this up on Sundays so the whole plan is ready. I literally just came home from the store and now there's a couple new things I need that I didn't realize. I'll get this figured out.

Tonight was exciting for this nerdy type-A gal. Quick back story...yesterday the kiddos and I went to my parents for dinner and my uncle was going to be there as well. He is a super fan of pie so I offered to make a couple pies for dessert. I made a cherry and an apple (all from my own canned produce) and had some extra crust dough. I figured I'd make a pumpkin but didn't have all the ingredients, or the time to make it happen. I stuck the extra crust in the fridge and took off for Grandma's house.

All day today I was thinking about what I could do with that crust. I didn't want it to go bad ( I HATE throwing foods away), but I didn't know what to do with it. At the same time I was trying to think of what to do for dinner tonight. If only I had a plan, ha ha! Suddenly it occurred to me...I have ALWAYS wanted to try making a chicken pot pie and just haven't done it. Bingo bango! I looked at a few recipes and settled on one from my grandmothers cookbook. It was quick, easy, and all natural ingredients that I currently had in my pantry. Yeah!

This meal was awesome! It was such a hit I need to post it so I remember what I did. And now I know you can keep a crust in the fridge over night and it still works great. Bonus! Love when things work out like that.

So, back to the menu...pretty straight forward this week. My daughter is on fall break so I have a helper for the week which means I need to keep things simple. She's going to help me make some ice cream cones out of pizzelli's (something I haven't done in a looooong time) and of course we'll see what other mischief we can get into.
