Monday 1/8........creamy pasta, bacon and peas
Tuesday 1/9........cheese fondue
Wednesday 1/10.pulled pork on cornbread waffle (new recipe, did not get a chance to do it last week)
Thursday 1/11....hamburger soup
Friday 1/12.........leftovers
Saturday 1/13.....meatloaf and brown butter mashed potatoes (been craving this and by Saturday,                                   chemo should have worn off and I probably can eat)

happy eating

million dollar dip

this stuff is so seriously good, addicting...we had forgotten how good it really is and I do not care for mayo based dips...you have to be careful around it, cause you will eat the whole bowl...

happy eating

weekly menu post 1/1/18 through 1/6/18 easy dinners

it's very hard to come home after a late day of chemo, and even though you do not feel like eating there are still family members that enjoy home cooking and Tim and I are trying very hard to not eat out. and since the cat died, we have done pretty well for ourselves...we have not had fast food at all...so no matter how bad I feel I like to have a home cooked meal and who knows it just might be the one day I can eat...I do have those although they are very few...most days, top ramen, saltines, and ginger ale are my best friends...

Monday 1/1.............beef stroganoff (Tim's favorite)
Tuesday 1/2.............leftovers
Wednesday 1/3........hamburger soup
Thursday 1/4...........pancakes and eggs
Friday 1/5................chicken and wild rice casserole
Saturday 1/6............pulled pork sandwich on cornbread waffle (*new recipe, cannot wait)

new hashbrown casserole, waffle cinnamon rolls

New Year's Day breakfast to watch the parade with..


.https://therecipecritic.com/2014/12/best-breakfast-casserole/, for some reason Tim was not thrilled with this...he said he was a little watery, so not sure what I would do different next time...everyone else said it was good...

to go along with this, I made cinnamon rolls in the waffle iron and these he did love...I bought the Pillsbury Grand Cinnabon Rolls...

here's to 2018, it has got to be better than last year for me

getting ready for week ahead

for my chemo, I do 2 weeks on and one week off...this has been my week off and been so nice, I feel almost human...ha, but it won't last...go back on Thursday...

so I used to use the weekend to get ready for meal planning by making things ahead, cause I would be going back to school...

now, I am getting ready for chemo...

here is what I did for the next 2 weeks...

....I already put a pan of baked penne in the freezer
....boiled eggs (egg salad sounds good)
....made 4 cups of rice
....cooked stew beef for stew
....made a small roast for sandwiches
....made pasta salad

this will help me a little, at least I hope
