Monday Menus
I realized that last month I spent way over budget for groceries, so I am tightening the reins a bit this month.
Eating through our pantry and going cheap! I try not to buy meat, since we bought 1/4 cow last fall, but I found stew meat marked way down yesterday when I ran in to just get 1 thing. I never come out with one thing! We are having beef tips to celebrate the great deal.
Monday
Beef tips
rice
strawberries
Tuesday- Joe gone
Chicken fried rice, made with leftover rice from last night.
I will probably have to make some chicken strips for the boys too!
fruit
Wednesday
French dip sandwiches in the crock pot. (obviously the meat is only made in the crock pot-ha!)
Recipe below
salad
Thursday
Kids meal, Joe and I have a dinner commitment
Grilled cheese and tomato soup
Friday
Soup in crock pot
Weekend in Fort Wayne balling it up!
French Dip in Crock pot
1 medium onion, sliced or chopped
3 lb Beef roast, it doesn't matter what cut.
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 bouillon cubes
1 can water or red wine or beer
1 can beef broth
Cook on high 5 hours or on low for 8-10 hours. This is usually more of a shredded beef sandwich, but the Au jus is yummy.
Serve with provolone cheese on toasted and buttered hougie buns.

Works for Me Wednesday
I spent last weekend at a youth retreat in Pennsylvania. Whew, I am still getting back into the groove after being gone on Monday too. Menus will start again next week. We are eating mostly freezer meals this week, which I love.
My Works For Me Wednesday today is no TV on weekdays for the kids. We don't have a huge home, so if one person is watching TV, it effects the whole family. There were always squabbles over what to watch, we don't have cable so the choices are limited. Kids being pokey in the morning. Homework was a battle at times too, with TV on in the background.
We tried time limits for each kid, waiting till homework was done etc. Nothing really worked well, and I was always the bad guy.
So, we just decided to just give TV up during the week. It worked wonderfully. There are no gray areas, its just off. They know on Friday after school they can watch TV. We are currently watching a lot of Antenna TV, Father Knows Best, Dennis the Menace etc. It's great!
We do allow for some exceptions. When someone is home sick, if the Colts are on Monday night football, when a storm is headed our way etc. Other than that, it's off.
Joe and I do watch TV after the kids go to bed some.
Our home is so much more peaceful now. Works for me!
