On the menu this week....

I don't think this will really interest anyone, but I thought this would be the best place for me to plan out menus with website links. My mom and Mr. Tom are going on vacation this week, so I actually have to cook and plan menus. So here's my ideas for the week:

Monday: Tomato Basil Soup

Tuesday: Green Beans and Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf --I will put them in a cupcake pan for individual meatloafs. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/bacon-cheeseburger-meatloaf-recipe/index.html

Wednesday: Taco Salad

Lunch ideas

Maggie starts school in about a week and a half. This is the first year that she will be taking her lunch to school everyday. I need help!

She is not a huge fan of sandwiches. So, I need some creative ideas about what to fix for lunch. My mom used to put soup and spaghetti in my Strawberry Shortcake thermos, so we bought a cute short thermos for hot foods.

What are some things that are good for lunch? I'm trying to get it organized before school starts.

Strawberry Shortcake

Memaw bought Maggie some strawberry plants.

They hung them in a hanging basket in April.

This morning, I noticed that we have one ripe strawberry in the basket.

Maggie picked it after she got home from school.

She loved it. She was amazed that she planted it and it grew to a real strawberry

How does your garden grow?

 

 

 

 

Sandy came over in April and helped me plant our first vegetable garden. We had so much fun and guess what? The VEGETABLES GREW!!
