Time for our weekly menu post. We've been a bit quiet this week. We just kinda needed to unwind and refocus as we change directions to our "off-season" schedule.
We processed our turkeys yesterday. Janice was able to purchase the curriculums for homeschool co-op, which starts Friday (if you or anyone you know may be interested, reach out to us with a message here or email Janice at [email protected]) so she has been going over those. Today was the last Sunday of our church's fall VBS. And we are getting ready to leave on a short camping trip tomorrow for some much-needed family time. As you can see, it's been a busy week (we were also doing our regular school schedule, etc).
Here is the menu for the week. It's a little different than normal due to the camping trip.....
Mon-hot dogs or rotiserie chicken (whichever Greg decides to cook over the fire)
Tue-the meal we didn't cook Monday
Wed-slow cooker roast by J1 (Greg will be bringing two of the kids back every morning that we're camping in order to milk the cow, check on the chicks and chickens, etc so this will be put in during that time while they're waiting for the milk to come out of the freezer)
Thur-chicken noodle soup by G2 (this is his absolute favorite meal and he has been BEGGING to make it)
Fri-beef schnitzel by J2 (probably with colcannon and sweet and sour red cabbage)
Sat-salmon patties by J3 (not sure on the sides yet)
Sun-homemade ramen by G1
J1 also made lots of yummy things for our camping trip over the last few days, including while everyone else was working on getting the turkeys to freezer camp (her tender heart struggles with the processing so she helps by keeping water boiling, we don't have a scalder yet, keeping us fed, etc.
She made....
hot dog buns
no-bake cookies
homemade maple syrup dark chocolates
4-ingredient chocolate banana cookies
artisin crackers
sourdough cheese crackers
sourdough discard crackers
puppy chow
buckeyes
pumpkin donuts (tomorrow's breakfast)
and mixed the dry ingredients to take with us for biscuits for breakfast for one of the days (we'll add butter and milk there)
Greg also made jerky earlier in the week to take.
We are getting to have so much delicious food this week.
We are so thankful to God that we are able to have this time to spend together. We all love camping and are really looking forward to it. But that means this page will also be a little quiet this week.
Have a blessed week!!
