Tuesday Tidbits and Menu Plan

Tuesday is my day to remember all the cute and funny things my kids have said and done lately!

Dylan:

While driving the other day, Dylan informed me, "Boys like hanging out and girls like laying in bed...you know, they like reading and doing dishes."

Lexie:

She calls wheat thins "wheat fins."

A recent conversation with her: "Hey Mom, let's talk about bones."

She calls a telescope a skeletope.

The other day, she started coughing. She told me, "I have the cough-ee's, too!

********************

Our Menu Plan for the week (a day late):

Monday: Steak, Parsley Potatoes, Steamed Cauliflower/Broccoli/Carrots
Tuesday: Sweet and Sour Chicken over rice
Wednesday: Grilled Cheese and Cream of Tomato Soup
Thursday: Goulash over egg noodles
Friday: Dinner with my parents
Saturday: Stuffed Peppers, Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Green Beans
Sunday: Pork Chops, Rice, and Broccoli

Recipe of the week: Creamed Green Beans

Frozen or Fresh Green Beans
Milk
Butter
Flour

1. Steam green beans, then transfer to a pan.
2. Pour in about a half cup of milk.
3. Mix in 1-2 TBS of butter.
4. Cook on medium until sauce starts bubbling.
5. Stir in 1-2 TBS of flour (enough to make the sauce thicken). Cook 1 more minute, then serve.

  2. Oh my gosh. I love "skeletope." That is so cute.

    I hope you corrected Dylan and told him that girls definitely DO NOT like to do dishes and that a good man would do them for the woman! LOL
