Menu: 5 Weeks Till Summer!

That's right, baby - five more weeks.  And technically, if you don't count this week, it's only four.  Uh huh.
Sooo...this week's menu looks like this:
  • Tacos - Since buying our 1/8th of a cow, we are enjoying, fresh, lean, range-fed, hormone-free beef!  Throw in some taco seasoning and voila!  Delicious, quick, and easy. And, since I'm late getting this post up, I already made it and doubled the recipe for my husband's sister's family who is moving this week. I know when my kitchen is packed up, it's a pain to worry about dinner!
  • Ham and Cheese Rolls - Every time I ask my husband to pick a meal for the week, he picks this one.  It's loosely based on this recipe, but with ham and cheese instead of beef and cabbage.
  • Burgers & Fries - I will probably do potato wedges instead of fries.  If I do fries, I dig our fryer out of the basement and fry potatoes on the porch so my house doesn't stink like oil.  However, it's supposed to be stinking cold this week.  So I think I'll pass and just go for potato wedges.  I don't have a link for this recipe, but it's super easy and (assuming I remember), I'll post it.
  • Spaghetti - Quick and easy.  It will probably be our Wednesday night meal, and since I made soft bread sticks over the weekend, we have those in the freezer, too!
As we were eating our tacos last night, my husband's comment to me was that it is so much easier to eat at home when there is food.  :) Seems like an obvious statement, but it is SO TRUE.  Planning ahead, knowing exactly what meals I'm going to make each night and buying the stuff for them the weekend before really helps eliminate the temptation to go out to eat.
