I’m feeling much better today, and got a clean bill of health from my doctor this morning. I’m in housecleaning Hades now, though, so I thought you guys might like to take a look at what my menu is this week.

Monday: Runskis (I tried to find a recipe for this online, but failed. It’s a family recipe- basically a pastry/biscuit-like outside with a ground beef and cabbage filling. I also could be spelling this wrong.), green beans.

Tuesday: Chicken Pad Thai

Wednesday: Church night, we eat at my mom’s. Knowing my mom, we’re having chili.

Thursday: Mr. Ivy is off, so it’s Iron Chef night. I give him the “secret ingredient” and he cooks something fabulous up. The secret ingredient this week is zucchini. Don’t tell anyone.

Friday: Gazpacho and cucumber sandwiches

Saturday: Oven fried chicken fingers, french fries, mixed veggies

Sunday: Roast chicken, baked or sauteed garden veggies (whatever I find at the farmer’s market on Friday), mashed potatoes

Why yes, we DO eat a lot of chicken at Chez Ivy. Well, Home Eccers, what have you got that’s good to eat this week?

Can someone tell me what happened to June?  I swear I just glanced at the calendar and it was Memorial Day, now we’re gearing up for 4th of July. Last week’s grilled chuck roast turned into pot roast while on vacation, I didn’t want to use the communal grill for something more time consuming than your typical fare.

Tell me, Home Eccers, what is on the menu this week?

• Monday – Tomato pie, Caesar salad
• Tuesday  – Chicken bog, green beans, steamed broccoli
• Wednesday – C.O.R.N.*
• Thursday – Grilled pork chops (seasoning to be determined), grilled zucchini, cucumber and tomato salad.
• Friday – Happy 4th of July! Chili dogs, grilled corn, baked beans
• Saturday – Family pizza night (This week I’ll make a double batch of dough and a triple batch of sauce)
• Sunday – shrimp alfredo over fettucini, Seven layer salad

This week I will be picking strawberries and canning a year’s supply of strawberry jam.  If you decide to take on a big project, I highly recommend trying to bribe asking a friend if they want to get involved.  A partner can make even the most tedious task a more pleasant experience.
