Cheery Tuesday!!!

Happy Tuesday to everyone! I'm off for the afternoon, enjoying some me time with a nice class of wine and checking out my fellow bloggers. My favorites are posted on my site if you want to check them out. I found a new blog today called "Forever Cottage", go to http://forevercottage.blogspot.com to check it out.

I've decided to give my blog a purpose. I love to cook, as some of you know; and I am a busy working woman. I plan a menu for the week and shop by this also. My menu's are for Supper only. So, I thought I'd post my weekly menu's to share with you. I usually do only one week at a time. It's easier for me and we may change our mind about what we want to eat. We; being my hubby and I. He also likes to cook and help me plan. Also, we don't always cook on Tuesday what is on the menu. We may change it around and have the Fish Tacos on Wednesday! There is no set rule here! This is only to make it easier to figure out what to make. So, you have your list, you shop by the list, and it's all in your kitchen pantry to make for the week. Easy! So...here is our menu for the week. I realize it's Tuesday, but...hey...I'll try to post them on Sundays, when I make them up!

Monday: Roast with potatoes & carrots
Yorkshire Pudding
Ice Tea

Tuesday: Leftovers

Wednesday: Meatloaf
Yellow Squash;steamed
Salad
Ice Tea

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Talapia (cooked on stove or in the oven)
Baked potatoes
Salad
Ice Tea

Saturday: Fish Tacos wtth all the trimmings
Avocado
Tomatoes
Cheese
Onion
Lemon (to squeeze on your tacos)


My recipes are basic from either Southern Living Cookbooks or Betty Crocker.

My fish, I cook in a skillet with olive oil, or butter and lemon juice. I salt and pepper them and also use a little garlic powder, and chili powder (small amount).
Just cook until they are flakey. Usually about 10-15 minutes each side should do depending on the size.

If you have never tried fish tacos, they are absolutely delicious!

Enjoy!
