Menu Plan Monday - November 8, 2010

The hubby taking a break from cooking in our San Diego kitchen.

I'm heading back in training, for work, this week. We're learning the latest software system. I'll be required to start my day at 5 am PST. This is going to require 2 cups of coffee.

Kiana never heard back from Payless Shoes after her 2nd interview. She was very disappointed. It would have been nice if they had given her a call or sent an email.

It's cooled down in Las Vegas to the low 60's. And it's brought the wind along just for laughs. After a hot summer we welcome the cooler temps.

Now onto this week's menu plan. Several recipes are from Mr. Food's Quick & Easy Diabetic Cooking.

Baked Ham, Green Beans, Carrots

Bottomless Chicken Potpie


Guilt-Free Beef Stroganoff with No-Yolk Egg Noodles, Mixed Green Salad

Port o Sub sandwiches, Macaroni Salad

Pinto Beans with Ham, Brown Rice

I Spent a Pleasant Afternoon with Our Teens

You think you have to wait till your kids are older to hear them say "I had a terrific upbringing."

Kiana, Marcus and I were hanging out this afternoon, chatting about Toby, summer camps and sporting events. It was great to see Marcus' face light up as he share many great times in San Diego.

Kiana also shared some of her younger years but focused more on her life since she moved in with us.

It's great to have a day like this to remind us that despite the financial challenges life is a blessing.
