• We are so looking forward to the long holiday weekend.  Saturday was filled with errands such as menu planning and grocery shopping.   Of course we had our weekly stop at the library.  Sunday will bring church and hubby and I are going out on a date to celebrate our anniversary.  Monday I will hopefully spend time outside, doing a bit of laundry and reading.   I just started the book Water for Elepants and want to finish it this weekend. 

  Thanks to Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday. Go and check out more great menus!   Menu planning will help you have more time with your family and enjoy your summer.

  *The ribs are very easy to do– just place boneless country spare ribs in the crockpot with salt and pepper (no liquid) and cook on low all day. Then, about an hour before you want to eat, drain all the fat and liquid out of the crockpot, and add in your favorite BBQ sauce. (We like a store brand thick and spicy sauce.) Simmer another hour on low, then enjoy! -

  Recipes to try…

  Fried Strawberry Pies

  Chicken Fajita Salad

  Grilled Stuffed Hot Dogs – Cookie Salad

  Chicken and Mushrooms with Lemon White Wine Sauce

  Eask Chicken Enchiladas

  Chicken Brocolli Casserole

  Tuna Noodle Casserole

  Chicken Burritos.

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • hot sauce to taste

  This is a delicious and easy burrito/taco filling—it freezes well, too! I serve this with tortillas, shredded Cheddar cheese and little sour cream. You can also assemble the burritos and put them in a baking dish, cover with salsa and cheese, and bake for about 10 minutes.
