Time sure has a way of getting away from a person! I cannot believe it is the middle of October already! AND it has been over a week since I last posted. Boy am I a terrible blogger.
Well I did it! I have planned a Once A Month Cooking session with our church! Some ladies from the church have expressed an interest! I've made up the menu. I tried to vary the types of food in the ethnicity and the types of proteins! This month only concentrating on the main dishes. Later months we will try to add sides and desserts...and maybe even breads! I've got a ton of ideas to add more interest and to help instruct and growth and fellowship!
Here is the menu for this month:
Too Good Pork Chops; Oven Ready Souper burgers; Chicken Alfredo; Honey Lime chicken; Elegant Chicken in Marinade; Rainy Day Chicken with Rice; Marinated Flank Steak; Penne in Cream Sauce with Sausage; Hungry Man's Manicotti; Sour Cream Enchiladas; King Ranch Casserole; Chicken & Broccoli Lo Mein; Chicken Tetrazzini; Parmesan Steaks; Cashew Chicken; Meat loaf; Pepper Steak; Chicken Noodle Soup; Winter Pot Roast; Meal on the Run Pork Loin; Magnificent Casserole; Pizza Stromboli; Cranberry chuck Roast on the Grill; Burritos; Chicken Nuggets. Whew!
For our meal for the cooking day, I'm considering providing a freezer meal of pizza and pumpkin pie cake!
If you are interested in taking part in the cooking...give me a shout and I'll get a menu to you. I really truly hope to see you at our class!

October 5, 2011
This has been an exciting busy week at our humble abode. On the 24th was our Flatlanders Fall Festival, our version of Oktoberfest. (See my post from the 24th) The 25th also was my brother, Dennis, birthday. Only got to see him for a bit on Saturday so wished him happy early birthday there. Then I text him on Sunday. I love him. He is a good big brother. Ornery, but really good to our mom and to me!
Then Tuesday, the 27th, my kids took us out to eat for my birthday which is the 28th. Enjoyed spending time with 2 out of 3 of my kids and their other halves and 3 out of 4 of my grandkids. Good food and Good company. I then went home and made jalapeno poppers and brownies and took them to work with me on Wednesday, my actual birthday.
I received flowers from my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters. Hubby took me out for supper. He actually said the words "Happy birthday" that morning. He NEVER says that! EVER! Such a sweetheart I have.
Thursday was work, and then we kept the granddaughters as daughter had bible study and son-in-law had to go out of town for work. I made homemade potato soup and biscuits for supper. Then the girls thought they needed to have ice cream! Grandpa and Grandma can't tell them no! hehe
Friday was a chillaxin evening. We went out to eat...McDonald's,...I eat cheaply...just a cheeseburger patty and glass of water, so not like we are spending tons of money, but it was time alone just the two of us, can't get much better than that.
Saturday I spent the day with our other daughter and our grandson. Since they were unable to make it here for my birthday supper, this was their present to me. An entire day with them. We went shopping and just hung out! I must tell you all...I have the most adorable grandson in the universe. All my grandkids are the most adorable! Ryker just laughed and grinned and talked and slept! He is so silly! EAT...my gosh that boy eats more than grandma does! sure is fun to watch him devour his food. Thank goodness he is not a picky eater!
Sunday was church. We had potluck at the church, so I didn't have dinner at my house. First time in about 6 months, other than when we were out of town! I made a casserole to go to the potluck and one for a lady and her family from our church that had surgery. Then at the last minute I decided not to go to the potluck. I went home and enjoyed the quiet! Then I got lonely, called my oldest granddaughter, and took her out for ice cream as a reward for getting 100% on her spelling words. I just sat and listened to her talk. How enlightening that was! She is quite the conversationalist. Granted it is all one sided! hehe She told me all about school, her dogs, her sister, her friends, her wants. Even told me about her next birthday party (in June of 2012) Every time she'd change the subject she'd tell me "I love you Grandma! This is fun!" Awwww
Then Monday back to work! :( Wish I didn't have to work, but I sure do enjoy my job! It is interesting!
Today is Levi's birthday, our son. All the kids and grandkids are coming to our house for supper. Homemade lasagna, garlic bread, home canned green beans, and cake and ice cream. Tomorrow is Baleigh's birthday, our second oldest granddaughter. She will be 5. Goodness gracious...that is not possible. anyway, we will celebrate them both tonight!
Tomorrow night, after I get a massage, I will post the casserole I made this past weekend. Hopefully I can get this blogging thing organized enough that I can take pictures of my cooking and let you see what it is.
Oh yes...excited.....there is a "foodie Blog Roll" widget on the side bar!!!! they list my blog and then it can be found on the www. I've already gotten some hits and comments! Then also, scheduled our Once a month cooking group with our church for the 22nd. I have a lot of people interested. If everyone shows up....it will be full house! Talk about nervous! I am planning the menu and getting the shopping list ready and some other handouts! Excited AND nervous!
Please pray for me and this program and this blog!
Love to all
