Weekly Menu, 11/1- 11/7

I've been awfully lazy about making & posting menues lately! And it makes it so much harder to get dinner on the table when I don't already know what we're having - and that I have all I need to make it ready in the pantry & fridge. So I really need a swift kick in the behind to get me posting menus again! What are you guys having this week? Trying any new recipes?

Sunday: (Zac @ work) Pulled pork, green peas

........ can you tell that I totally go lazy on the days Hubby's on shift!!?? I love to cook - but I also like to feel like the food was appreciated & frankly, the kids don't care if I spent 2 hours on a hand-battered, pan-fried, basted-in-homemade-sauce, then-finally-baked sweet & sour chicken or if I pop some frozen, machine battered meat into the toaster oven for 15-18 minutes at 350 so..... you can obviously see which one I choose!!! LOL

This is my first menu posting so I figured I should explain a few things. My hubby works a rotating schedule and misses dinners with us regularly. When it's just me & the little mouths I go fairly simple. Hubby also works with the Boy Scouts so every Wednesday evening we need a fairly easy dinner. I also coach baseball so on the nights we have games I try to either go for a crock pot meal or something that comes together with nearly no evening effort! Ready? Here we go..... I'll be sure to take pictures so I can shre the recipes in the coming days/weeks!
