So my family loves pork tenderloin. It is already seasoned and tenderized. All I have to do is stick it in the oven and voila! In 30 minutes, I have a delicious protein and I didn’t even have to do anything to it. I love that. But normally, I wait until Food Lion puts their’s on sale BOGO. Then they are only $4 a piece. I can swing that. So when I was at Wal-Mart today, I noticed that they had their Smithfield Pork Tenderloins for $3.97. That was the recgular price so I bought 3 …

a teriyaki,

My family will be very happy tomorrow and I will have a quick dinner on days when I don’t get home until 6:30.

This Week’s Menu

Karen Weideman — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:26:44 +0000

Since we’re moving soon, we’ve been trying to use up our stockpile of groceries. Here’s this week’s menu:

Sunday – fellowship meal at church (Yummm!)

Monday – hamburgers, tomato casserole, fresh corn on the cob (free!), baked beans

Tuesday – ham (bogo!), mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits

Wednesday – roast, carrots, diced potatoes, rolls

Thursday – barbeque chicken, rice, vegetable

Friday – pizza at birthday party

Saturday – go out

Don’t forget – If you plan your meals, you’ll be more likely to cook and less likely to go out to eat.

What are you cooking this week?

Some days I feel like I need more inspiration for meal planning. Many days I don’t feel like tackling a time consuming meal or I don’t have the ingredients on hand to make what I want.

I came across Busy Family Meals today. It’s a new b5 Media blog in our Lifestyles Channel. I’ll be sure to stop by because I need some ideas for quick and healthy meals.

Welcome Busy Family Meals!
