Weekly menus, thank you Mother Nature!

With the Super Snow storm we had last week, I get to repeat two of my dinner menus- one client was nice enough to call and tell me not to bother coming in. However, the other one wasn't so generous. The day after the storm and since I'm a gimp ( I still have the pain in the back), it took my husband literally hours to get the path made as you see in the picture below. That path- that is in our driveway- never got the other path made. Instead, we kinda flagged down a truck that had a plow in the front. That truck- that's another story! It took the truck 3 hours to plow our small driveway....



This is what the weather looked like as the storm began. This is the weather I drove in to get to one client. Not bad, right? But the winds were up to 70mph and it came in all different directions.






This is the wide path down our driveway- not wide enough for a car....
Getting back to today's post, it's a good day to make up menus- I should get a head start on next week!
This week's menus are as follows: I don't usually note a dessert because I'm always looking for something quick in the event I don't have enough time on that particular day. Today, I'm going to make fresh fruit over vanilla yogurt and Apple Pudding Cake with Cinnamon-Butter Sauce. i don't know where I got the recipe- it looks like it came from one of those small books you'd see while standing in the check out aisle. As I read through the ingredients, I see it calls for Gold Medal Flour- so I think this is from a Gold medal Flour magazine/cookbook.

Ah, the question marks! That means I'm not sure what I'll make . I have to say one of my favorite sites for finding something quick is called The Mixing Bowl. You join, add recipes, share recipes; there are groups within Mixing Bowl that you can join, i.e. College Cooking or Apples, Cooking with Passion or Girls Get Together, Dishes, ( people post pics of some of their favorite dishes)My 'Go-To' Recipes or The Spice Rack. In fact, I was just going to post a cookbook that I have had for years. i don't even know if The Spice islands Cookbook is made anymore. Computers are the best thing if you never have to worry about Internet service. But someone posted this site for more information on what spices to use for what foods:lancaster.unl.edu/food/ciqspice.htm
I'm thankful i have time today to sit and blog as it has been quite awhile. The weather is lending itself to doing something indoors today- kinda grey and as I write this, big fluffy snowflakes are falling!
Here is a link to The Mixing Bowl- check it out. I think it's fun! www. Mixingbowl.com
