Menu Plan: March 7th

This week includes my meatless meals for Ash Wednesday and Friday... those will get some meat added to them for my husband and son.   WW Points Plus are noted when I know them. All of these recipes are new to us this week!

• MONDAY: foil pack taco chicken (8pts+), tossed salad with fat-free vinaigrette (0pts+)
• TUESDAY: Fat Tuesday!  Sharon's oatmeal pancakes (2pts+ each) and turkey sausage (4pts+)
• WEDNESDAY:  egg, cheese, and veggie breakfast burritos with salsa (pts+ will vary per person) 
• THURSDAY:  broccoli & sausage crustless quiche (5pts+), toast (1pt+), fresh fruit (0)
• FRIDAY:  grilled cheese (5pts+), tomato basil soup (2pts+) 
• SATURDAY:  homemade pizza & tossed salad   *This past Saturday I was running ragged and considered picking up a deli roasted chicken for supper while we were getting groceries.  My 7 year-old daughter was horrified... "But Mom, it's Saturday, you always make homemade pizza!"   LOL.  We compromised by buying a clearance deli pizza at the grocery store for $5.  ;)

Edited to add:  After looking over this post my husband has informed me that going seven days without any "dead cow" is too long for him...LOL!  (In truth, I did wonder if it was a little too breakfast-heavy for him when I was writing it up.)    Therefore, I will add in his requested hamburgers and/or steaks to switch out some of the planned meals this week.  ;)

RIP Grandma

My beloved Grandma passed away early Sunday morning.  

In many ways we had already lost her... the last few years had been hard on her.  She successfully fought Uterine Cancer, but her health was never good after those treatments were through.  These last couple of years she suffered from Parkinson's Disease with tremors and dementia, and she had mostly lost her voice.  She had loving care provided at a local nursing home.

That's not the Grandma I'll remember, though.  I'll remember the woman who used to crochet Barbie outfits so fast you couldn't even see her needles moving.  I'll remember the silly elephant cookie jar that was always full of homemade cookies.   I'll remember picking apples and watching her and my mom can vegetables from the biggest garden I've ever seen.  And I'll remember her devout Catholic faith and the big black rosary she had hanging in her kitchen. These, and so many more things... that's what I chose to remember. 

Revelation 14:13     Blessed are those who have died in the Lord;

let them rest from their labors for their good deeds go with them.
