Sorry folks. This week we are winging it! I have a very busy week ahead, so I didn't even attempt to plan a menu. Sunday we made pizzas (Friday we ended up going out to eat, so we saved the pizza making for Sunday) and Buffalo wings and yesterday we grilled steaks, had a tossed dalad and also pea & kidney bean salad. YUM! Tonight is the last class in the 13 wk course I've been taking so they are feeding us, tomorrow night I'll be teaching a class at the shop, Thurs. is our 15th anniversary so we'll go ut to eat, Friday...well, maybe I'll cook..who knows. Saturday, Kate will be babysitting so Gene and I are going to go out to eat, do some shopping, maybe a movie...at least that's our tentative plans. LOL I should be back on track next week! :)

Menu for Sat. April 18 - Fri. April 24th and a few recipes
Well, Kate and I are back from PA and Gene is home so it's time to get back on track with the meal planning.
Sat. 4/18 - Cheese ravioli, buttered carrots, garlic sticks
Sun. 4/19 - "Easter" dinner at Erin's house...I am making deviled eggs, sweet potato casserole and a dessert or two (so far I've made choc. chip cookie bars...I'm thinking some ice cream, choc., syrup and whipped cream for a nice sundae)
Mon. 4/20 - Chicken fajitas
Tues. 4/21 - Spaghetti & salad
Wed. 4/22 - Pork roast, mashed potatoes and peas
Thurs. 4/23 - Meatloaf, scalloped potatoes and steamed veggies
Fri. 4/24 - We're making pizzas
Sat. 4/25 - Gene and Kate are on their own. I'll be at a 12 hour crop.
I thought I'd share a few recipes. One is one of my favorite "frostings" for chocolate cake that my Grammy Carlin used to make and the other is for a tasty no bake pie that my mom makes...YUM!
Grammy Carlin's Chocolate Whip Frosting
1 cup cold milk
1 small box chocolate pudding (instant)
1 small container (10 - 12 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
Mix pudding and milk. Let thicken for about 10 minutes. Fold in Cool Whip until well mixed. Frost cooled chocolate cake. Store in refrigerator.
**This can also be used in a graham cracker crust as a no bake pie filling.
Cream Cheese Pie
1 - 8oz pkg softened cream cheese
1 pkg (4 servings) lemon instant pudding
1 cup cold milk
2 cups thawed Cool Whip + extra for on top of pie
1 graham cracker pie crust
*fresh raspberries (optional)
Beat cream cheese, pudding mix and milk in a large bowl until well blended. Gently stir in the Cool Whip. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours. Top with more Cool Whip. Add raspberries on top.
**This is also very good with chocolate pudding.
Enjoy!!
