Bamboo Sprouts

Menu Monday 1/14

Monday- Hosting my nieces 5th bday here.  She has requested chicken noodle soup of the CAMPBELLS variety.  LOL  My sister will also bring a pot of homemade for those of us who dont appreciate the campbells.  I am slaving away on another CASTLE cake.  :)   So its soup and grilled cheese and castle cake tonight.

Tuesday- Pork tenderloin in crock for sandwiches, sweet potatoe fries, apple sauce

Wednesday- mommy busy, daddy on his own with kiddos.  Could go out but think we are expecting snow so something easy like frozen pizza

Thursday- Mommy takes Sophie to dance class and we have hot date.  Ut oh!  Daddy on his own again.  Think I will put on a pot of autumn soup for them and a loaf of Rhodes fresh baked bread.

Autumn Soup Recipe- a can of tomato soup, a can of water, 1 can beef broth or beef boullion and more water, 1 lb of ground beef, some cubed up potatoes (or sweet potatoes) and carrots.  Some herbs.  This is a throw it all in the pot kind of soup and is a fave around here.  Yummy with fresh bread or cheese sandwiches.  Simmer for hours and enjoy.

Friday- taco salads

Saturday- out

Sunday- chicken and rice in crockpot
