Easy Weekly Family Dinner Menu / Meal Plan Week 2

This week in Mrs. Kane's Kitchen...

While I didn't get this posted as early as I had hoped to, here is the next installment of family dinner ideas. Here in Delaware, the weather is just on the edge of turning into full-blown Autumn, and I am trying to push it right over the edge with a few cool weather favorites mixed in with the standard weeknight fare.

Sunday

Homemade beef stew, a fresh French baguette, and blueberry coffee cake

Monday

Savory roasted chicken breasts, green beans, apple-sausage dressing, and dinner rolls

Tuesday

Grilled sliders served with thinly sliced red onions, shredded lettuce, pickles, and hand cut french fries. These fries are labor intensive, but oh-so-worth the effort!

Wednesday

~ Survivor Night!~

Thursday

Garlic and herb roasted pork loin served with the Pioneer Woman's Crash Potatoes

Friday

Chicago style grilled hot dogs, fresh fruit, and potato chips

Saturday

Soup and sandwiches

Romertopf Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make.

Romertopf White Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make! Clay pots or earthen-ware may be the oldest type of cookware ever found. In fact, they've been unearthed by archaeologists at historic sites all over the world! We know that these ancient civilizations put these clay pots in the glowing embers of fires, and used them to bake, roast, poach, and braise all sorts of meals. I admit that I'm new to clay pot cooking. My mother-in-law gave me a beautiful covered Romertopf roaster for Christmas and when I started learning about how to use it, all I could think about was bread . I make a lot of bread in my oven, but I was incredibly excited to try it in a clay pot! After all, I reasoned, this would have to be as close to an authentic brick oven as I was likely to get, and I couldn't wait to get started. The basic bread recipe, which was included with my cookware, was the first one I tried. Because you soak both pieces of the clay pot p

Pot Roast - the perfect one pot meal

Sunday night supper: Pot roast, and mashed potatoes and gravy Pot roast is a great choice for lazy Sundays when you want a special meal, but you don't want all the work. With just a little bit of prep in the morning, you can just pop this in the oven and cook it "low and slow" all day long. The end result is simply perfection. And best of all - nothing beats a good roast beef sandwich made with the leftovers. Click below to read more.

Homemade Antibacterial Lavender Surface Cleaner

Homemade cleaners are better for you, your family, the environment, and your pocketbook. This particular cleaner is perfect for just about all messes, and it's antibacterial too. The best part of all is how easy it is to make. Prior to this cleaner, I had been using a simple 1:1 mixture of vinegar and water, but I wasn't satisfied with it for a couple of reasons. The smell was awful, and it took a long time to dry - even after wiping it off with a towel. Armed with just a few common household ingredients, I created a spray cleaner that is perfect for surface cleansing. The ingredients kill bacteria, and the final product is superior to commercial cleaner (in my humble opinion). It smells GREAT too! Give it a try - and be sure to check back here and let me know how you made out!
