Last week I didn't post a menu plan, because I had to go out of town on business. I literally did not make a single meal in its entirety for my family. I was so blessed, because my parents took care of Little Miss and Roo so that the men could stay here and do baseball. K-man's parents came to watch baseball and then to watch the girls for a day. His mom made the men a couple of good meals, which meant leftovers only needed to be re-heated.
This week, it is back to normal, though. And I am thankful for that. I really missed getting to cook for my kids. I am also very thankful because K-man is now ABD (all but dissertation), which hopefully means more family dinners.
Last night, I wanted to use up the rest of the leftover ham from K-man's mom, so I made biscuits. They turned out pretty poorly. I think I ended up adding too much flour (because the dough was just REALLY sticky), which also meant I worked the dough too hard. The kids liked them okay. K-man barely choked down two.
Little Man was supposed to have a make-up baseball game tonight, but due to the predicted weather it was cancelled again. He has practice (or maybe the make-up game) on Thursday night and a game on Friday night. All that to say that I only have three items on our menu plan this week:
Crusty Oven-Fried Chicken (Southern Living 1979) [Very good; I'll post later]
Green Enchilada Casserole (Southern Living 1979)
Asian Glazed Chicken (but I'm thinking I might bake this instead of doing the slow cooker, just because of timing...)

This week sounds yummy! Making biscuits is definitely an art. I always found, however, that lots of melted butter would fix any biscuit problem!
