The Menu for the week

Monday

Sliced Eastern NC BBQ Pork Road I have one of those small crock pots and so since it is just the two of us, I use it a lot.  I brown a small pork roast and place in the pot. Then, fill the pot with apple cider vinegar (covering about 1/2 of the roast), 2 tablespoons catsup, 1 tablespoon A-1 sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 5-6 drops of Tabasco  and a tablespoon of black pepper.  Cook in the crock pot for about 8 hours.  Then slice or chop your pork and pour your favorite bbq sauce over it.

Macaroni & Cheese

Sautéed green beans

Peach Pie  In an 8” pie pan, melt 3/4 stick of butter.  Place sliced peaches in the butter.  In another bowl, add 3/4 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk (for peach pie just a drop of almond flavoring).  Mix well and pour over peaches.  Bake in a 35o degree oven for about 45 minutes.

Tuesday

Baked Fried Chicken Thighs This is about as easy as it gets:  For the two of us, I take about a half sleeve of buttery crackers and make fine crumbs.  Sometimes, I add Italian seasonings – sometimes I don’t add a thing—Your choice.  Take thighs (or any piece you prefer) and coat with crumbs.  Place on a foil lined and sprayed with Pam  pan.  Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for about 45 minutes.  You can drizzle olive oil over the top if you would like.  Easy and crunchy chicken!!!

Lunch with friends so, clean out the refrigerator for supper. Sometimes we do cheese and crackers after a big Sunday lunch.  A fun thing is to have hot pepper jelly on our cream cheese!  Yummy.  I made a lot this summer so we have a great supply.

Dick’s favorite vegetable is broccoli so you will see a lot of broccoli in my menus.  He also loves corn--
In the pea salad, the original version had cauliflower---so please put that in if you wish. 

I am going to try to linky to StoneGable’s Menu Monday.  This will be the first time I have tried to do this.  Well, not the first because I have failed miserably in the past to accomplish this…….But, I love Yvonne’s blog.  Please if this doesn’t work, check her blog out.  I have her little thingy on the side and the link above should work---so I am going to try it.  Cross your fingers!
