Monday menus #68

I decided that my side of the family was woefully under-represented in the family photo album.  After all, we aren't just Cannary.  We are the combination of several families.


So I printed pics of my father (age 18), my mother (age 45ish)..


...my grandparents (in their 80's), and Mom and Jim (in their 60's), as well as a few more pics that I have found here and there.  And I think I will put captions under all of the photos when I get them into the family album.  Because my kids have no idea who these people are.


Monday - kitchen closed {for real - I am TIRED}
Tuesday - Ravioli with Turkey Bolognese, broccoli {laundry up, work on photo album, water in the new lantana, on call}
Wednesday - Spicy Honey Beans with Sausage*, garlic toast {clean carpets, make some muffins, work on a small keys project, on call}
Thursday - Mexican Pork Enchiladas**, corn, rice {mulch the backyard landscaping, rake and weed, lay in my lawn chair}
Friday - Pan Fried Tilapia, Trader Joe's Garlicky Pasta, spinach {weekend food prep, buy groceries, pay bills, mail a box to my nephew}
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed
Dessert this week is brown butter chocolate chip cookies***

*canned spicy roasted chipotle style beans, a bit of honey, some chopped onion and bell pepper, and the rest of the kielbasa
**I cooked a pork shoulder in the crockpot for tacos previously, and have plenty of meat leftover.  I made a rub for the meat with chili powder, cumin, garlic, smoked paprika, and brown sugar, then squeezed a lime over it and cooked it on low all day.  I'll use my homemade enchilada sauce.
***I'm cheating and using a mix, but I will brown the butter, and maybe add chopped walnuts.
