I hope you enjoy this family as much as I do. I watch them daily and get a huge kick from it every day they post to Youtube.
And as far as meal planning goes, well, I plan, I change my mind, I open a can of soup. Life goes on.
What was planned:
1.Soup and cornbread
2. Turkey sandwiches, coleslaw
3. Chicken broccoli casserole, spinach salad
4. Philly cheesesteak casserole, tossed salad
5. Chili, cornbread, coleslaw
6. Hamburger patty, baked sweet potato, green beans
7. Veggie meal to be decided later. (I am just not feeling it right now)
What we ate instead :
Monday: Minestrone soup
Tuesday: Sausage and sautéed cabbage
Wednesday: Sneaky Pete's hot dogs
Thursday: Turkey sandwich Goodbye Thanksgiving!
Friday: Tacos and fixings
Saturday: Hot and Sour soup
Sunday: Beef stew, cornbread
It was cold (at least cold to us) and we don't do cold well so soups and stews reigned supreme.
What might happen:
1. Aldi red bag chicken sandwiches, coleslaw
2. Chicken and broccoli casserole, carrots
3. Hamburger patty, green beans, rice
4. Takeout
5. Asian stir fry
6. Soup and sandwich
7. Chili, coleslaw, cornbread
Day 7 Christmas sighting: This is the other end of the buffet. It has another small tree, sans lights or decorations. (This may or may not change after the chandelier is fixed) The vase holds three poinsettias made from the sheet music to the song Jingle Bells. Instead of bracts the center of each flower is three small jingle bells. The rest is just candles and fillers, but the tree does have a small gift wrapped beneath it. Now I need to get everything else finished because I have just about run out of sightings that are completed.
Can't believe it's already time for your menu planning post, this month is flying by! Love your Christmas sighting today, looking forward to more :)
ReplyDeleteTime is fleeting!
DeleteOh, I loved the video - the little girl takes the prize for her antics and the entire family are talented.
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting poinsettias! Did you make these yourself? The extra light from the candles evokes Christmas for me too.
Take care, stay well!
I wish I had made them but I bought them about 5 years ago.
DeleteThat was a fun video. That little girl is a trip. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't she fabulous! They are part of my regular Youtube viewing!
DeleteAnd here I've been saying how warm it is around here for December. I've had to take my gloves off on walks! The buffet looks very pretty-classy and festive.
ReplyDeleteWe just do not do cold well and here what ww call cold you might call spring
DeleteLoving your decorations.
ReplyDeleteAnd at least you plan - even if some of them don't quite eventuate.
DeleteI do plan but a lot of times my plans get kicked to the curb!
Oh, what a great video!
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas sightings, too. The paper flowers with sheet music is such a great idea!
Ah, yes, meal planning! That's what I forgot to do, today! Oops!
I love watching that family perform!
DeleteThat family is great. I hope the little girl grows up to be as fearless and joyful as she is now.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
