Monthly Menu September 2020

 

I noticed there is a large blemish on one of the apples. Oh well, this is real life! Wow, it has been four years since I have posted a monthly menu for September. I've probably been too depressed to bother since my kids have been out of high school! Wow, so much more has changed. My older son has moved to a new apartment in Connecticut and works full time and is rocking adult life. My daughter is MARRIED! and started TEACHING SCHOOL! in Utah. And my younger son (who will turn 22 at the end of this month!) is starting his junior year of college. In Utah. All are away from me. Sob! Ooh, it's been a tough adjustment, but it is getting easier. Man, I love my kids; they are the best people. So, now I will plan meals for me and my hubby, but it's still exciting to be September because I love autumn! Although it doesn't really become autumn in Georgia until November, lol. I'm not complaining, because I also love the extra long summer - leaves stay on the trees longer, fresh summer produce is available longer, and we don't really have winter, usually. Not complaining! Onto menu planning:

01 Tue Grilled kielbasa, corn on the cob, leftover potato salad, macaroni salad (store bought), leftover beans.

02 Wed Slow Cooker Chicken Breasts With Gravy, mashed potatoes, carrots, green beans

03 Thu Garden Harvest Minestrone, cornbread 

04 Fri Fried Rice, egg rolls

Monthly Menu September 2016

I was looking back at prior September menus (some were very small!) and now I am reflecting on how much our family life has changed. September was the start of tons of activities along with school and the crazy schedules between sports, scouts, seminary, and school. 

Not anymore. One sone is working full time, has a girlfriend, and is hardly ever home. My daughter is living in New Caledonia serving a mission for our church and won't be home until May or June of next year. Then she will be going away to college again in the fall. My next oldest son is away at college, he isn't far away so he breezes in and out, but usually when we are all busy with other things so we don't see him much either. And my baby, my youngest son has graduated high school and is working and trying to keep himself busy with friends (and Netflix...) until he leaves for a mission. We don't know where or when yet, but we should be finding out by tomorrow!

Anyway, life is getting simpler at the day-by-day level. There are some big things happening, but dinner is usually at home with more frequent trips to a local restaurant and less fast food (except for Chinese...). I appreciate the slower pace, but the changes are bittersweet until I get used to my new life.

Monthly Menu - September

September is a great month! The beginning of school is exciting, at least in this house, and it is apple month! There is not much better in life than a crisp, tangy, fresh apple. Finally, it is time to think about autumn and all of its goodness, my favorite season. Really it is the best of both worlds, we can still get farm fresh corn on the cob, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, but we can also get those delicious apples.

One thing about school starting is that all of the other activities start also, which means my menu choices have to fit to our schedule. My oldest goes to work for 5 pm, and the other two have cross country practice until 5 pm. My husband comes home from work LATE, sometimes as late as 8 pm, so we eat in shifts. My goal is to have dinner ready and in the oven when I pick up the boys after practice, we will see how that goes. On top of that they have youth group on Wednesday nights and Boy Scouts on Thursday nights, and once we get to mid September, meets will be on Tuesdays. They are after school but last longer than practice, especially the away meets because they have to travel. Every Saturday there is at least one person who has an event to attend, and somewhere in there I have to schedule a family birthday party for two of my boys. And I thought life would slow down a little with my daughter in college!

01  Mon  Happy Labor Day! It is leftovers in this house, namely pasta. Some of it is from Boston's north end in the Italian section. Delicious, homemade, and very hearty. One of the advantages of having a daughter going to college in that area!

02  Tue  The first day of school! My boys have cross country practice 5 - 6:30, most inconvenient for a mom trying to make dinner. Baked pork tenderloin (no grilling, supposed to rain), mashed potatoes, green beans, watermelon.

03  Wed  rice and beans for the adults, quesedillas, watermelon, and carrot sticks for the rest

04  Thu  chili, rice, broccoli and tomato salad

05  Fri  bacon pizza bake, rice and beans for adults
