Menu Monday – I’ve been busy

Heather says,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. If you visit the site itself, you may notice some changes. I switched to a more mobile friendly menu which should make reading on phones a bit easier. I also finally, after 8 years, found a real solution to my how do I organize the recipes in a way that makes sense problem. It’s a large project as it takes a lot of manual tweaking on the back-end –tee hee– of the website, but it’s definitely worth the time.

When you click through to the new recipe indexes, if you see a lot of images of the book’s cover, those are just image placeholders. I’ve also started project re-photograph all the things. Over the next few weeks you’ll see a lot more of these and fewer book covers.

 

What will you be having for dinner this week?

Monday – Pork Chops, Green Beans, Cabbage, Apples, and Onion
Tuesday – Chicken Curry, Curried Okra
Wednesday – out
Thursday – Chicken fingers, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy,  Roasted Broccoli
Friday – Fish Tacos, Cabbage Slaw, Mexican Street Fair Corn
Saturday – Two Bean Tamale Pie, Chopped Salads
Sunday – Roast Chicken, Roasted Vegetables, Rice and Peas

This list is pretty ambitious, but Ray and I have been working on a system to get recipes photographed and on the table in a reasonable amount of time. If I have to put in over-time at work, that will take precedence.

Once I have the recipes that already exist on Home-Ec101 re-photographed, my plan is to focus on budget menus and tutorials explaining various cooking skills and how learning these skills allows a home cook to expand on the recipes they already know.

My eldest has found Chopped on Netflix, I’m hoping he finds Good Eats soon. (If he discovers it on its own, it’s cool, if I introduce it, the show must be terrible.) Kids.

Have a great week, tip your servers, and try the veal.
