Menu Mondays

I'm currently working on moving my blog over to Wordpress -- any advice or tips?
Blogger is blocked at my workplace, which makes it a pain to give co-workers recipes. Wordpress, however, is not blocked, so I'm thinking of switching camps....

Tuesday: Crockpot French Dip sandwiches, chips, salad
Wednesday: cheddar brauts on the grill, baked beans
Thursday: Crockpot French Dip leftovers
Friday: marinated grilled chicken, green beans, wild rice medley

Menu Monday and Upcomings...

Whew! I feel like I've been in a whirlwind here lately! Between work, the gym, and physical therapy for a running injury, I'm lucky to eat dinner, let alone make anything new for it!

Somehow, we're still trying new recipes, though. We've had a few delicious ones, and a few duds...that's generally how it goes in our house.

I've got some posts from previous week's recipes to post yet, as well as a non-food (Rain-X Windshield wipers) giveaway to post...if I could only find the time. I know I'm mostly a food blog, but I loves me some car-accessories as well -- thus the wipers. And let me tell you --- they're freaking amazing.

Monday: steak, steamed broccoli, pasta

Tuesday: ranch parmesan chicken, mashed potatoes, steamed green beans

Wednesday: orange-apricot pork chops (crockpot meal), rice, corn

Pretty non-descript week this week, as I will be spending every waking moment at home preparing for my grandma, mom, and mom's boyfriend to visit me in my new house for the first time!

No clue what I'll be feeding them -- so those updates will probably come later.
