Menus For a Couple of Days!

I love looking through all of my cookbooks, as well as my down-loaded and cut-out recipes over the weekend t put together a few nights of simple, healthy menus.  Sometimes I just put together menus for get-togethers and quick dinners with friends that haven't even been planned yet! 

This morning while FHFB and I were sitting out on our sauna back porch I decided to pull out my binder of recipes. 

FHFB was up earlier than I was, we've had a few very late nights recently, and he was very engrossed in his Sudoku book - Sodoku is something that I do not have the patience for. I'm good with a word find book if I'm trying to pass the time at an airport (when I've finished shopping in all the stores - do you love airport stores as much as I do?).

The other day I went through all of my recipes (not the cookbooks) just to organize them and see what I had.  Since I had never even made a few of the recipes, or they just didn't look so appetizing to me any longer, I threw out a few.  They were then organized in three-hole punched plastic protective pages in a binder in several categories:  Breakfast, Salads, Appetizers, Pasta, Vegetables, Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish and Desserts.  So, after that bit of organization, my task of finding the perfect recipes this morning was much more enjoyable and easier for me - and I am about enjoying what I do, even if it's writing out a grocery list or planning my next organizing chore. 

And sometimes I just don't feel like being organized in the least!

Here's the menu at Frog Hollow Farm for the next few nights.  I'm trying to get back to lots of veggies and away from meat for FHFB.

I'm really excited because I have a tablescape to post this week for Tablescape Thursday with Susan on her wonderful and beautifully inspiring blog called Between Naps on the Porch!!  I don't think Susan realizes how much her ideas have inspired me - and the bloggers that post on Tablescape Thursday are phenomenal.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and I really want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time from your very busy day to stop by my little blog and read my post. 

Knowing that I was going to be able to share my Frog Hollow Farm menus with you made the task ten times more enjoyable!! 

Ciao, bella!!
