Weeks 2, 3,4
Ok, I am a little behind. I think week two was Thanksgiving, week three I made and dipped chocolates with my sisters so that was my main diet and here we are to week four.
I think that one of the weeks I was suppose to tell a little about me. I am lucky enough to be Shelly's mom. I love to cook and bake even if the last few weeks have been a little lean around here as far as meals. I think this blog is a great idea and even though I have not been a giver I have enjoyed taking from all of you.
I have six children, five boys and Shelly and they have produced the most beautiful and amazing grandchildren on the face of the earth. I may be a little bias but I do speak the truth.
We just got back from serving an 18 month mission in Hungary. It was fun to learn to cook there with what they had like a two feet by one foot oven. We enjoyed cooking for the Elders that we served with.
I love to fix all the Christmas traditional foods and I really love to eat them. I promise that I will do better in the future.
Here is my menu for Week Four
Monday - tacos ( furnished by the daughters-in- law)
Tuesday ? (we will be in Hagerman, Idaho celebrating our oldest grandson's b-day) I am guessing cake will be part of the menu.
Wednesday- graham cracker pork chops and garlic yams
Thurday - soup at Shelly's
Friday - ward party where we are having french dipped sandwiches with a 1/4 pound on beef on each bun. ( I am in charge of putting on the meat and the RS president asked if she needed to bring her scale, I told her I could eyeball it.)
Saturday - we are eating at a fast food joint on our way to the Utah State/UVU basketball game
Sunday - ham and funeral potatoes, tossed salad and rolls

My mother used to smash the porkchops into graham cracker crumbs that were finely crushed and bake them. I  love them with garlic yams or banana squash. For the yams I just cut them in fairly large pieces and then boil them in water until they are almost tender. Cool and peel and cute in one to two inch chucks. put in greased baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and minced garlic. My mouth is watering as I type.

Now you can see why I haven't posted as I would need to do a menu to post a menu.
