Okay, so it got warm again. Some good football weather though! I’ll hold off on my soup recipes for just a little longer.  Beyond soup, here are my menu suggestions based upon what’s on sale this week.

Main Dishes 

• Pulled Pork – These sandwiches are regulars on my menu.  It’s just so easy and it’s great for people to ‘customize’ their own sandwiches – some can use spicy BBQ sauce on top.  Some can use sweet BBQ sauce.  Some can use buffalo sauce.  It’s even good plain!
• Crispy Onion Chicken – Got some fried onions?  Got some chicken?  You already have 2 out of the 3 ingredients needed for these chicken breasts.
• Sausage Lasagna Rolls – Another one of my favorites.  It makes wonderful leftovers too.
• Beef Enchiladas – Tortillas and beans are on sale, this would be a good week to make these.
• Chicken Tetrazzini – I haven’t tried this one, but it has chicken. It has spaghetti. It has freezer instructions.  Sounds like something that I could really get behind.  Reminds me of this Chicken Spaghetti, but a little easier.This isn’t a main side, but most of the ingredients for Cheesy Hashbrowns are on sale – this is one of my favorites!  I can eat this every single day!My husband does not like tuna.  Just doesn’t care for it.  I’m not a big tuna eater, but I have great memories from childhood of when my mom would make tuna noodle casserole.  I really liked it – even as a kid!  So, I made some last week, just for me and the kids.  They loved it too – the little one (11 months old) made a mess when eating it, but he makes a mess all the time anyway!Here’s the version that I make.  It’s different than most recipes I’ve found in that it doesn’t include cheese.  If you’re a cheese person, add in a cup of cheese.  I also don’t like an official “crust” on it made with breadcrumbs.  Maybe that’s just because my mom never did it that way?  Anyway…this makes a 9×9 pan, which was perfect for my needs, but if your family is larger than mine, it easily doubles for a 9×13 pan.  I know that tuna noodle doesn’t make for a pretty picture, but it does make for a comfort meal!
