Monday Meal Plans - First Time



Okay Since I said I wanted to go through my cooking journey as well as my life journey on this blog, Might as well start the cooking part now. Boy, am I starting on an easy week. On MPM, I've decided to only post dinners, because the daughter is in school most of the time, and I am working and usually jusdt make a quick sandwich for lunch. (FYI) Links will be put on the food items when I make them, so you can get the recipe. So here goes!!!

Monday: Cheesy Mexican Chicken (Slow Cooker)

Tuesday: Meatloaf (Nana's Recipe)  Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Wednesday: First Thanksgiving Dinner

Thursday: Second Thanksgiving Dinner

Friday: Black Friday Shopping, Probably Fast Food

Saturday: The Daughter will be at her dad's so probably left overs for me

Sunday: Third Thanksgiving Dinner

Day 6: Favorite Super Hero and why?

I think my favorite Super Hero is Batman. But not Michael Keaton, or Val Kilmer, or even George Clooney batman. But the new Batman, the christian bale batman. I like how Dark the newer movies are. I feel like the older movies made light of crazies that are Batman's enemies. I feel like if you are going to spin a tale of murder, crime, and intrigue...do it well. Joker want this jokester who just happened to be a criminal... He was a lunatic who knew nothing of insanity. Two face want just another ugly face, he was a white hat, who got screwed over one to many times. And Batman he isn't just a man whore vigilante.... He was a scared kid, who finally decided to face his fears...and fight back. And I am batman (batgirl) because somebody has to raise the next generation:)

Day 5: A picture of somewhere you've been.

As of today I have been to the bear building  workshop 4,321 times, and after all those times I finally have my very own bear. Mine is the one with the brownie uniform. The daughter's is a junior since she is a junior girl scout. I have to say out was fun. Pushing the fluff pump, brushing my bear's fur, and then putting her little brownie uniform on...fun, fun, fun....
And it made me realize, that kids get to have all the fun... They get to go to school instead of work, have the summer off...get way more presents on holidays and birthdays... Yep I'm the green eyed monster:)








The daughter's fav=)

Day 4: A habit you wish you didn't have.

Let's see....of all the habits I wish I didn't have.... The one I wish would go away the most is.... Biting My Nails. I've done it for as long a I can remember.
I stopped for awhile before my sixteenth birthday...my mom promised to take me to a nail salon if I did. Come to think of it, she never did take me for my manicure... Note to self: call the mother about said manicure. But I digress, hate this habit.... I want to have the strong long nails all the hot girls have... I don't mean the ones with the fake nails...because, I've had the fake nails before. And they suck after awhile.... So if anyone put there knows a good way to stop biting your nails.... I'm all ears...or fingers:)

Day 3: A picture of you and your friends

Okay these three pictures are of my friends and I.
The first picture is of girl's night.
And the second is my best friend...my bee fried I've known him since I was 16. And I don't think I would have survived my life without him:)
And the third is a picture of my ex sister in law about a month ago, acting a fool after church:)






Day 2: The Meaning Behind Your Blog Name

Well this one is pretty easy. As I mentioned in my first post.. I'm the pickiest of the pickiest eaters. I only like potatoes, grean beans, and peas in the vegetable aisle....and I don't really like any fruits. Thankfully the daughter is not picky at all, and will eat just about anything. So that takes care of the picky part...now on to the Texas part. I live in Texas, have all my life. Would love to live any where else... But sadly it is not happening anytime soon. Now, obviously you know the last part, I'm a proud Momma to the best fourth grader I know. So there you have it folks. no dramatic story...just simple, easy peasy, abra cadabra!!! Welcome to the Picky Texas Momma's blog.... I hope you stay awhile:)
