Happy Homemaker Monday

Welcome to my regular Monday feature where I join Sandra and a few friends to share my plans for the week. 
Sandra provides a great photo to share and prompts to chat about.

The Weather
Looking for fall. Summer won’t let go.  Still in upper 90’s.  I we
get  some rain this week.

Right Now I Am
I am behind.   I’ve been spending all my spare time which isn’t much working on quilts to get sent to Houston. 

On My Reading Pile
My pile is so big.  I usually just share the one I am reading this week.
Crepe Factor
I am enjoying this one.
And itching to read this one . . .

I Am Thankful For
Restaurants.  Sunday we stopped for lunch a great Chinese place.  It was nice to sit and relax after a week of cooking every night.

In The Garden
Pumpkin vine with no pumpkins.  What’s up with that?  I am not sure I’ll get a garden in.  Hopefully I can find some broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage at Walmart  to plant.

On the menu this week
A week of food from the freezer.  I am diligently trying to clean out the freezer of left overs and on sale purchases.  I try to be frugal but I overwhelm myself. 

Monday—Chuck Roast, Potatoes and Carrots
Tuesday—Tortilla soup from diced smoke chicken from freezer

Friday—Kielbasa and Red Beans/Rice a mix

Wednesday—Pinto’s Cornbread, Fried Potatoes  Didn’t do the pinto’s don’t know what I did!

 Quick, easy and delicious One Pot Beef Stroganoff!! Perfect for a weeknight meal and will have your family asking for seconds!
Planning on trying this recipe this week.  I don't make it often because I don't have a recipe and actually I don't think to do it!

I AM Inspired
My friend Debbie Dabble shared her Fall tree. 
It is so fun I was inspired to set up my Cabin tree for fall then change out the silks and ribbons to Christmas and add the Christmas ornaments. 
Very cool idea.  Thanks Debbie!

A lovely book at a clients house.  I am fascinated with tea parties.
