Menu Plan for October 3-9

Don't forget the Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip giveaway here....Deadline to enter is Wednesday!


Lots going on this week and trying to plan a menu to work around a possible trip to visit grandmother, a birthday and two days off for the man of the house.  This weekend I was able to clean out and inventory all three freezers, make several jars of muscadine jelly, cook a nice roast for the freezer and to roast several bags of meat bones and get them started in a mineral and vitamin rich broth that is cooking right now.  Getting that broth canned will be on the agenda for later this week.

Here is the original Caramel Apple Oven Pancake recipe that Devin made for us earlier this week.  (This recipe was adjusted on the website to serve 8)  Aaron even made an eggless version for himself.  Both were great, except that Devin and I both thought the cake part was way too thick.  This week when we make this we will keep the batter portion the same, but will double the caramel apple part and we will use a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish instead of the 9 inch-pan recommended.
