Nothing like pancakes to kick off the week

On Saturday we got to see Missouri beat Georgia in person, and it was uncomfortably hot and the QB got injured, but it was mostly awesome.

We’re continuing the eMeals.com experiment this week, and once again I only have two of the week’s seven recipes on the roster. My goal for next week is to try three of them!

Monday: Orange Pancakes
This is one of this week’s eMeals picks, and it calls for a side of bacon. Sold.

Tuesday: Chicken Pot Pie
It’s October. It’s supposed to be pot pie weather, but it’s been pretty warm here lately. Maybe putting pot pie on the menu will bring in a little cool weather.

Wednesday: Tortellini
It’s easy, and the kids love it.

Thursday: Slow Cooker Chinese Barbecue Pork
This is another of the eMeals recipes. It sounds pretty tasty, and I’m always happy to find a reliable CrockPot meal.

Friday: Pizza
Yay pizza!

Last week the only eMeals recipe we ended up trying was the Philly Cheese Steak Stromboli. It was really good, but it called for far more roast beef than I actually ended up using.
