Monday-Leftovers
I have leftover Shepard’s pie (which I made on Sunday rather than the planned meal) and Lentil Loaf (from my wonderful MIL). Either of those with a side of veggies will feed the crew.
Tuesday-Homemade Chicken Soup and Biscuits.
I’m so happy that soup season is back. I just love soup! On Saturday I supported our local Lions Club and purchased 3 BBQ chicken halves at the Fall Festival. Even after all 4 of us eating, I had enough left over to boil for soup.
Wednesday-Vension/Broccoli Stirfry
Still trying to clear some of the Venison out of the freezer before Northern Zone Deer Season starts on November 15 
Thursday-Broccoli & Ham Quiche
I’ve got a few broccoli sideshoots left out in the garden, and ham in the freezer. Since the kiddos have choir, I’ll make it in the morning and reheat in the evening.
Friday-Homemade Pizza
Last week I forgot and used my old crust recipe instead of the excellent “Pizza Hut Clone” that I got from Amy over at MomAdvice. We ate it, but we were all dissapointed. I’ll do it right this week.
Saturday-Pigs (sausages) in a Blanket & Green Beans.
I have a pkg of Polish Sausages in the freezer left over from BBQ’ing this summer. I’ll cut them in 3rds, wrap in homemade dough and bake. The kiddos are going to LOVE this.
Sunday-Chicken Divan
I never did make this last Sunday, and I still need to use up that chicken, so we’ll give it a go.

I see venison on the menu. Are you the hunter or your husband?
I looked on Amy’s site but I can’t find the pizza recipe? Can you post it?
I have noticed the vension on the menu too. I don’t have much exposure to preparing and cooking venison. I hear seasoning is the trick. Any tips or hints?
I would like to try the Pizza Hut clone crust . Would you please share the recipe or a link ?
Hubs is the hunter. I did a whole bunch on venison last fall:

I’ll probably reprise that after hunting season this year and ask for more ideas and recipes! You can never have too many.
As for the pizza crust, I’ll either reprint it or post the direct link soon-I promise you, it is a GREAT crust!
oh man! I can’t wait to try that pizza hut crust! I finally found a great crust that reminds me of the italian bread we get at the restaurant macaroni grill, but hubby would love it if I made a “pizza hut” crust! He loves their crust….and so do I

Can’t wait for that post!
Are your kids fine with eating venison? I guess if you start them early. I wish I could get my kids to be that flexible!

YSA-My kids eat it no problem, but then again my kiddos eat about anything
I did make sure from the time they were very young that we talked about where meat came from so they wouldn’t be freaked out about it coming from a deer (or a cow for that matter) when they got older. With hunters in the family you have to think about these things 
Do you ever convert breadmaker recipes for non-breadmaker users? I have no idea how to do that, and don’t have access to a breadmaker easily (I live overseas), but I would looooove to try your Pizza Hut crust! It sounds soooo yummy!
