More Alphabet Dinners

With 30 days in a month and 26 letters in the alphabet, I thought we could get through all the letters in a month.  Maybe a month and a half.  Here it is Two months later and just a little past half way. 



I - Ice Cream - We had this for desert with our fresh peach pie.

J- Jello

K- Kale -I made a Olive Garden copy-cat soup.  The one with the potatoes and sausage.  I can never remember the name of it, but it is my favorite.

L - Lemonade


M- Mashed Potatoes -I was going to have sauteed Mushrooms, but I didn't make it to the store.  I did get them about a week later, because yes Mashed is an adjective describing the potatoes which starts with a P!  We do have Milk almost everyday, so I guess we could count that too.

N- Noodles - I think in the form of spaghetti, but I can't remember now.

O- Olives - We ate these at a party.  I was going to also go out and get some Onion Rings or a Onion Blossom, but it hasn't happened yet.

P- Peas in our Tuna Casserole

Q- Crab Quiche - I couldn't think of an ingredient that started with a Q.  Quiche was actually the only thing edible that I could think of for Q.  I don't know where to get any Quail. 

R- Rice -I think I served this with my home canned sweet and sour sauce.

Alphabet Meals (A-H)

My daughter is starting kindergarten, which she is supper excited about.  It is all she has talked about all summer.  I still can't believe that my baby is going to kindergarten.  I hope that she loves it.  I thought it would be fun to do something in honor of of that.  So what I came up with was alphabet meals.  I haven't done one every night; you have to have leftover sometimes, but most days have had a meal which was sponsored by a different letter.  This is what we have had so far.

A - Chicken Bacon Artichoke Pizza  (from Papa Murphy's -I had never had it before, and it was really good) 

B - Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

C- Chicken Chalupas (sp?)- for leftovers we added Cauliflower which I didn't have the sauce for the first night.

D - Donuts - I couldn't think of anything mealish.  We ate these on our way to Bear Lake.

E - Eggs - We had Egg muffins for breakfast and then for dinner in our potato salad.

F- French Fries - It was supposed to be fish, but it was the day we got home and I got lazy

G - Mashed potatoes with Gravy - side of Green Beans

H - Hotdogs  - again, the ham quiche I had planned was just too much bother (plus some people don't like it)  (Haggis was also suggested, but I didn't know if I could stomach that)

That is as far as we have gotten so far, but it has been a lot of fun.  We do have a few problem letters coming up like V and X.  I have tried to have the alphabet letter be an ingredient in the meal rather than then name of the meal.  I will let you know who the rest of the alphabet goes.
