Also about Sunday dinners, besides the fact we usually go to my m-i-l's for lunner (lunch and dinner - around 2:30) if I did need to cook I would either do a crock pot thing that I put everything in the pot the night before and just had in the fridge so in the morning I would just take it out and put it in the cooking part of the crock pot (roast, chicken, pork ribs etc.). Some other ideas are any frozen once a month cooking things - lasagna, pasta lasagna (uses smaller pasta peices instead of lasagna noodles -- watch for a recipe post on this soon on my blog), minestrone casserole (again watch my blog in the next few weeks), chicken pot pie, anything that can be made ahead and frozen then just pull it out Saturday morning to defrost then throw in the oven. I think I will add to my list of things I want to post on my blog a list of freezer cooking meals I like to have on hand.

Anyway, lunch is our big Sunday meal. Usually get a crock pot of something good before we go to Church in the morning. Come home add the sides plus dessert. We're so full that by the time "dinner" rolls around, all we can eat is maybe a bowl of cereal and some toast before night Church. Also my husband works 6pm to 6am, so big lunch works best for us.

Popcorn, sandwich fixings, crackers & cheese, sometimes something like spinach dip, hummus, etc. Seems like that might fit the bill for your needs on Sun. night?

I am going to try the cinnamon rolls out, as well as the pretzels. Have you tried freezing the cinnamon rolls after they are made but before they have risen? I would love to make some up and then freeze to pull out say the night before we want them so I could just bake in the morning. Your menu sounds great.

I never buy them, but my grandma usually buys them for me for Christmas!! Now I'm hungry for all the stuff people listed. Sunday night is usually leftover night. Once in awhile we eat out.

Pancakes, french toast, or cereal. :) Everybody in my house loves breakfast, so it's a quick pleaser. We usually do breakfast for supper on Sunday nights.

As long as we have some. If not it's usually some fast food. I like to have my fridge cleaned out for the week, since Monday is grocery shopping day.

When you said you got new socks and how that's exciting, I thought "yup, I totally get that!" I get excited about little things like new socks, too. I, for one, am thrilled for you- enjoy your little splurge! :) As for Sunday dinners, I usually make it a leftover/clean out the fridge night, and lately I've been planning to do make homemade mac and cheese if there aren't enough leftovers. It's quick and simple (I either bake it or keep it as a pasta and sauce depending on my mood and what time it is). Another thing I like to do is plan a crockpot meal, so that I prepare it on Saturday, and turn it on Sunday morning. No thinking, no extra dishes. I love it. :) Oh Laura, I think we could be friends in real life!
