Menu for week of August 1st

I know I say this a lot, but Geez, it's August. What happened to July, or June??? We will be starting school again in a couple of weeks. We are still in our house and haven't moved to the lake house yet? We need to get busy. It's been hot, and I've had back problems. I took care of that with a new prescription, but it makes me very sleepy and lazy. I think I need to get in more caffeine or something people. Please pray that I get some things done in the next couple of weeks. It seems like when I'm not packing, neither is hubby. We're a great pair, aren't we?

Here's what I plan on feeding my family this week:

Monday: Pancakes and Sausage, Orange Juice
Soup from the freezer, crackers and cheese, fruit
Mixed Beans from the freezer, cabbage and noodles (new recipe), and maybe corn bread

Cabbage and Noodles

1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles
1 stick butter
1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add the cabbage to the melted butter; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the cabbage begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the drained noodles into the cabbage; cook and stir until the noodles begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
