hello! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a menu and I can tell! That feeling of knowing there is food here to make something, but not knowing what, is a horrible one.
So here we go…a menu for the week of my BIRTHDAY! That means there will be CAKE!
Lunches (M-F)
ham & cheese wraps, spinach salad, pineapple
pizza [...]
I bought a new cook book today. It is a crock pot cook book and I’m anxious to try some new recipes. I’ve been on a Christmas planning kick ever since ordering Christmas cards a couple weeks ago. One area I struggle with is serving food to company for several days. I plan ahead but [...]

Another Monday…another menu. I am still loosely using the 6 week menu I put together a couple of weeks ago and it has helped a lot. Now I’m stocking up on sales and only really needing to buy produce and dairy products.
Monday:
Cereal, milk & OJ
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, bread & butter
Pork roast (crock pot), [...]

Last week I put together a loose 6 week menu plan so I’m excited to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Here’s the plan for this week. We have Grace gone for two nights at Volleyball games. Since she won’t be playing with her sprained wrist we won’t be travelling to see the games. Then [...]

And here we are, the start of school this week. Oh, [...]

Owlhaven put out a challenge to spend less this month. Her goal is $75 a week for her family of 10 at home. I’ve seen similar things on other blogs, like Small Notebook’s 30 days of nothing in July. I am always intrigued. I love the idea of a challenge. Maybe because I’m more competitive [...]

I’m back from vacation…11 days of no cooking, cleaning or laundry. It was a wonderful getaway, but I’m ready to be back to the family routine.
Itchy to get in the kitchen, I asked what the family ate in my absence so I wouldn’t repeat anything. Coming back home after my trip, I stopped at Sam’s [...]
