I can’t believe it’s almost the end of January.  2014 is already flying by.  Two more months until we are going to Disney.  That gives me something to look forward to. We are going to use the crock pot all week again.  It was so helpful getting supper on the table all week.  It’s also…

Last week I did not prep any meals. I also went back to work on Wednesday. Needless to say I need to have some prep done. I prepped 3 of my dinners for this week today. I also prepped smoothie packets for next week. Easy peasy breakfasts. Monday. King ranch chicken, left over potatoes, carrots,…

It’s the last week of December/the first week of January.  Crazy 2013 is almost done.  This year has been full of highs and lows.  The high was our vacation to Virginia, South Carolina, Atlanta, and Alabama.  The low was the loss of my father-in-law.  We knew my father-in-law was not in the best of health,…

It’s been another week, so it’s time to menu plan once again.  This week is not as crazy as last week.  I still have dance lessons, Cub Scouts, chiropractor appointments, and parent-teacher conferences.  Even with those events, it’s not as busy. Monday – beef stroganoff over egg noodles and veggies Tuesday – pot roast, veggies,…

Can you believe it’s November already?  I sure can’t.  Soon it will be Thanksgiving, and then it will be the Christmas season.  We decided to go light with Christmas gifts for the boys this year.  Their big gift comes in late March/early April when we go to Disney.  Or do you mean Santa will get…

Thursday – goulash over noodles Friday…

This week’s a strange week.  I’ve only got to cook dinner 3 times this week – Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  So my method for planning those 3 days is this:  Go to my freezer.  Open it up.  What do I have that I need to eat up or cook up.  So it’s no real plan…

Here are my plans for dinner: Monday – pot roast, butter noodles, and veggies Tuesday – lemon chicken (if the recipe works, I’ll post it here) with rice Wednesday – homemade taco hamburger helper (if the recipe is good, I’ll post it here) Thursday – pot roast hash Friday – pretzel chicken tenders, mac, and…
