  • Mom, What’s For Dinner – Weeks of June 17 and 24th, 2018

    This morning I was up early before the family.  I watched 2 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy before heading outside with a cup of coffee.  While I was outside, I sat down and menu planned for the next two weeks. After menu planning, I headed to the grocery store so that I could be ready for the week.…

  • I wrote down a list of possible meal ideas for this week. Then I asked the Wee One his opinion on what we should cook for dinner. He gave me a few ideas – taco Tuesday in which I suggested he do a burrito Tuesday instead. He also decided we should have a sausage and…

  • Mom, What’s For Dinner? – Week of June 3, 2018

    It has been a hot minute since I have made a menu plan.  For a while, I was eating out way TOO much.  Like almost every day. The cost of eating out plus the unhealthiness of eating out was wearing down on us. My aunt came into town for a week.  While she was here,…

  • Mom, What’s for Dinner? – Week of March 12th

    It’s been so LONG since I meal planned.  Between my gallbladder illness and then recuperation, it’s not been a priority. My family and I are unique because the boys and Hubby are meat eating, gluten loving while I’m dabbling my feet back into the gluten waters and am currently a vegetarian.  So planning for suppers…

  • Mom, What’s For Dinner? – Week of February 19, 2018

    It’s been a while since I menu planned.  With my gallstones, food has not been appetizing.  I create a menu but then decide I don’t want to eat any of the food on the menu plan.
