Menu Plan

I didn’t do a menu plan last week, and I definitely had to face the consequences. We grabbed dinner one night and that’s never good for the budget. This week I’m planning ultra-easy meals to keep that from happening.

Monday – Baked chicken breasts, buttered noodles and spinach

Tuesday – Turkey smoked sausage pan fried with hash browns.

Wednesday – Spinach artichoke pizza – I’m using a Boboli pizza crust I got at the bread store for 1.00. I’ll brush the crust with olive oil, and salt and pepper it. I’ll then sprinkle a very thin layer of mozzarella for some “glue” and top with thawed and drained frozen spinach which I’ll season with a squirt of lemon juice and some garlic salt. Add drained and chopped canned artichoke hearts, and cover with more mozzarella. If we have some chicken leftover from Monday, I’ll slice it up and put it on top. This is an absolute favorite of ours. I’ll probably just do a cheese pizza for the kids.

Thursday – Boy Scout Christmas party

Friday – eat out

Saturday – Grilled cheese and soup.

My New Non-Negotiable for the Week

December 7, 2009 By Dana White | 3 Comments

0shares 0 0 0I haven’t done very well this week. I’ve had lots of excuses for not doing the complete list of daily tasks every single day. I think that a lot of that has to do with the house being ultra clean on Tuesday for the party, and then too much for me to […]

Another "Duh" Moment

December 4, 2009 By Dana White | 2 Comments

1share 1 0 0 This week has been crazy. Are there ever weeks that aren’t? Every night this week we’ve had something going on. Something pretty major. And the days have been equally as hectic. So what do I do? I ignore my house. The house falls down farther on my priority list when I’m […]

Surefire Way to a Clean House

5shares 0 0 5HAVE A PARTY!!!! Seriously, have a party. I’ve always said this. The best way to get me to clean my house and make decisions about decorating issues I’ve been putting off is to put a party on the calendar and invite people over. It’s amazing how that impending doorbell will act like […]

Daily Checklist and Excuses

December 2, 2009 By Dana White | 1 Comment

1share 1 0 0I generally write two posts a day. My daily checklist and a general post about this process. I decided last week that I should write my daily checklist post first, and then the other (hopefully more interesting) post second so that if someone checked the blog, they would see the interesting post […]

Crazy Cleaning Day

December 1, 2009 By Dana White | 3 Comments

1share 1 0 0 Well, not as crazy as it could be. Today I’m trying to notice all the details. Translated, I’m hoping I don’t miss something gross or embarrassing in my house since my husband’s office co-workers are coming over tonight. I’m pretty much done except for vacuuming and mopping and setting up the […]

My Obsession with Gadgets

74shares 74 0 0 Three guesses. I’ll give you a hint. It isn’t a platypus puppet. But I do think it would work better as that. I bought this thing at a garage sale, new in the package, about three years ago. Maybe longer. I took it out of the package this morning. And now […]

My New Non-Negotiable for the Week

November 29, 2009 By Dana White | 10 Comments

1share 0 0 1I didn’t add a new non-negotiable last week. Since I didn’t get back until Monday evening, it really never occurred to me, and things were so off schedule last week that it was a bit pointless anyway. I’ve managed to not let the house become a total sty this week. Just a […]
