Last night, we had a church group meet in our home, and someone brought a fabulous cheesy chicken enchilada casserole. A normal person might think to herself, "I should really get this recipe." I thought to myself, "I should really use recipes more often." I tend to be "creative" at the expense of being delicious. I need to break out the … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday on Sunday
If I don't do it now . . . . I had a menu plan last week. But then, nothing quite went as planned. For this week: Monday - Quesadillas Tuesday - Spaghetti Wednesday - Sub Sandwiches at the ballgames - I'm going to make two big sandwiches on loaves of french bread and cut them into pieces to share. Thursday - Our only night home … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Again, I regretted neglecting a menu plan last week. Even my kitchen seems to stay cleaner when I have a plan, and the reverse when I don't. Who knows how that works? And thinking about my menu now probably saved me a decent chunk of money. I have a roast in the fridge that needs to be cooked, and knowing my scatter-brained self, I'd forget … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – The Early Edition
I haven't planned my menu in three weeks. I have no real excuse. And I regret it. During week one, I realized that I'd made a mistake, and by week 3, I was desperate to get back to it. Last week, I did think through my menu for the week, but not having it written down meant that the stress was still lurking. Baseball season is upon us, so … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Back to Menu Planning! After a week of no routine, it's important to plan the menu so I don't waste the things in the fridge that I thought I would make last week, but didn't because there wasn't a plan. And if you're having a little brain-freeze trying to plan a menu, I'll give my best piece of advice. Ask your husband what he'd like. I … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – Back to It
I didn't menu plan last week. Ironically, it was because I spent Monday working on eliminating the clutter corner in our office/gameroom and writing up the post about it for orgjunkie.com. And of course . . . I regretted it. Does anyone else find themselves checking their own blog to see what's for supper that night? Last week, with nothing to … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
The menu plan didn't go quite perfectly last week. So this week, I have a few "let's try that one again" items. Monday - I'm in the mood for goulash. Unfortunately, there are about a million recipes for goulash on the internet, and they're so incredibly varied. I'm guessing that this is because what I'm thinking of as goulash isn't really … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
After the craziness of Snow Day + Natural Weekend Chaos, I'm ready to get some control over this house again. Although today is a holiday for the kids (translation - another day of no routine for mama) menu planning will help me get there. Monday - French Dip Sandwiches for our Family Romantic Dinner We had things going on for … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
As the family watches the Superbowl, I'm planning next week's menu. I really tried to act interested for the first part while I ate my cheese dip. But then I realized that my mind was far away and I hadn't paid any attention whatsoever to the game. Monday - Chicken Fried Rice (Since I haven't made any rice ahead of time, I'll just use a little … [Read more...]
