Things got back on track pretty well this week. Not perfect, but better. I didn't do any major projects, but did make some small progress. As long as it's progress. First, I decided to use what I already have. A few years ago, I bought a set of four very cool laundry baskets at the Container Store. They really are cool. They stack on each other … [Read more...]
Back to Menu Planning!
I'm ready to get back into the Menu Planning mode after the loosey-goosey holidays. Since I've committed to use up what we have and only spend 50 dollars a week for the next few weeks, I have to plan. I really don't have a choice.

I'm going to make it easy on myself this week because it's the dreaded twice-yearly clothing switchover time. For a recovering slob, it's pretty rough to have three huge … [Read more...]
Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Is it just me, or can you feel the "I'm not going to want to cook tonight" funk coming on early in the day sometimes? This is my go-to meal when that hits. First of all, it can be put in the crockpot at noon, sometimes as late as 2 if you aren't going to eat until 6:30 or so. Second, everybody loves it. Third, I've always got Kraft BBQ sauce in … [Read more...]
