It’s just a keep on trucking, get back on track kinda week this week. Nothing exciting happening but lots of everyday stuff. I’ve got several things to consider this week: 1. This week Yankee Bill has pool one night, I have three days I’m going to be in town (once for a lesson, once for… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 1/5
Welcome to 2016! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and New Years and are all ready to get back to the business of living. I’m back to my regularly scheduled blogging and meal planning starting this week. Here’s what I’ve got to plan around: 1. The first week back after a two week break… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 11/26
Back to Monday, back to meal planning! The last two weeks were a bit more “fly by the seat of your pants” than I like–but hey, that’s life. Yankee Bill was at deer camp for a week, and then last week was Thanksgiving (lots of eating with family and warming up leftovers). Now we are… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 1/2/12
Happy New Year! We had a lovely and fairly relaxed holiday week here at the Frugal Upstate house. The kids played, we had friends over, ate way too much good food and enjoyed ourselves. .. How about you? But now it’s back to reality and back to menu planning! Did any of you make a… Keep Reading

Menu Plan 5/17
Back on track with a menu plan this week! And I’ve got to say-I absolutely HAVE to be organized when it comes to meals this week. I have play rehearsal every night for the next two weeks-which requires me to be out the door by 5:45 most nights. Without a plan I think the family… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 2/8
I’m back from the Blissdom women’s blogging conference (where I was a speaker) and in “conference recovery” mode. That means that I have my own sleep to catch up on, unpacking to do, laundry for the entire family and usually some pickup/reorganization to do with the house. As a result I like to keep the… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 2/1
This week is a very short menu plan since I’m heading out to Nashville to speak at and attend the Blissdom conference! I have learned to accept reality when I go out of town-Yankee Bill is just not going to cook. Freezer meals will cost more than the meals I usually cook-but are way less… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 1/18
In this week’s plan I try to get back on track a bit. . Monday: Tuna “Salmon” Loaf, Carrots & Lemon Rice I’ve been a bad, bad girl about working fish into our diet for the last couple of months. I vow to be better! To start my renewed commitment I’m going to make my… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 1/11
Welcome to another crisp, cold week! The menu plan this week doesn’t have to take too much into account. We do have the regular 2 weekly sessions of Wrestling for Princess-which means I have to be able to feed her by about 4:30 so she can be at wrestling at 6 (she can’t wait till… Keep Reading
