What is it with me and Mondays? I can’t seem to get the menu plan up on time to save my life. Last week’s menu sort of re-arranged itself a bit. On Wednesday the internet provider went down for 3 hours. I’m embarrassed to admit that without being able to go online and check, I… Keep Reading

School starts tomorrow for the kiddos, along with all the changes in my life and schedule that go along with it! Now more than ever I will need to stay organized-and I’ve found that having a menu plan is the first step towards feeling like I have my day under control! Monday-Already Long Gone! We… Keep Reading

So, I’m back from Vegas. Yankee Bill had a pool tournament there (his team won at state level and got to go, expenses paid, to the national tournament). Yeah, I know, you probably didn’t even know I was gone. Blogger lets you schedule posts (a fairly new and awesome feature) so I was able to… Keep Reading

This week we’ve got family visiting, which always throws a wrench in your plans. When you have guests, a menu can actually be a lifesaver. When you know what you are going to feed a house full of folks, you have peace of mind (no decision making). With a plan you can also purchase foodstuffs… Keep Reading

Wow, it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve done a menu plan. Have you missed it? You know what? I totally felt it. Without the menu plan I was scrambling around each day trying to figure out what to feed the family. It was chaotic and somewhat unsettling. My whole schedule was off, and… Keep Reading

I have to admit, I did pretty good this week on the menu plan with 2 exceptions. On Friday my lovely MIL called and said that she had, and I quote “enough food left over to feed an Army” from a luncheon she had hosted at her home. So we went over and had a… Keep Reading

Here we go with another week! Last week’s menu plan went well until the weekend. With dance recital, guests etc we wound up grilling burgers on Saturday-so I pushed the trout to Sunday. Then on Sunday although I had already defrosted the trout we wound up going to a friend’s camp and BBQing hot dogs… Keep Reading

Monday was too busy to even think of posting. In the morning we had our town’s parade and Memorial Day ceremony at the cemetery. Yankee Bill wore his uniform and drove one of the older vets (WWII!!) in his antique convertible, then stood in the formation for the ceremony. I didn’t march this year due… Keep Reading
