Welcome to December! The holiday season is usually extraordinarily busy–so having a meal plan become even more important than usual. Here’s what I’ve got to plan around this week: 1. We’ve got our normally scheduled dance classes, scout meetings and pool games. On top of that Yankee Bill has an additional club meeting one evening… 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
Meal Plan 11/5
Welcome to daylight savings time! I hope you all are enjoying a bit of extra light in the mornings–I know it’s a tad less depressing right now to wake up with a bit of a glow in the sky instead of pitch dark 🙂 Several unusual things going on this week that effect the meal… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 10/15
So I’m back from my trip to Bentonville Arkansas–home of Walmart. While it was nice to eat out every night for 3 nights, I’m back in the cooking groove! In a few weeks the chaos will ratchet down a notch–but for now we are still dealing with a full load of sports, after school activities… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 10/2
Welcome to October! Fall chaos continues, and so does the lovely crisp weather. I love being outside when it’s just the perfect weather for a pair of jeans and a sweater. Luckily this week we don’t have a lot going on beyond the standard activities. . . but let me tell you, that is enough… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 9/10
This week is the first full week of school, and let me tell you. . . I need a meal plan! And actually, although it’s Wednesday and I’m just posting it I have actually been following it all week. I have a lot going on this week, and a lot to consider: 1. We have… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 8/27
All at once the garden decided to start really producing. The zucchini, beans and tomatoes all are going nuts at the same time. That means I’m spending long days in the garden harvesting and then in the kitchen processing. It seems like every day supper time just sneaks up on me. But on to what’… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 8/14
This week is going to be a bit discombobulated. Two of my sisters, and two kiddos are visiting–so my mom is coming up and my brother will be spending more time over here. They are showing up most likely on Thursday, although it could be really late on Wednesday. And if it is Thursday it… Keep Reading
Meal Plan 8/6
Last week got a little squirrelly at the end, but I did manage to stick pretty closely to my plan–I think Saturday was the only day we really veered from it. That’s pretty good considering the unexpectedly hot weather that makes me cringe when I think of cooking and the general for the “lose-y goose-y”… Keep Reading
Menu 5/14
Time again for the weekly meal plan! This week is fairly simple-nothing too out of the ordinary to deal with (thank goodness!) 1. Standard schedule of meetings and after school type activities. Scouts & Pool on Wednesdays, Yankee Bill has a meeting on Tuesday (today), Princess has her dance lesson. The regular stuff. 2. Monday… Keep Reading
