Menu Plan Monday: Happy Birthday Zachary!

April 30, 2012 By Kelli 4 Comments

My middle child is now out of the single digits! Well, not ACTUALLY until 10:27 this evening, but still. LOL! It is really kind of a sad day for me. They are all growing up so fast! I really wish time would just stop for a bit so I can enjoy them.

Well, this is another busy week for us… why is it that the last month of school seems to be the absolute busiest? May is crazy! I am running out of empty days on my Calendar, seriously!

Be sure to print out your coupons this week! Remember, you should be able to print them twice.

Ok, on to my menu plan for this week:

Monday: Assembly at 6:00 pm at School – whatever we are having it will be QUICK.

Tuesday: Acro for Tank today: Roast, gravy, mashed potatoes, and corn – great crockpot meal

Wednesday: Field Trip plus Jazz & Acro for Zack: Leftovers and probably some biscuits to stretch it

Thursday: Nothing yet… Chicken Broccoli Braid

Friday: Meatloaf that I didn’t get to last week

PARTY TIME: Get Cooking With Country Crock, Tonight! #AVeryVeggieWorld

April 24, 2012 By Kelli 1 Comment

The Resourceful Mommy is a Twitter Party Queen, is she not? I don’t attend all of her parties, but when a company reaches out and asks me to, I am typically there. Especially when they send me a little package and ask me to tell my readers and even more especially (I am certain that is a correct way to use it) when it is a product that I know and use.

We love Country Crock and use it even when a recipe calls for “butter”. I especially like the one with Calcium added. My boys want it on everything from Broccoli to Bread! Anyway…

On behalf of Country Crock, we would like to invite you to join us at our #AVeryVeggieWorld Twitter Party in honor of our first-ever Country Crock digital recipe book – A Very Veggie World.

We’re on a mission to get your family to love their veggies as much as we love ours, so we’ve teamed up with Clare Crespo of Yummy Fun to create 25 Country Crock recipes featuring a variety of healthy and delicious vegetables. And these aren’t your average veggie casseroles – this recipe book is full of fun and unique dishes that will keep your family asking for seconds, so download your copy and get cooking!

*** The Twitter party will take place TONIGHT, Tuesday, April 24th from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm CST/8:00 pm to 9:00 pm EST. Please RSVP here: http://resourcefulmommy.com/9031/a-very-veggie-world-twitter-party/

Where: #AVeryVeggieWorld tag on Twitter

How: Follow @CountryCrock, @YummyClare and @ResourcefulMom and me of course! @momof3boys3702 and tweet with the event tag to participate

I hope to see you there – yes, I will be missing Glee for this, but no worries, I can watch it on Video on Demand later. I hope some of my readers win the great prizes being offered during the party. Lots of goodies from veggie peelers, to coupons, to a Cuisinart Food Processor! See the picture below to see all the prizes being given!

*DISCLAIMER: I was sent a box of goodies from Country Crock to tell my readers about this event.

Menu Plan Monday: Silence is Golden

April 23, 2012 By Kelli 1 Comment

Ha! I don’t really mean that at all. While I will get so much more work done today than I did all last week, it was nice having my whole family home again. I miss homeschooling so much, but I love seeing my boys thrive at school!

Anyway, this week is another one of those weeks. Stanley Steamer comes on Tuesday anytime between 9 and 1, then it starts acro, jazz, etc! Baseball is over so that is now off our schedules AND my husband and oldest will be home much earlier these days.

Oh, while I have you here, be sure to hit that giveaways tab up near the top of this page. I have about 10 giveaways running right this second including a low-entry cookbook that ends tonight!

Be sure to print out your coupons this week! Remember, you should be able to print them twice.

Ok, on to my menu plan for this week:

Monday: Chicken Broccoli Braid

Tuesday: Manwich Meatloaf and Potato Salad

Wednesday: Rotel Dip

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: I would like to go out to eat

Menu Plan Monday: Just Another Day in the Office

April 16, 2012 By Kelli 1 Comment

I am not going to be around much for the next few days! You can find out why at the deals site today

Be sure to print out your coupons this week! Remember, you should be able to print them twice.

Ok, on to my menu plan for this week:

Monday: I am thinking that I will be doing frozen pizzas, TV Dinners, or something similar! Today, I will be painting the last wall and deep chocolate and then doing baseboards, doors, etc.

Tuesday: I am hoping to start my morning by putting something in the crockpot. If I don’ get there, then no telling because my new furniture is supposed to arrive this day. That means, I will be putting it together and organizing it!

Wednesday: Hopefully back into the swing of things! By today, my house will probably be such a disaster that I will be doing some massive cleaning through the day! How does East Italian Meatloaf, Potatoes and Cheese, Broccoli, and Honey Butter Biscuits sound?

Thursday: Leftovers!

Friday: Last day of Spring Break, gotta take my kids to the beach! Picnic foods sound great: fried chicken, potato salad, etc

Menu Plan Monday: Back to The Regular Program

April 9, 2012 By Kelli 3 Comments

This is definitely the week to get back into the swing of things! Glee comes back on this week and it couldn’t come any sooner! I am dying to know if Quinn is ok or not. That girl has had a rough time of it in high school, hasn’t she?

All the yummy goodness from Easter is (sorta) over and it is time to get back on my Gruve weightloss plan! I hit green yesterday after running all over with my kids to find Easter Eggs, but it was my first time to hit it in several days, and if I sit at this computer all day, I won’t hit it today either. So, I plan to do a little exercise today either on the Wii or the XBox plus 100 jumping jacks!

Baseball is almost over. They have to win 2 of their games this week in order to be Area Champs and make it to the playoffs. Wish them luck!

Next week is Spring Break, so I am REALLY hoping to get the office dug out this week. I would LOVE to paint next week hen everyone is home to help. LOL! In fact, the trash man comes on Wednesday, so I plan to fill up the cans this week so he can haul it off. I also called my son’s school about donating tons of books to them. They don’t want them. Go figure! That’s why I don’t do a bunch of fundraising for them! My niece’s school, however, most likely does want them. I am hoping to hear back from my sister-in-law today!

Be sure to print out your coupons this week! Remember, you should be able to print them twice.

Ok, on to my menu plan for this week:

Monday: Fried pork chops, leftover Macaroni and Cheese, broccoli

Tuesday: Chicken (haven’t decided yet how to cook it) It is a whole fryer and I would love ideas!

Wednesday: leftovers

Thursday: Ballpark food – double header at home today!

Friday: Taco Bake
