Menu Plan Monday: Be My Valentine

February 14, 2011 By Kelli 2 Comments

Thanks so much for reading my blog. Gosh, I have so much going on (seriously, I think I say that every single week) that I didn’t get to everything on last week’s menu, so we are trying again this week.

Monday – Crock Pot Pizza

Tuesday – Leftovers

Wednesday – Easy Chinese Stir Fry

Thursday – Weight Watchers Mexican Chicken Chili

Friday – Leftovers

I just love food that can be cooked once and eaten twice.

Menu Plan Monday: Lose Weight, Feel Great Week

January 3, 2011 By Kelli 5 Comments

Since we are doing the Lose Weight, Feel Great Week Event at 3 Boys and a Dog, I am making my menu plan reflect that. I went to Kraft Foods and looked for some healthy recipe choices. Then, I made my menu and my grocery list and sent my husband to the store. BTW, eating healthy sure is expensive. LOL! Seriously, healthy eating wouldn’t have been so expensive if I would have had several of these items on hand. Next time I get ready to make them, I won’t have to buy the pantry and fridge items again. So, now I am ahead of the game.

Monday – Chops-On-Top Pork and Stuffing Dinner 350 calories per serving

Tuesday – Mexican Chicken Casserole 350 calories per serving. This is actually very good! I had it at Kraft Kitchens.

Wednesday – Beef Fried Rice 380 calories per serving, plus low fat!

Thursday – Easy Chinese Stir Fry we love this and it was exciting to find that it only has 230 calories per serving!

Friday – Leftovers

What about you? Do you have any New Year’s Resolutions in place? I am not actually making a resolution to lose weight because I have NEVER kept a New Year’s Resolution, but I am trying harder to take more care in what I eat and am playing Just Dance 2 by Ubisoft right now. LOL! I am loving that game, even though it leaves me sore. LOL! The boys got it for Christmas and I am ready to find more versions of it.

What are your favorite, healthy meal choices?

Menu Plan Monday: Quick and Easy Leftovers

December 6, 2010 By Kelli 11 Comments

I flipped my BusyBodyBook to a new week and freaked out… I have NOTHING written on it. That means I don’t have one single post prepared nor even an idea of what I am going to write! What in the world? I was so hyper-focused on the Holiday Gift Guides, that I couldn’t see the future past them.

So, I am going to be slammed this week trying to get posts done AND trying to get future posts done so that when my family is off for the Winter Holidays, I can enjoy them – not work. What does that mean for my menu? It means, simply put, I have to make things that can be eaten on more than one day. They also must be things that I don’t have to stand over:

Monday – Kelli’s Spaghetti
Tuesday – leftover spaghetti
Wednesday – Girl Scout Stew (made from leftover spaghetti sauce)
Thursday – Leftover Girl Scout Stew
Friday – Salads and do your own thing.

Doesn’t that sound like the easiest meal plan in the world? I hope to spend Tuesday and Thursday making Christmas candies, too. So, it is best if I am not tying the kitchen up with supper. I am thinking to really use my crock-pot next week. LOL!

Now, I am off to link this up at Org Junkie and then close out some giveaways. Did you get your name in the hat? Don’t worry, I have a few more coming!

What do you do about dinner during the Holiday Rush?

Menu Plan Monday: WAR EAGLE and Halloween

October 25, 2010 By Kelli 5 Comments

So, we had an AWESOME weekend. It all started with dance on Friday where us group of women discussed Football (seriously, guys we talked football!) and some how went to baby names and meanings. Did you know Kelli means Warrior Princess. That’s right, don’t mess with me. LOL!

On Saturday we had two Halloween parties. What do you think of my Halloween costume? Plus, my UNDEFEATED team, Auburn, stomped the other SEC undefeated team, LSU. War Eagle! Yes, I am from the South… that means football is a pretty big deal.

Last week was a flop as far as dinner goes. My two oldest boys (DH and Tripp) were gone pretty much every night for the Spook Trail and I didn’t feel like cooking for my two pickiest eaters and myself. We stuck with Spaghetti O’s, Corn Dogs, and Frozen Pizzas. That means I get to try again this week with last week’s menu.

Monday: Easy Italian Meatloaf , Potatoes and Cheese , and Green Beans

Tuesday: Chili

Wednesday: leftovers

Thursday: Fried Pork Chops and Potato Salad

Friday: if we don’t go out to eat after dance, then we will have leftovers.

Menu Plan Monday: Still have a virus

August 30, 2010 By Kelli 7 Comments

Well, Please note that I have the Google Analytics Virus… I thought I had gotten rid of it, but I can’t. I have ordered a new computer and am just waiting on it to come in… in the meantime, I can not access MOST websites as it redirects to spam ones so I can’t update my main post links. Please be sure to visit all the girls in the Back 2 School Blog Hop Bash! It ends tomorrow and the links are not up to date!

I am trying as hard as I can and might be making a new post today with them if I don’t have a ship date today on the computer. Also, I can’t close my contests as I can’t access my comments page. So, until I get my computer in, I can’t list winners of all the closed contests. Anyway, on to my menu:

Monday: Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Tuesday: BBQ Pork Chops and Potato Salad

Wednesday: Kelli’s Spaghetti

Thursday: Italian Meatloaf and Potatoes and Cheese

Friday: Leftovers
