I went through several months (oh, who am I kidding? it was more like a few years) of not menu planning. My food bill went sky high and we all gained weight. When you work all day, the last thing you want to do is go grocery shopping. Unfortunately, when you don’t have a plan …
Oh my goodness, this is going to be another crazy, busy week for me. I swear, one day I want a normal week where I don’t feel like I am a chicken running around with my head cut off. I just get so overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I have to do. Anyway, enough …
Since this week we will be scrubbing our kitchens from top to bottom in honor of National Cleaning Week, I have kept my menu plan easy. I have mostly crockpot type meals so we don’t need to make big messes in the room we are trying to deep clean. Week Thirteen Menu Plan: The …
Last week, our menu was very kid friendly. In addition to them being approved by even the most picky eaters, they were all simple and low ingredient. That means that kids (and dads) could easily make them, giving Mom a break from the kitchen! This week, Mom is back in the kitchen with some delicious …
When making my weekly meal plan, I like to create things that my children love because that is easier than dealing with picky eaters and complaints. However, I also can’t exist on chicken nuggets and pizza! I need more things, so I am constantly on the hunt for delicious, nutritious, and kid friendly meals. This …
Valentine’s Day is this week, so we have some special plans for the meals. However, the rest of the week is our normal weekly food menu. When you make your meal plan each week, do you consider holidays? This weekly food menu includes recipes as well as a printable menu and shopping list. All the …
I think February has always been my busiest month. This is why I need to be menu planning now more than ever. Planning out what we will eat is a fun way to spend a bit of time with my guys and find out what they love. Plus, my husband and I can go shopping …
We are now four weeks into the year and our menu planning is working. Woot! My husband and I (as well as my youngest son) are sorta on diets. I say “sorta” because we aren’t really eating healthier type things. We are really just being more careful about what we put into our bodies. We …
Last week, we talked about trying to get our routines and schedules back to normal after the hectic Holiday Season. Now that we are in the first full week of the year, life is back to normal and it is time to tackle those to do list items that have gotten a bit backlogged – …
I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for my life to get back to normal! Don’t get me wrong, I love the Holiday Season! But, I simply can not take any more of it. LOL! I used to meal plan every week, like clockwork. However, over the past few years, I have …
Here’s some free printables to help you make preparing for Thanksgiving just a tad easier! I made a Free Thanksgiving Menu Planning Sheet for you last year. Be sure to access it to prepare for dinner this year! I also made a Company Ready To Do list at the main site! Be sure to …
I am lucky in that I don’t have anyone coming to my house for Thanksgiving this year. So, I do not have to spend the next few days scrubbing my home from top to bottom. The good news is that you don’t either! When company is coming and your house is a mess, don’t fret! …
