I am totally getting into the swing of this and it really has been helping us to eat at home far more than we were.
I am so proud to say last week I cooked at home all five days during the work week! That is a HUGE accomplishment for us as a family!
With the summer here I am looking to include more grill recipes, light meal ideas for the heat, and overall summer-friendly recipes so I have been spending way too much time on Pinterest. (more…)
Meal plan Monday is back after a week off because of the holiday last Monday. I didn’t think anyone would be reading blogs or meal planning on such a busy day. And boy was it busy for us!
I am getting back into the swing of things and while I am sure I will miss some Monday’s here and there it is something I am working on regularly doing. I have also decided over time I am going to throw in a couple recipes I learned from my mom over the years.
As well as side dishes. I got some comments that I don’t feed my kids vegetables or frankly much of anything because I was only including “main dishes” in my meal plans. (more…)
A couple weeks after I said I was going to do it… I am finally holding true and starting my Meal Plan Monday series here on my site. I put a lot of thought and effort into it over the past couple weeks, carefully planning different new recipes while wasting ours on Pinterest in the name of research.
I have to admit without doing the whole meal plan thing on my site, I totally lost my inspiration. Not having a blog post to go back for recipes and inspiration totally put my meal plan right in the shitter. So I am really hoping that getting this going weekly will help me to stay on top of it.
This week I am planning five different recipes. As we all know its a huge accomplishment if I complete three of them, but I hope to help inspire you guys to have some new dishes on your own dinner table! (more…)
My first week of meal planning was a total success! See even Addison loved everything I made, and as a matter of fact so did my sons. And they are hard to impress when it comes to anything beyond cheese burgers and grilled cheese!
Monday I had a hiccup with getting our grill running so we went out to eat. No big deal… then Tuesday and Wednesday night I cooked. Total success. The picture is from Tuesday night’s three cheese chicken Alfredo bake. – Speaking of that, be sure to check out the recipe from The Plain Chicken because it was a-maz-ing!
At the end of my meal plan last week I said if I cooked 3 out of the 5 meals I planned it would be a success, and alas I am extremely proud of myself because I did it! (more…)
