Meal Plan Monday

April 17, 2011

Only two grocery trips this week- I feel like I’m letting you guys down, lol. Now that DH is working so much I have less time (and pressure!) to coupon so much. Plus with The Boy being so difficult in the stores these days I haven’t been nearly as efficient. Instead I am trying to focus my [...]

Meal Plan Monday

April 11, 2011

Easy week around here thanks to freezer cooking last week. What a great treat to have dinner out of the way for half the month.  I used family packs of chicken breasts, ground turkey and ground beef, approx. $30.  Most of the rest came from what we already had here and another $30 at Sprouts for [...]

Meal Plan Monday

February 28, 2011

I hope all of you have been doing better at sticking to a Meal Plan than we have.  We lost my father- in- law last week and have had family in town. I think we will have eaten out more in the last week than we will for the rest of the year!  The service is [...]

Kid Food

February 19, 2011

My kids were so excited about this dinner.  I sliced the hot dogs down the middle and added half a slice of cheese to each, then wrapped with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.  Bake according to the directions on the rolls while you cook your tator tots or fries or both like we did. These are good with bacon wrapped [...]

February 12, 2011

  As I have told you before, I LOVE the idea of freezer cooking all my meals for a month and only cleaning up once but in reality it can be hard to pull off.  So I break mine down into sections.  Start with a few bags of potatoes, on sale, of course.  Set your [...]

Freezer Cooking-What To Do With Chili

February 6, 2011

Like many of you, I made a huge pot of chili in honor of the Superbowl today.  What a nice treat to have simmering all day, making the house smell good while the snow is falling outside. But like everything else, I am chosing to multi-task with this and will stretch it out to get several meals from [...]

Freezer Cooking- Chicken

February 5, 2011

Wondering what to do with that 20 lbs of chicken you just got such a great deal on?  If you are anything like me, you would just leave it in the fridge until it really starts to stink and then throw it out!  Above is my “Italian Chicken”.  I put the chicken breasts in the [...]

Freezer Cooking Success!

January 25, 2011

It truly dumbfounds me to think that we used to eat dinner out 3 or 4 times a week, and did take out or drive through food for the other 17 meals.  On the rare occasion I “cooked” it was likely a heat up meat product, instant mashed potatoes and Green Giant Steamers, all courtesy of my [...]

Meal Plan Monday-It’s back

November 8, 2010

I am so happy to be able to sit down and work on this after the crazy weekend.  My sister in law lives in the next building over from the one that burned yesterday.  She was inside her apartment and had no idea what was happening outside.  The closer we got to her building the [...]
