Menu Plan Monday 3/01/10

Please pardon the odd look of the site while I figure out a way to make this Lifestyle theme work here. I thought I could fix it up myself but now I think I’ll have to ask for help.  I’m not sure about the red  background and the blue border, don’t be surprised if your [...]

Menu Monday – Week of Feb. 8

My cupboards and refrigerator are bare, so I need to stock up on pretty much everything this week! I’m headed to Aldi so I can get a lot of food without spending a fortune ( I love you, Aldi!).  I’m basing this week’s menu on foods I know Aldi has in stock. Also, my [...]

Menu Monday-week of Jan. 11

My husband flew to Montreal this morning and he’ll be gone until Thursday night.  When he’s not home, I cook things that the kids and I like but he doesn’t, so that’s reflected in this week’s menu. Here’s what I’m planning to make:

Menu Monday plus a Cookbook Giveaway

How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? We had a slight mishap with our turkey – it sort of cooked way too long and dried out – but I discovered that turkey breast meat steamed in a covered container with a little water in the microwave tastes just fine covered with turkey gravy :)   Even after having leftovers [...]

This is a crazy week for me! I’m working on two separate Holiday Gift Guides, I’ve got a stack of bills to pay, a house in desperate need of cleaning, plus a constant stream of new email in my three inboxes.  The last thing I want to do is spend a long time in [...]

Menu Plan Monday 10/26/09

Hello everybody, Happy Monday! Halloween is this Saturday, why not whip up a batch of Betty Crocker Frankenstein Brownies, Chocolate Mummy Cookies, or Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza? I’m hoping to be able to make something Halloweeny for the kids, if I can get everyone healthy first. Ryan is finally better, and then yesterday, Nathan started coughing! [...]

Menu Plan Monday Oct. 19

This could be a hectic week, my husband’s car is going into the shop for body work which could mean my driving him to and from work each day, and he works an hour away. I’ll need easy dinners that can be fixed quickly. I haven’t actually gone to the grocery store yet either, [...]
