Menu Monday 5-16-11

I’m only planning half a week of meals this week because I’m going out of town on Friday and my husband likes to hit the grocery store and make up his own meal plan when I’m not home. We’re also on a tight budget again this week, so I’ll be swinging by Aldi later [...]

We woke up this morning to an inch of snow here in mid-Michigan, which really isn’t a surprise. It’s been known to snow in June! Nevertheless, it put a chill in the air that made me reconsider my weekly menu. I want warm and comforting meals this week!

We’re on a super-tight budget, so [...]

I have a really bad cold and both Ryan and Kaitlyn are sick too, so I’m really not even in the mood to cook. But, there’s a winter storm coming or so they say, that could dump up to a foot of snow on us by Wednesday. Which means I have to drag my sick [...]

Menu Plan Monday posted on Tuesday – oops!

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 [...]

Menu Plan Monday November 2nd

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 [...]
