Menu Plan Monday Nov 17th

How closely o you follow your meal plan?

I would say most weeks I follow it with the exception of Sundays.  Although sometimes I end up switching days, but I still make all the meals I had planned for that week.  Sometimes things don’t go according to the plan though.

Last Wednesday I planned on making this baked chicken and Mac & Cheese.  As it turned out I ended up with a migraine that afternoon.  However, the kids still need to be feed.  I looked at the baked chicken recipe and it was sooo easy! So I was still able to make it, even though I was dying.  I did change the recipe from using yogurt to a mix of cream cheese and sour cream.  Everyone agreed the chicken was wonderful.  Instead of making mac & cheese from scratch, my husband made some from a box.  I know, I know, Kraft isn’t the same, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Seriously though, the chicken was so easy and very yummy!

Menu Plan Monday Nov 10th

Happy Meal Plan Monday.

We are already on the second Monday in November!  how did that happen?

I skipped a couple of menu planning weeks due to us being out-of-town, and then recovering from being out-of-town…

Since it has been so long since I made a plan, I’m actually excited to do one.  I’ve been finding new recipes on Pinterest that I am looking forward to trying out.

I know people are getting up set because we are already seeing Christmas commercials and Christmas stuff in the stores and November just started….but I don’t really mind.  I am trying to start getting things ready for Christmas, I would love to be early this year.  But we shall see if that really happens…

Menu Plan Monday Sept. 2

Happy Labor Day!!

We are having Baby Sid’s first birthday party this coming weekend.  And let’s be honest here.  I really have no plans for dinner.

I am still gonna have to make dinner, I know, but it will be a surprise!

Since the party is this weekend I have tons of stuff to do this week, so I know that dinners will be made on the fly.  Even if I did plan stuff, it wouldn’t get made.

The crockpot will probably get used more than once this week.

I have been making some great decorations for the party

Thank you tags for the guest gifts

Menu Plan Monday Aug 26

I have a portable high chair that I usually take to other people’s houses.  Because not everybody has a high chair at their house.  I know, shocker right?

Recently I forgot it.  Look how I improvised.
