I know I have said this before, but I’ll say it again – I am loving this monthly meal planning business! Sure it takes effort to come up with 20 different meals (factor in eating out, leftovers, and repeats), but I love at the beginning of each week that instead of saying “grilled cheese AGAIN,” [...]

Eek! Second week in a row with a menu posted on Monday! I’m loving this monthly meal planning business! Breakfasts: As usual, rotating between eggs and oatmeal. And our “exciting” breakfast of the week is Amish Oatmeal Bake. (I know MSM calls it by a different name, but this is just what I naturally call [...]

It’s Monday! And I actually have our menu all planned out. Can you believe it??? It’s all because of that monthly meal planning challenge! Woohoo! So here’s our week in meals… Breakfasts: Like always, we love rotating between eggs (scrambled or fried) and oatmeal. This week I also thought I’d add something new to the [...]

I’m trying to be more thorough on our menu, since I know many of you must wonder how we actually live on $280/month grocery budget ($220, if you don’t count toiletries, etc). Sooo in an effort to be more helpful in that area, here’s what our menu has looked like this week. Breakfasts: We pretty [...]

Well you’ve probably seen that Lilleigh’s birthday was this week and that we had more than enough food for her party, AND on top of that, we have fam in and out over the next few weeks to come see the birthday girl. {Crazy yet fun!} Soooo this is a bit unique in that I [...]

The last few days have been a little rough around here! On Tuesday Lilleigh was cranky all day… which made me cranky. {Or perhaps it was the other way around? Viscous cycle.} We couldn’t seem to get it together. And to top off the day, she spent a half hour crying before bed, which made [...]

Again, it’s taken me all week to post! Mainly because I’ve had a few straggler meals I’ve been trying to decide on… yes, it’s clear out the pantry/fridge week! Lunches: Lots of leftovers – tomato basil soup, salad, quiche Also added into the mix – grilled cheese and brawts *If you follow me on Facebook, [...]

Can you believe I’m actually posting the menu at the beginning of the week? Ha! Here’s what our week of meals looks like… Meals: Fadi’s, using the Juice in the City voucher …I don’t really love Mediterranean food, but hubby does, which is why I bought it. B, I hope you feel loved! (No? Gifts [...]

Again pardon the tardiness. If you use my menu boards as menu inspiration, use this for next week! It’s been a difficult week with the baby… a lot of clinginess! So I’ve been tweaking the menu throughout the week. So most of these are easy to do with a fussy infant. Awesome! Meals: Tomato basil [...]

Woohoo! It’s a new year! And in the midst of trying to get our year off to a great and organized start, it’s taken me all week to post our menu. Oh well! Maybe this can help some of y’all still! Here’s what we are having… Meals: All-natural apple chicken sausage (another reason I love [...]
