Bite Number Five: {Resume} Menu Planning For those of you who have been around for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’ve been menu planning off and on here for a couple of years now, but I’ve never been consistent with it. That being said, menu planning is not a new concept to me. … Continue reading
I haven’t made a meal plan since the end of January, and you know what? I miss it. I miss not knowing what I’m going to make for dinner each day, because doing it on the fly at 4pm is just not my thing. This past weekend I decided to check out Plan To Eat*, … Continue reading
I didn’t make a meal plan this week. I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants each afternoon, looking in my cupboards and asking myself, What can I do with what I’ve got? Because I also haven’t done any significant grocery shopping in a few weeks, other than the purchase of a few fresh … Continue reading
I did not stick to last week’s menu plan 100%. But we also did not go out to eat even once. Is that a success? Indeed. We ended up eating leftovers for two nights because 1- I was too lazy to make the meal and 2- we had a ton of leftovers because I tend … Continue reading
Or Menu Plan Wednesday, as the case may be. While I planned out this week’s menu on Saturday, I haven’t sat down to do any posting, which is probably pretty evident by now. I’ve decided that this year I’m not going to attempt to meal plan an entire month at a time, but rather in … Continue reading
I was mostly successful last week. Tony and I had a couple evenings where we were out unexpectedly late, one of which lent itself to the drive-through at 8pm and the other in which we did leftovers from the fridge. And then on Friday I went out with friends while Tony and The Critters were … Continue reading
I still haven’t figured out what to do with myself and The Critters when Tony’s not home on weekends. While we’ve never been the type to plan every minute of our Saturdays and Sundays, we usually always spend them together as a family. When he’s not in town I find myself at a loss. I’ve … Continue reading
Last week’s menu plan was a bust. A total bust. I never got to the grocery store on time to make the lasagna and instead we had pan grilled chicken; on Tuesday I made pan grilled pork with sweet potato tots, broccoli, and crescent rolls instead of taco soup. On Wednesday I went for honey … Continue reading
So, it’s Monday AND it’s September. Now that Brenna’s back in school and Anthony starts back this week (yay!) and life will hopefully be falling into a more predictable routine I both need and will be able to better stick to a menu plan. Hopefully. As we sat down to Tony’s breakfast of oat & … Continue reading
Can I tell you how excited I am to get back to menu planning? I haven’t done a full menu plan since April, before we left for our Big Trip. That’s THREE MONTHS ago. Geez. My sister mentioned that she can’t stand the thought of knowing what she’s going to have to eat a week … Continue reading
