Looks like I'll be doing a whole lot of baking this week. Much more than is the norm for me. Unfortunately, it's supposed to be in the 70's all week, instead of the crisp weather we should be having this time of year. Especially since the oven will be pumping out the heat and there is clam chowder on the menu!

The last menu plan I put together was just... s [...]

Well, this week includes Halloween! My parents will be coming in town for the weekend and will get to spend it with our kids for the first time. We'll be keeping it simple that night making some fancy grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup - a classic. Something to fill their tummies before all of that candy. Gavin said that he wants to trick-or-treat at one hundred hou [...]

Lots of new recipes I've been wanting to try on the menu this week. I went through my huge pile of recipe clippings and threw out a lot of stuff that didn't look good anymore. I also threw out the recipes I was able to find online and add to my virtual recipe box. So, I do feel a lot more organized. The pile is smaller... but it still looks like something I'll neve [...]

Looks like I'll be putting my crock pot to work this week. I really didn't plan it, honest. Just worked out that way. While planning this week's menu, I was thinking about how I tend to be drawn to recipes that use condensed soup. I'm not sure why that is - because they are usually easy-sounding? Yummy-sounding? I know it isn't the healthiest ingredient, bu [...]

Alright, so I was a complete menu planning slacker last week and didn't prepare one. I suppose that it's going to happen once in awhile. I'm only human. And a very busy human at that. I did miss not having a plan. I really did. We ended up scrambling around at the last minute trying to figure out what to feed the kids (and ourselves). As a result, we had much l [...]

Well, last week's noteworthy recipes were the Beef Enchiladas and the Mexican Bean salad. The salad was wonderful, much like a traditional marinated bean salad with a kick. The leftovers were great used as a chunky "dip" with tortilla chips. The enchiladas were loved by both Brett and the kids. Brett and Gavin are not fans of tomatoes, especially the canned variety. S [...]

So, I found this fun new meme that I thought I'd try out. It's run by a mom over at orgjunkie.com. The concept is that if you plan your menu for the week ahead of time, you will save money and enjoy healthier meals. She lists 13 reasons why she does a weekly menu plan, and it makes a lot of sense. It's something that I actually do already, although not necessarily on Mondays. But I shoul [...]
