After planning the menu for the week yesterday, I knew I was going to cook Salisbury Hamburger Helper tonight. Early this afternoon I got the idea to make it in the slow cooker. I did a quick Google search to get an idea if it would work without messing it up. I found a couple […]
Menu Plan Monday
One of Andrew’s assignments for Cub Scouts this week was to help plan a week of meals as part of the Fitness badge requirement. We had a great time discussing options and deciding together what to make this week. This just might become a regular thing! Also, since it was a “Fitness” requirement, we discussed […]
Tamale Pie
Tamale pie is one of my childhood favorites, and I really don’t make it enough considering how cheap and easy it is to put together. It uses a bag of Doritos. I just use some kind of cheese flavor. Back before they had so many choices, I used the regular cheese kind. However, now they […]
Menu Plan Monday
I have not posted a Menu Plan nor anything else to this blog in what seems like forever. In reality, it’s only been a couple months. The summer has been busy with traveling due to family issues as well as a huge move. More on all of that later. Right now I’m busy getting settled […]
Menu Plan Monday
So I haven’t really been following these menu plans to the letter the last couple of weeks. Too much going on. And too many leftovers to justify cooking another whole meal. I still haven’t made the beans. Mostly because I keep forgetting to soak them. I wish I had thought to last night though. Because […]
Menu Plan Monday
I just realized I never posted a menu plan last week. I blame my infected thumb. Between that and deadlines, I totally forgot. I don’t even remember eating, but I’m sure we did. Andrew would have let me know if we hadn’t. I’m almost sure of it. My stomach probably would have too. It tends […]
Menu Plan Monday
Because of recent events, I haven’t posted a menu plan for a while. I’m trying, once again, to get back into the routine. Last time I posted a menu plan I had planned corned beef. I actually made that in the crock-pot the day my sister died. Obviously we didn’t end up eating it that […]
Homemade Convenience Foods
Saving Money By Eating At Home In today’s society, many families find they barely have enough time to get through the weekdays taking care of the numerous activities that need to be done. Children need to be dressed, fed and off to school or a baby sitters. Parents are either rushing around trying to get […]
Menu Plan Monday
I totally blew last week’s menu plan. Well not totally I guess, I stuck to it the first half of the week. Then the rest was mostly chili leftovers. And I bought a frozen pizza on Sunday. We didn’t end up going anywhere for the Super Bowl and watched it at home just the two […]
Menu Plan Monday
I stuck to last week’s menu plan half the week with one exception. We ended up having chicken tacos instead of enchiladas on Wednesday. The rest of the week I wasn’t feeling well and forgot to prepare the beans. So we had leftovers Thursday and Friday. And then Saturday we had dinner at a friend’s […]
