Menu Monday

This is our first week of SUMMER BREAK!! Wahoo! I am so looking forward to waking up WITHOUT having school on the to do list! :) {Although, now I guess I can’t put off next year’s curriculum choices much longer, though, huh?} I am so ready for the lazy, hazy days of summer! The days…

Menu Monday

This was a caaaa-razy weekend.  We had so much going on.  I celebrated my *ahem* birthday, had a fun Easter Party, and then ate our hearts out at Nana’s house for Easter Dinner. Needless to say we were wiped out, and since we weren’t home for the afternoon I did NOT get a chance to…

Menu Monday

Apparently, we are a roll.  The bad news is eventually the “roll” has to end, right? I’m hoping it won’t be this week.  The ridiculously time consuming Chicken Rolls turned out pretty well with a significant nod from Chris.  He gave them “once a week” status. Though he did say that with a  mischievous twinkle…

Menu Monday

Last week’s menu was a BIG HIT!  Haylee loves to “rate” my meals each night, and I think most of the week’s meals got 3 stars or more!  She has been doing better at being less picky {knock on wood} but our Wild Wade loves to make dinnertime a challenge. I know he’s only 3,…

Menu Monday

I don’t want to jinx it, but… I’m really enjoying menu planning. I have a system and it’s working.  I can do almost anything if I can find a good system with simple steps to follow.  :)  I’m all about the systems and lists and all that, you know.  Right now my system involves Planning…

Clothespin Crockpot update…

I know you were sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear the results of my clothespin experiment, so I thought I would fill you in! It was easy peasy! I took it out of the ziploc bag and stuck in right in the crockpot… Then I just removed the clothespin and spread…
