Didn’t I just do this? Oh yeah, that was last week. It seems like the weeks just roll around faster than I can get the dishwasher loaded and unloaded sometimes. Am I ever glad we’re finally in a new month! This week’s menu is more enticing to me than last week’s. Here goes:

As menus go, this week’s is not very exciting. We are at the end of a very long month, and I can tell it when I look at both our pantry and our grocery budget. However, as Steady Eddie reminded me just this evening, this is the first month since I’ve become a SAHM that [...]

I’m not overly excited about menu planning this week because A.) sometimes even I get tired of cooking and B.) we’re reaching the end of a very, very long month in which both the grocery budget and the pantry are getting frighteningly close to empty. However, I will brace up and carry on. After reading so many [...]

I usually do not mention the previous week’s menu once I begin planning for a new week, but I simply must mention last week’s chicken pesto pizza. It was DELICIOUS! I loved it so much, I’m putting it on the menu again for this week! Here’s what our week looks like:

This is the first week since the week before Christmas that our schedule will be almost normal. While I really love vacation time, I also look forward to getting back on a schedule. I missed menu planning last week because I knew the week would be somewhat unpredictable. I really missed it, though, so [...]

Steady Eddie begins his Christmas vacation on Tuesday, so the next few weeks will be sort of out of our normal routine, making menu planning a little more difficult than usual. I’m going to go ahead and do my menu plan as usual this week, but I am going to try to keep in mind [...]

This is another hectic week for us due to Steady Eddie’s work schedule and obligations. This week I’m trying to not spend too much money on groceries due to my goal of spending $200 or less on groceries this month. I bought some of what I plan to cook on sale last week, so hopefully [...]

The next two weeks will be rather crazy around our house due to Steady Eddie’s plethora of work-related meetings, etc., so our menus will be rather flexible. I also hope that Monday we can take our first ever trip to the Christmas tree farm and pick out our very first real, live Christmas tree. I [...]

Is anyone else ready to forget the rich, decadent foods of the Thanksgiving holiday and get back to your normal weekly fare? I am! This week’s menu is about as plain as one can get, with plenty of opportunities for eating leftovers thrown in. Here’s what we’re having this week:
Monday: crockpot beef roast, carrots, and [...]

I’m a little late with my menu plan today. We had a hectic weekend. Steady Eddie and I sponsor our church’s Bible quiz team, so we took about ten children to a competition 2 1/2 hours away from home on Saturday. On Friday, a very beloved member of our congregation had died after having a [...]
