4/17-4/23 Menu Plan

With what I would consider last week being quite a success I am excited to plan our meals again this week!

Here is the plan:

• BBQ Packets
• Sloppy Joes & A veggie
• Creamy Chicken & Rice with broccoli
• Grab night
• Spaghetti, salad (maybe- most lettuce tastes like dirt to me right now) & garlic bread
• Frozen Dinner (before you gasp it's one I or a friend of mine made…I will try doing a post on this next week)
• Dinner with my parents

So that's the plan… hope it works as well again this week- man life is a hundred million times easier with a menu plan!

How this week's Menu Plan is going…

I am proud to say that I am actually sticking with it this week! 

We have had the following:

• 
  Stuffed Bell Peppers
• Tuna Casserole (this was the grab night item)
• BBQ Chicken, Homemade Pasta Salad…
• Homemade Pizza
• Thanksgiving Dinner

Items left:

• Mexican Bean Soup (which grrrrrrrrr I had every intention to start the beans before I left for work but forgot)-;
• Veggie/Turkey Burgers
• Dinner with my Parents

All in all things are getting marked off of the list.  I am shocked!

I did not record my grocery shopping portion of these items as I didn't have to buy much (had most of it already from previous hopes to make it!) but I have recorded the meals each night.   

Were already working on compiling our menu plan for next week and I will have it posted tomorrow.

4/9/11 to 4/16/11 Menu Plan

Can you believe this post?  It is actually a menu plan!

Granted I won't know until the week is over as to how it went but I am going to try to stick with it.  It all just depends on how I feel and what sounds good which is once again, unpredictable! 

Here are the meals I am 'planning' on for Saturday-Saturday:

• Mexican Bean Soup
• Homemade Pizza & Veggies
• Stuffed Bell Peppers
• BBQ Chicken, Homemade Pasta Salad & Grilled Potatoes with Veggies
• BBQ'd Veggie (or Turkey) Burgers, Leftover Pasta Salad & a Veggie (depends on what looks good when I go shopping!)
• Thanksgiving Dinner (Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Green Bean Casserole,  Gravy from scratch, Rolls)
• Dinner with Parents
• Grab Night (=  (I may need more of these!)

Now to see how it goes… sighhhh

Music to a Mommy's Ears!

We met with our midwife for the first time yesterday.  It was wonderful!!!

This is a still from the first time we heard this sweet little one's heart beat.  Simply Amazing.

I will post a video update tonight or tomorrow morning.  Happy Wednesday!

First BBQ of 2011

Mother Nature was kind yesterday and decided to give us a beautifully warm day.  We hadn't seen the sun in months- literally (and this grass never died... it's strange!)!

We took advantage of every second and grilled out, ate out and had a fun family night! 

Snow is supposed to be back this evening /-;
