Menu Monday

Good Evening Blog-o-sphere,

I did a whole lot of coupon clipping today and not much else, so I figured I should at least do some menu planning. This week's menu is as follows:

Monday: Taco Pasta - It was a "see what's in the cabinet and throw it in a pan" kind of night. Easy peasy. Ground hamburger, green chilis, taco seasoning, ancho chili powder, tomato puree, medium pasta shells. Cook. Mix. Serve. Enjoy.

Tuesday: BUCA!

Wednesday: Beer Lime Chicken

Thursday: Leftover Taco Pasta

Friday: Leftovers

Saturday: AVENGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday: Perhaps Grill Food (burgers, hot dogs, chicken sausage, potatoes)

Menu Monday /// (ish)

I know, I get on a roll and then I fall off the bandwagon of menu planning. 
So, to catch up, here is my menu for the week!

Baking Day!

Good Morning Blog-o-sphere!


After weeks of being a bum, I have decided to take this day by the horns and DO SOMETHING! So far, I have baked banana bread (yum!), made french bread (first time for this recipe in the bread machine). Dinner will be Skinny Scalloped Potato Gratin.


As you know (close friends and family), I was laid off nearly a month ago. The transition from full time worker to unemployed has been weird (for lack of a better adjective). At first I went on a cleaning and organizing rampage, then I sat on the couch for 2 weeks #fail. This week I will be becoming a frugal-ista. All meals will be out of our fridge/freezer/pantry. I avoided going to the store last week and would like to avoid it this week as well. We are still unsure of when the unemployment checks are to be cut, so we have cut WAY back on all extra expenditures. I am doing my part to drive as little as possible and to end all of my online shopping #sadbutnecessary.


Mark and I have been absolutely humbled by the outpour of support by our friends and family. We are SO SO appreciative and we love you all. That being said, if you know anyone looking for a marketing coordinator/public relations specialist/event coordinator - I'm your gal! :-)

Planning for the Month

Hello!

This past weekend my dear sister-in-law, Roselyn, and I tried some freezer cooking this weekend. We followed the instructions we found on Pinterest via The Test Kitchen of Melissa Fallis. We will be trying the Teriyaki chicken tonight, hopefully we like it!

When we put all the food into the freezer, I took inventory of all the remaining food in our freezer and made a menu for the month. Hopefully this will help us stay organized and maybe even save a bit of money in the process!

xoxo,
Mrs. A
