This week is a busy week.  I have a lot going on at work and in my life.  I have a bazaar at work, I am headed at the end of the week to a wedding in Dallas leaving my husband to do the running with the kids.  Plus my daughter is preforming in a play on Sunday.   I need to meal plan which I have not been doing any regularity lately causing me to be very disorganized.

My meal planing this week is all about easy because of how much I have to get done.  Easy for my self and my husband is super important.  also Tuesday night I have to make a pot of my  Split pea soup for the Bazaar.

I really also want to tell you about what else I have been up to.  I am still sewing and making superhero capes.   Check out BABYPOP (for your custom capes starting at $17 for custom letter, color, and logo they make great Christmas gifts.

Menu Planning Monday

This past week I realized old habits come back easy.  After several years of lean budgets which became a strong family bond of at home meals. Since I went back, my old going out to eat habit is back,  So I need to get back to meal planing.  when I come home with no meal plan it is easy to say lets go out.  Which adds up to $$$ and a tough hit to our wallet.  So I meal planed for this entire week.  My key is for me to be excited about the yummy goodness of what I am making.  Then I also like finding get deals on the ingredients, so I scoured the supermarket fliers to complied the shopping list. So I spent $58 on the meals below plus snacks.   I am excited to be back planning.

With the heat I am also using my crock pot to avoid the heat in the kitchen and dinner is done when I get home.
