I am glad that I didn’t plan too much as far as last week went… I ended up not making the lo mein which I planned to make and had leftovers instead. And, my “surprise meals” included dinner out, and a variation of these chicken enchiladas. All of the traveling (both to my…

Weekly Menu Plan, May 27 – June 2
We had a nice time visiting family and friends this past weekend. It was so good to see everyone! As always, there was plenty of good food, too. I made a peanut butter cake, and the recipe is headed your way soon! This week, I am traveling for work for a few days. …

Weekly Menu Plan, May 20 – May 26
Our family is facing a few crazy, busy weeks ahead… I am so thankful that menu planning has helped me prepare for things like this! Lately, I have also been trying to do what I call, “cook ahead”. When I am going to the trouble of making taco meat, for example, I go…

Weekly Menu Plan, May 13 – May 19
Last week was a bit of a blur. However, I ended up with a little extra time Saturday afternoon and whipped up a big batch of meatballs. So, instead of having a freezer meal or leftovers Saturday night, we had Swedish Meatballs instead! The other half of the meatballs went in the freezer…

Weekly Menu Plan, May 6 – May 12
Weekly menu plans are fantastic. Really. I have been menu planning for 20 weeks now… And in case you couldn’t tell, I am sold! They have completely revolutionized the way I look at cooking for my family. I really can’t believe that I wasted so much time (and money!) by waiting until about…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 29 – May 5
I had a wonderful time in Philadelphia at the NCTM Annual Conference! It was fun to learn some new things, explore a new city, eat some great food, and escape from “life” for a few days. However, I am so happy to be back! I am ready to get back in my kitchen…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 22 – Apr 28
This week’s menu plan is, well, almost non-existent! I am going to be traveling for a conference which lasts most of the week, and thus we are eating out for pretty much the entire time. We will be finishing up some leftovers at the beginning of this week, but that’s about it! Do…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 15 – Apr 21
Last week was a blur! It passed by so quickly that I didn’t get a chance to put up a new recipe post. I didn’t make the Swiss steak, as I was able to get a free pizza code from a national chain. And, we didn’t get to do steaks on the grill…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 8 – Apr 14
I tried two new recipes last week, and both seemed to be keepers! Of course, I had to put my own little spin on them, and alter them to our family’s tastes. I will probably make both of them again in the future. Speaking of your “family’s tastes”, do you frequently tweak recipes…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 1 – Apr 7
Last week, I tried two recipes that were new to us. One (Chili Cheese Dog Casserole) I think I will make again with some adjustments, and the other (Easy Garlic Chicken) needed a total overhaul in our opinion, so I won’t be making it again. Since the casserole didn’t quite hit the “chili…
