{In The Kitchen} Menu Plan For March 11-March 17

My husband is out of town a good chunk of the week (he's in D.C. advocating for education - how cool is that?). I'm taking this as an opportunity to eat the stuff *I* want to eat. LOL. Monday Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup (I made this a few weeks ago and it was divine.) Tuesday Baked spaghetti (my first time trying it with rice noodles) Wednesday Breakfast for dinner! Waffles (this is … [Continue reading...]

My Menu Plan: January 7-13

In sitting here, trying to put together this menu plan for the week, the magnitude of everything just kind of hit me. I have to feed these kids every day. Not just some days but every day. One of my goals for 2013 is to cut back on how much we spend eating out (which we do around twice a month) but in order to do that, I actually need to cook more. And that makes me sad. While I love cooking, … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner December 31-January 6

I have to say, this winter break has been wonderful. My husband has been home the past week and a half, I've been catching up on much needed sleep, and I've been enjoying not having to venture out in the freezing cold to take my kids to school. We've been cuddling up inside, with hot chocolate and lots of baked goods — our life really resembles some type of fairy tale life, that I wish we could … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner December 24-December 30

Christmas is finally here! I feel like this is my favorite time of the year and the joy continues all the way until January 2. And after that? The joy fades a bit and life goes on until the next holiday. But for now, I'm enjoying baking cookies with my kids every other day and hibernating under the covers like a bear every chance I get. Here's what we're eating this week  - please share your menu … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What We’re Eating: December 17-23

Twas the week before Christmas and not a single present was purchased. Oops. Seeing as how I just turned in my final exam and the revisions on my thesis (which probably needs at least one more round of edits, ugh), Christmas has been the furthest thing from my mind. But since Christmas is literally just around the corner, I probably need to get on the ball with this, huh? To help me out, … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner: December 11-December 16

So this week's menu plan is late. Again. I swear I need 2013 to hurry up and get here because in 2012? My energy is SHOT. I need that "new year, new you" spirit to come over me right about now and get me excited about all this stuff I still have to do. Jesus be some enthusiasm!! So without further ado, here is my menu plan for the week. Feel free to steal some ideas or add your own in the … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What We’re Eating November 26 to December 2

Thanksgiving took a lot out of me. LOL. I cooked for two days straight in preparation and I'm still (three days out) kind of at the point where I don't want to look at another pot or pan for at least another week. But these people in my house, they get hungry, you see. So cook I must. Ugh. Here is this week's meal plan. I'm trying to get away from "Thanksgiving-y" types of food because I've … [Continue reading...]

My Husband Put Me On A Diet…

...in advance of our life insurance physical this weekend. They'll be checking our blood pressure and cholesterol and all that good stuff, so my husband suggested we both take it easy this week on "bad food." Right when I start craving brownies, too. Hmph! So he made our meal plan. It is the most boring meal plan I have ever seen! LOL. But hey, he cares about us so who am I to judge? We went … [Continue reading...]
