Happy Monday! Wow, can you believe it's almost August already? Only a few more weeks of summer left and then the kids will be back in school :( I have a lot of extra meat in my freezer this week, so I'm planning my dinner menu around that. My kids requested Hubby Lovin' Chicken AGAIN, but I don't mind because not only is it very tasty, but it's super easy to make. As usual, my menu plan Continue Reading

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to another week of summer fun...and a week of ready-to-go meal plans :) We spent last week at Vacation Bible School...my son attending as a student, and my daughter volunteering. It was my daughter's second time working as a volunteer, and she loved it. She got to follow the preschoolers around all week, and was a favorite Continue Reading

Happy Monday everyone! I took last week off from posting my menu, since it was a holiday...hopefully you all had a wonderful 4th of July :) We had planned to grill some steaks, but the weather didn't cooperate...it rained quite a bit in the afternoon...so I cooked them on the stove instead and then we watched fireworks on TV. We've really been enjoying our grill over the past couple of Continue Reading

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating Father's Day :) The kids only have two more days of school left, and then we'll be in full-time summer mode. I'm really looking forward to a less hectic schedule and doing some fun things together as a family. I'm also trying to make meal plans that are a bit easier on me...things that are quick to prepare and clean up, so that Continue Reading

Happy Monday! Wow, can you believe it's June already? It will be summertime before we know it! We have one more week of absolute craziness until school is out and all the kids' activities are done for the season. This past weekend was packed full...a 5K, two football games, and working on putting out the mulch that was delivered (in a big pile in the middle of the driveway...we had to Continue Reading

Good morning and happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. My week is starting off well, since I've got my whole menu planned for the week and I won't have to stress about dinner :) Pizza is one of my kids' favorite dinners, and if you can believe it, they actually like my homemade pizza better than take-out. If you haven't tried the easy E bread recipe from THM blogger Gwen's Continue Reading

Happy Monday! The weather is starting to feel like spring might finally be here to stay, so I'm excited to try some lighter meals on my menu plan this week. I've also opted for some super easy dinners this week in order to save some time in the kitchen. Dinnertime is going to be early all week long, since my husband is working nights this week, so I'll be cooking at the same time the Continue Reading

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to kick off the new week with a healthy menu plan! I've got some easy skillet dinners on the menu this week so that I don't have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Skillet meals are my favorite because not only are they quick to make, but the clean-up afterward is easy too! The Tuscan Cream Chicken from the Trim Healthy Continue Reading

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was a good one :) We'll definitely have a good week without worrying about dinner because we have our menu plan! We're FINALLY having some nice spring weather after so many months of cold. It's not quite warm enough to grill yet, so I'll just plan for some good ol' comfort food this week. I'm looking forward to trying out a new recipe for pork tenderloin Continue Reading

We're still waiting for spring to appear here in Maryland, so I'm continuing to add some warm comfort food to our menu plan each week. This comfort food isn't complicated, however. It's perfect for busy moms that don't have a ton of time to cook every night. If you're a busy mom (who isn't??), feeling like a hamster in a wheel, menu planning each week does help take some of the pressure Continue Reading
