Meal Plan Friday (Just this once)

I saw this on another blog and thought it was an interesting idea. To help keep me accountable to my budget (and my hopefully shrinking waistline!), here's our meal plan for the upcoming week.

1/2/09 - Company Chicken with steamed rice and parmesan broccoli

1/3/09 - Smackaroni and Cheese and fruit

1/4/09 - Silly Greek Chili

1/5/09 - leftovers (since we may have Bible Study and my first day back at work after 2 weeks) (mac and cheese or chili)

1/6/09 - leftovers (since we may have Bible Study) (mac and cheese or chili)

1/7/09 - Mexican Pizza

1/8/09 - Kickin' Chicken and steamed carrots

1/9/09 - OUT (only once per week!)

All of these recipes (except the company chicken) come from a cookbook my mom gave me for Christmas called "Eat, Shrink, and Be Merry" by Janet and Greta Podleski. You can check out the Amazon listing here.

I try to plan out our meal every week so that I can shop efficiently. I think I might make this a regular installment here on the blog: Meal Plan Mondays. I like that!

Happy Eating!

Happy New Year!

2009 is here!

I have several things rattling around in my head but I don't think I'll be able to get them out today. I have lots of goals I've been thinking about as I approach the New Year and one of them is to try to post more on my blog. I would like to post at least once a week so we'll try that for January and then see how it goes from there. I'm not considering this to be my post for this week so I'll probably post again before I go back to work on Monday.

Until then, Happy New Year!
