I, like may others, usually try to plan my meals for the week. And I USUALLY make all of them, but when the girls had this crazy four week cold, I admittedly bailed on a few nights of kitchen servitude.
I do LOVE to cook and I do LIKE to bake. I seemed to be baking more while everyone was sick (maybe I was willing my family better with the smell of cookies baking?) but I am now back on track this week.
Everything I list is Homemade unless I state "Store Bought" and Organic unless otherwise noted.
Last week included:
BBQ Sauce w/ Free Range Chicken Pieces, Coleslaw, Corn on the Cob
Edyta's Lasagna (new recipe for me) and Salad
So far this week:
Monday ~ Ground Turkey Taco's
Tuesday ~ Breakfast for Dinner (Bob's Mill Wholegrain Pancake Mix was awesome!)
Wednesday ~ Stuffed Cabbage, Mashed Potatoes and Salad
Thursday ~ Garlic Lemon Chicken Pasta and Salad
As you can see I am desperately trying for frugality, as well as, a basic YUM factor! :)
I have slowly worked my way up the Organic ladder over the past 4 years. To think I just started with milk for myself and now we are at about 75% Organic in our household. Not to mention we just need to eat healthier. But my LORD is it tough and it can be expensive! I fight that pull from the drive thru line every day for cheap and easy...and it isn't pretty.
It's taken me a LONG time to get to where I am right now; planning meals for the week, making sure they are healthy for family, shopping for them and carrying out the cooking process and it is some hard work! But when I see my 3 year old daughter eat the vegetables off her plate before the protein or the carbs, it makes me smile. Of course, after dinner we must have our "special treat"! :)
I am really hoping to update more often....that is if I am not cooking...
