Month of Meals

*sorry it's small. I will work on making it larger*

This is one great tool I use to be able to buy my groceries once a month. As you can see it's in pencil. I don't follow it to a tee I adjust things depending on how I am feeling, But I do always know that I have things in stock. I usually pull things from the freezer two nights before so they are defrosted. Since it's so small I will list the meals below:

grill cheese, BLT's, pasta and meat sauce, pizza, chicken nuggets/tots, rib eyes/fries, calizones, chicken bake, lasagna, hamburgers/fires, taco's, mac-n-cheese, sausage/porgies, pork chops/rice, prime rib/potatoes
We eat out on Thursday's and if we decide not to I will bring something home. On Tuesday's we eat left overs I work until 7.

2nd full week of meal plans and monthly shopping

still going strong.

I only have had to go to the store for milk!!! I feel like I have saved so much time and money. I don't have to stop after work and buy things that I wasn't planning on. I am prepared the night before on getting things out for the next day's meal.
I can't believe November is right around the corner. I have started a rough draft of menu's and a shopping list. I host Thanksgiving so this month I have a little more planning. I find that Thanksgiving or any Holiday the cooking relaxes me. I make my lists of what I need, what I will make, times to start and when they will get done (I am a list person I live by my list when I am planning a party or a event).

Next weekend I am having our annual Halloween/birthday bash. My husband's birthday is 10/31 it's a great time to get together with friend and a great reason to have a party.

MARCH- week 1

I stated in a previous post that I want to dedicate every month to a topic. March is my first official month that I have dedicate and it is going to be healthy habit month.

Healthy habits means to me making good choices to help maintain a healthy life style. Everyone knows that when you eat good food you feeling good. When you exercise you feel good not only physically but mentally.

In the last several months several things have changed for me...it has opened my eyes that I need to live everyday to make me happy! I love being in charge of my life and this is one more thing that I know I can achieve!!!

In the coming weeks I will try my best to find new healthy good tasting recipes. I am going to try some Hungry girl recipes and try adjusting current recipes that I use everyday.

I will keep you posted on the upcoming recipes!!!

***I am NOT a health expert in ANY means***but over the years I have learned some tricks/habits that have helped me. like everyone I just need helpful reminders****
