Let's hear it

Was also wondering..who does meal plans and do you stick to them? What's your weekly budget for groceries and how has it changed now that we're getting closer to the 18 month mark?

I'm doing mini meatloaves, potatoes and steamed carrots yummm.

Hubby made pot roast veggies and whipped sweet potatoes

We are a family of 3 to early to tell I love cooking but don't really meal plan

Hmmmm. Cereal and wine for us and mac and cheese from a box for the kids. Haven't thought about it to tell you the truth. But I've cooked all week and am taking the night off tonight.

Are your inlaws as awesome as mine?

I was telling MIL about Andrei (the guy who is missing) and FIL butts in and screams "Oh he's shark bait! Shark bait! Hahahaha" I wasn't even surprised.

So yes, yes they are. ::rolling eyes hard::

Dh and I are having appetizers now. In other words we opened the wine.

Well he didn't call him shark bait but he did have a long drawn out theory. "He's just another Bermuda Triangle statistic"

But I had white sangria, prime rib, and a baked potato. It was mehhhh.

I saw on the news again this morning. I say a prayer for your family everytime there is a report.

I am trying to plan my meals better because we are trying to eat healthier. Last week I stuck to my meal plan exactly. I put a lot of thought in to last week and this week I just picked 5 or 6 meals quickly before I went to the grocery store. I already cant figure out what meal I want to make tonight because I failed to thaw my meats last night.

I try to meal plan, but don't as much as I should. I do like to double or triple recipes and then freeze half. Tonight MH is making sloppy joes, salad on the side. Tomorrow I'm doing green chicken chili. Both making huge amounts and freezing some for later.

mMm I decided to throw some chicken breast in the crockpot with balsamic vinegar, onions and garlic and it is making the house smell delicious! On the side I am trying something new, roasting cauliflower and garlic then mashing it like mashed potatoes. I hope they turn out yummy.

Leftover baked ziti and caesar salad is what we had. I have so many leftovers from having my parents here that I think I'm set for the week. I cooked a lot while they were here.

I don't meal plan per se, but I keep a list of the meals we rotate and try to have all those ingredients on hand 75% of the time so I always have a choice of what to make. I'm about to start nutrisystem though so I don't know what I'm going to do for the boys. Probably cook stuff in bulk and freeze, but also do some simpler meals than I currently do.
