Tackle it Tuesday: Baking

Posted in Homemaking

Last night, while munchkin was at gymnastics, D informs me that we don’t have anything for his lunch other than the actual lunch. In other words, he needs some snackage.

Several things have been accomplished that probably wouldn’t have gotten done otherwise. So, thank you Mrs. Wilt for the challenge. Today, I need to take out the recycling. I have several bags of newspaper (nicely organized), but they still need to go as well as the bag of cans. I also need to finish a craft project with munchkin that I’ve been meaning to finish up, but haven’t…

Meal Plan Monday

Posted in Homemaking

I do my meal plans a little different than many. I prefer to have a list of items (usually on a dry erase board in the kitchen) that we will have to eat for supper during the week. Each day, I pick out what we’ll be having from that list based upon what is going on that day. Here’s the menu for this week: 1. Baked Mac ‘n Cheese 2. Grilled Cheese and Soup 3. Spaghetti 4. Steak with veggies 5. Loaded Potatoes 6. Tacos 7. Cheesesteaks
