I love to cook! I love everything about cooking...
planning meals, shopping, preparing, eating... Okay, I don't like everything about it
because I hate cleaning up the kitchen. Give me a vacuum any time but I do not *do*
dishes!

I will be putting recipes here as well as our
weekly menu plan and a grocery checklist for those who hate meal planning!
Ever feel
like all you hear all day is "what's to eat?" The simple solution is a menu plan!
~ Do you find yourself wondering what to make for dinner at 5:00PM? ~ How often do you resort
to "junk" convenience food or take out? ~ Do you make frequent trips to the grocery store
for a last minute item that you need?
Take a few minutes each week to sit down and plan
all your meals for the week, including snacks. Use this list to make your grocery list.
I like to do this on Tuesday and shop on Wednesday. Does this sound like more effort than
you can handle? Call on the kids! Ask the kids, and hubby what they're favorite meals are and keep
going until you have a week's worth! Next put everyone to bed, make yourself a cup of tea and
make out your grocery list.

This week's menu plan
My husband and I eat fruit until noon and so the breakfasts listed here
are what the children eat. I do not eat the snacks,either.
We have a mid-morning snack as well but it is always fruit so I have not
made a note of it here.
