I know, I know… Long time no post. I KNOW! OK! Gosh…. *blink. blink blink*
I’m really hoping to get back into the habit of posting. I swear I am. Life is crazy, seems more often than not, now a days – and blogging my grocery plans have just not been very high on my priority list. HOWEVER… I need to start blogging them again because, it seems, when I don’t blog them…I am less likely to stick to the plan!
So my menu for this week…

Do you plan your weeks cooking ahead of time? I do. On Sunday morning I sit down in my office and I plan out what we are going to eat all week.
Meal planning for me, really, is pretty easy. My Mr. works a weird shift at work that rotates so he is only home for dinner a few nights per week. Those nights I try to cook a NICE meal with the trimmings. I mean, he works hard and he deserves it.
On the nights Mr. C isn’t home, I still cook, but those meals are more KID FRIENDLY. Anything to lessen the amount of whining I have to listen to – WORKS. lol…
Once I have my “loose” menu made (because lets be honest here…sometimes I just don’t feel like making what’s on the list!), I head upstairs to check the pantry and fridge and make out my grocery list for the week.
Mr C likes to go shopping at like 3am when there is NO ONE in their right (or wrong) mind at Wal-Mart. Since he is used to being up all night anyway, and I hate to go to Wal-Mart this works for us. Plus, he seems to spend a lot less when he goes shopping with my list – than we do when I go shopping with my list. LOL!
So what’s on my menu for this week?
