SHEs Organized

It is Pizza Nite here.
Salad too.
Lunch salad and cookie.
Last nite soup.

When my kids were young I had them plan a meal and cook one nite a week dson us a great cook! This freed up time for me and eased up some guilt on date night.

One crock pot meal a week gives left overs and helps especally when I had an extra long day of granny duty. Eating at home helps if family members like me have dietary restrictions.

Great job d nancy!!!

tonight: pasta ree drummond (baked ziti - http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2012/11/baked-ziti/ ... it was okay - makes a whole lot and typical for spaghetti faire - probably good for a group ,

tonight: oscar night - ours is spent watching the red carpet and the show so tonight is salad (lyonnaise), fruit kabobs lol to make it fancy, I also have prepackaged artichoke dip and veggies cut.

sent out food prep to outside families

I am trying to cut my food bill - and now that d temporarily adopted son is in his new place lol I think its possible. I feel for families trying to eat vegetables and fruit because they cost so much... I wish and want, those who can, to ship vegetables and fruits to food deserts on a regular basis. I was shocked on how much of my food bill is now vegetables and fruit.

Sausage meat pies for breakfast.
Left overs for one meal.
Meat balls another meal.
Chicken fries for lunches this week at some point.

sounds lovely d nancy!!!

last night we had zucchini pie (recipe from d mil) http://bernadettesgranddaughter.blogspot.com
cauliflower with chives

tonight: beef in guinness - we did not like this. I used the only guinness i could find... extra stout... give me red or white wine anytime
salad

tonight:
-sea bass in foil with butter/capers, shallots, parsley, lemon
-potato slices topped with tapenade (really easy to make: jar of no stone kalamata olives drained, 2 garlic rough chop, 2 green onions sliced, 3 Tbl capers,
a squeeze of anchovy paste, 1/4 tsp pepper (pinch) - throw in food processor to the consistency you like - rough chop or smoother. - I add tomato paste sometimes for something different)
-cucumber salad

I have a couple of ideas for meals.
Chicken or pizza

both sound wonderful d nancy
