This week I have a menu full of both delicious new recipes and simple, tried and true favorites! My quest to try new recipes over the last couple months has really helped me to branch out and to think outside the box when I'm meal planning. For example, the Double Decker Baked Quesadillas (new recipe)… Continue reading Menu Monday {4.26.21}

Menu Monday {4.5.21}
This was a delicious week of meals! I used four different proteins and found several new recipes to put in permanent rotation. I'm still working my way through all the recipes I'm finding in my new cookbook: Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats - A Year of Deliciously Different Dinners. Those are marked with an asterisk… Continue reading Menu Monday {4.5.21}
Menu Monday + More New Recipes {2.22.21}
It's Menu Monday and I have a week's worth of new recipes, including this Meatball Pizza that was delicious! The crust got special treatment with olive oil and herbs which made the whole dish taste so much better than your average pizza night. I'm still working my way through all the recipes I'm finding in… Continue reading Menu Monday + More New Recipes {2.22.21}
Menu Monday + Rachael Ray Saves the Day {3.15.21}
Even though I've spent the last 7 years sharing weekly menu plans, sometimes I get really tired of meal planning. I even got really tired of cooking. Coming up with meals for a picky eater (my husband) can be such challenge when you're not a fan of eating the same thing all the time. Thankfully,… Continue reading Menu Monday + Rachael Ray Saves the Day {3.15.21}

I Can’t Do Everything, But I Can Do Something {Homemaking Encouragement}
As a homemaker who commutes to an office job each day, I often feel like I'm just barely crossing off my weekly to-do list before it's time to flip the planner page and start a new week. There's so much more that I want to do. I want to make more snacks from scratch. I… Continue reading I Can’t Do Everything, But I Can Do Something {Homemaking Encouragement}
Menu Monday + 30 Minute Suppers {2.15.21}
I generally have an hour and a half from the time I walk in the door from work until I need to have supper ready. I take the first hour to put away anything I brought in the door with me, feed the cats, change clothes and do that day's chore (fold laundry, vacuum or… Continue reading Menu Monday + 30 Minute Suppers {2.15.21}
Menu Monday + Quick Sides from Aldi {2.1.21}
Living with a picky eater makes meal planning interesting. I could plan the same basic meals every week and my husband wouldn't mind one bit - so I guess it could make meal planning really easy. But seeing that I don't want to eat the same things all the time, it's tricky to find new… Continue reading Menu Monday + Quick Sides from Aldi {2.1.21}

This is the weekly menu I served the week before our trip to Florida. It was full of our favorites! On The… Continue reading Menu Monday {1.18.21}
My Planner Picks for 2021: Happy Planner Cat Lady
This is my 5th year to use a Happy Planner! My preference is the classic size with a vertical layout. I love that it has both the weekly spread with columns for every day and the monthly spread with the whole month on two pages. For 2021 I just had to have the Cat Lady… Continue reading My Planner Picks for 2021: Happy Planner Cat Lady
