"Well that escalated quickly." That phrase applies to SO many things right now, am I right? Normally in March Paul is on the road with sports most evenings, so I plan about two "big" meals each week and then fend for myself the rest of the week. When it's just me, I have a lot… Continue reading Two Week Meal Plan {Menu Monday 3.23.20}

Menu Monday + New Side Dish {3.9.20}
Even though my husband is a very picky eater, sometimes he surprises me! The last time I was at Aldi I noticed a new item in the Italian food section - Roasted Garlic Risotto. At less than $2 I thought it was worth a shot! I've never made risotto from scratch but I know from… Continue reading Menu Monday + New Side Dish {3.9.20}
Menu Monday + Paul’s Favorite Dessert {2.24.20}
This is actually more like two week's worth of meals instead of just one week. Sometimes we have weeks where I only end up cooking a couple times instead of 6-7 nights like I planned. I looked back on my planner this weekend and realized I only made 3 out of the seven meals I… Continue reading Menu Monday + Paul’s Favorite Dessert {2.24.20}
Menu Monday + Aldi Favorites {2.10.20}
Although this week's menu plan was not sponsored by Aldi, it looks like it could be! I've been loving their version of the Everything Bagel Seasoning, especially on Avocado Toast. During Lacrosse season I keep our fridge stocked with Aldi's pre-made salad bowls so that Paul can grab one on his way to a… Continue reading Menu Monday + Aldi Favorites {2.10.20}
Menu Monday + A New Source For Recipe Inspiration {1.20.20}

It's a great way to see a quick overview of how something is made, and… Continue reading Menu Monday + A New Source For Recipe Inspiration {1.20.20}
Menu Monday – Eating From The Pantry {1.6.20}
After eating out quite a bit over Christmas, I was happy to be at our kitchen table for supper all week long. This was the second week of a two-week Aldi haul, so we were eating from the pantry/freezer and finishing up the fresh produce I had on hand. As you'll see from my… Continue reading Menu Monday – Eating From The Pantry {1.6.20}
A Budget Friendly Menu Monday
During December I really try to keep our weekly meals as simple and inexpensive as possible. My sister shared a great tip with me recently - if she buys something for a new recipe (or an ingredient that she doesn't usually keep stocked in her pantry), she plans another meal the same week using that… Continue reading A Budget Friendly Menu Monday
