As I mentioned in the Menu Plan post.  This month as been very busy and last week was no exception.  We had yet another trip to the doctor and another round of GI upset with the kids.  Plus we went to ANOTHER kid birthday party.

So I had to roll with the punches and didn't get much done with my list of 10 goals for last week.  Oh well,  try and try again.

So, this is what I accomplished.....or didn't accomplish last week.

Menu Plan Monday - 05/28


 
Good afternoon.  I am trying to get back on track with my posts and all.  This month has been, busy......extremely busy.  It started off with Renae's birthday party.  But we have also had 5 doctor visits and two additional parties to go to.  Plus work, swimming....well you get the picture. 

Needless to say, I am looking forward to some lazy summer days and just slowing down a little.  So, I am sticking to quick and easy this week.  Also, we will be using a lot of chicken this week.  I am trying to avoid a major grocery shop this week and instead, cook with what I have on hand. 


This Week's Menu:

Monday - BBQ Pork Chops

Menu Plan Monday - May 14, 2012


Good morning to all!  Hope that you had a great Mother's Day.  It was a beautiful weekend and so we spent a fair bit of time outdoors. The girls even went to a "splash pad" to get a little fun time in the water!  Great day was had by all. 

My garden is continuing on.  I even have one tomato growing! Whoo hoo!  I can't tell you how exciting this is for me.  Since this is my very first attempt at doing a veggie garden and all!

We have a lot on the go this week, so I tried to keep things simple, with little prep work since I will be out of the house a lot.

This Week's Menu:

Monday - My Kids Favourite Pork Chops


Wednesday - Spaghetti

Thursday - Pot Roast

Friday - Beef Fried Rice

Saturday -  Hushia

Sunday - Left Overs
