May? What?
How did that happen?
I lost the first half of April because I relapsed and ended up
sick again. The girls too. So needless to say our meal plan literally
fell by the wayside. None of us had much
of an appetite and nothing sounded good.
Plus none of us had the energy or inclination to cook. We lived off of soup, toast, eggs and oatmeal
and all the little things I had tucked away in our freezer that could easily be
reheated.

We'll have two special meals in May as well:
Mother's Day
Steak & Shrimp
Baked Potatoes
Caesar Salad
Dinner Rolls
Strawberry Shortcake
Memorial Day
BBQ Chicken
Pasta Salad
Veggie Tray
Corn
Jell-O Poke Cake
I'm really looking forward to my Mother's Day meal. As usual meal plan includes that I make
pretty much everything from scratch. I'll
make bread and rolls, salad dressings and a few desserts. Not only do these things taste better but it
save us a significant amount of money on our budget.
I have a lot of fresh fruit and veggies planned and we will take
full advantage of our farm fresh eggs as they will play a major part in several
meals throughout the month. We will have
milk and Brita filtered water to drink with our meals too. Ice water is my preferred beverage. We rarely drink soda anymore and juice in
small amounts.

Any fellow meal planners out there? Whether you are or not, what are some of your
favorites dinners to prepare for your family?
Awesome post and delicious looking meals!
ReplyDeleteI am not a monthly meal planner. I get up in the morning & think..what am I fixing today? Somedays when I say -screw it- we will have pancakes or eggs fixed with LO's. Lately it's more a 1 pot meal. Either crockpot or a pot on the stove. I start with onions sweating in a pot with water, used to be oil. Then I will add meat & lots of vegetables. Esp broccoli. Of course lots of seasonings-crushed red pepper flakes! I will call that supper.
ReplyDeleteYour one pot supper sounds pretty good and healthy too. We love to have breakfast for supper as well.
