So there ya have it!!! It is so easy to make a menu! Well, sometimes not so easy with me, because I am always trying to find new and fun things, easy too! But yet, things that I already have so my grocery list isn't a mile long!

The thing about this week is, I only have to get 5 ingredients! Yes, just FIVE!!! i have all the other things already! I have been buying bags of beans when they are 10 for $10! ;) But as promised, I will go to the store and price everything out, just so you can see how much my menu is this week! You will see just how much you can save by eating beans, but still the get the protein and it isn't going to bland! :)

Will be posting as much I can this week these recipes as I make them! My hubs is in Guatemala for the week, so will see how fast I get them up here! My mom is almost here and will be here until Thursday... so I "SHOULD" be able to get them up here, but about the time I say that.... ;)

Again, let me know if you want one of these recipes before I post, I will get it to you! :)

Bean Week!

Ok, so I'm gonna do it! I am going to have all bean recipes this week! Atleast for supper! I am not sure about the lunch part yet! ;) But we may have leftovers, so therefor it will be for lunch as well!

I just can't get over how CHEAP they are! You can get the canned ones, if you need something fast... But I HIGHLY recommend buying the bag of dried beans and soak them and cook them! They really aren't that hard!

I know need to go and figure out everything I am making this week! I am hoping to get some MUCH needed things done! My mom is on her way out!! She will be here for a few days! :)

Once I figure out my menu, I will post it and then if you want to know the recipe before I post the recipe, e-mail me, or post a comment on here and will get it to you!

I think for the Friday nite or Saturday nite menu, it will be a Mexican type pizza using beans instead of meat! ;)
