Wow! Seriously? I have NO time! I have all these grand ideas and thoughts and promises that I WILL do better at posting recipes, but I have failed yet again! :\
I really do try to get in here, but by the time the end of the nite comes around when I CAN post something, I am sitting on the couch with my hubs and we are watching a movie... Oh and guess what? I USUALLY fall asleep before the movie is over! WOW, big shocker there!
So my attempt at staying off the computer to stay awake to watch a movie with him, well, it fails... If I am on the computer while watching a movie, I am doing no-brainer things on here... So trying to think and write a recipe blog, yeah, that doesn't count! ;) But I am really proud of myself for this week and part of next weeks menu! I went to Aldi and got what I need, all 70 some items for only 100 bucks! Yeah, seriously, how AWESOME is that!!?!?! Plus, I got a few things that I didn't "need" but knew my hubs would like for a snack! I also bough 3 frozen pizzas! I know, HUGE shock there! I've have COMPLETELY stayed away from already fixed frozen foods! I know, the convenience is GREAT and some nites it would be AWESOME, but I have been really trying to cook all my meals from home, not only are they healthy, but they are WAY cheaper! I am all about cheap!
I don't have all my lunches planned out, but those doesn't always stay the same! I am thinking a tuna wrap here and there and some hummus wraps would be a good lunch! :) Also, if we have any leftovers, that would be our lunch as well!
So, here is my menu from now until the 2nd! :) I still don't have anything planned for tonite, but I'll find something! ;)
