updated list of weekly meals

ok - i updated my list because in a weird way it was good accountability for me to have it posted. i knew someone might ask me how it was going, i guess. this past week - we ended up having pizza at my sister's house so I didn't make the chicken and broccoli casserole. i have all the ingredients for it so it is first on my list this week. we are on a really tight budget right now due to maternity leave so we are trying to eat as frugally (is that a word) as possible. company chicken and red beans & rice are recipes i got from my sister - and she got from her mother-in-law. i will try them out and let you know how they go - i may post them. she says they are easy and good.

my list

ok - well you all inspired me to try a meal list so I posted one. I will let you know how it goes this week. I also would like to know more about freezing meals. I am thinking about freezing some meals ahead of time for us before I go back to work - to make the transition a little easier.

My list is now added...

Phew ... it is a little intimidating to put that list up ... I don't know why! But it's good to have it up there and I'm excited about cooking this week! :)

Love the new changes to the look of the blog ... and I want that apron!

Look- I did a list!

Look Lisa, I posted my list of meals! So I bought a bag of potatoes last week (they last a while in my house w/ only 2 of us), and had roasted potatoes first, then baked potatoes, then they went into the pot roast to use them up. Then I made beef pot pie last night to use up the leftover roast. Lately my man's been gone a lot, or we've had church stuff, so I haven't been cooking as much, and these meals actually span last Tuesday through tonight.

An idea

Ok, I promise I'll post a recipe soon. I'm just so excited about picking your all's brains about meals that I can't stop thinking of questions for you all! I was wondering what you all thought about posting your meals for the week on the blog. I was making my grocery list/meals for the week today and usually what happens is I get to about Wed or Thurs and blank on ideas...already did chicken, already did pasta, already did pork, ok, what else is there?? Anyway, some of us may not plan ahead for the week, but in that case, I guess you could post after the week is over. Is this going to be too much info for everyone to read? I thought maybe we could post it on the right under the website list I added. You can go to "customize" and choose list and we could each list our weekly meals and then change them each week? Bad thing about that is after that week, the list is gone. I just didn't know if this would be too much work. Of course, I can already tell you I won't be completely consistent about it every single week, but I figure anything can help! What do you all think? Would it be worth it??
