Week of November 7 Menu

This week I decided I needed to add an event column at the bottom of my menu. That way I know at a glance what we have going on that day. It should help me to remember why I am using the crockpot that day ( super busy day planned) and help remind me to prepare some things for future meals ahead of time. I usually put little notes, like *make bread, to help remind me to do that for an upcoming meal. That way, I don’t start pulling together a sandwich just to realize I have forgotten to make bread! grrr…

Also, I have a confession…we ate out WAY too much this week. I was a little stressed over going to the doctor, and waiting on test results…When I am stressed I tend to really lose focus. Excuses, Excuses.. But those times we ate out added up to close to a months worth of a grocery budget! So this week my goal is to not eat out except for the couple of times that we have planned.

Next week I hope to get in a couple of days of freezer cooking to prepare for the upcoming holidays. Have any of you girls tried cooking one day to freeze meals for an entire month? Well, I won’t exactly be doing that. But I will be getting a few things ready for the holidays. Think along the lines of quick breads, rolls, pie crusts, cranberry sauce.. I plan on making a few meals that will be healthy and quick when I need an easy meal.

Get your vacuum sealers ready ladies!
