Meal Plan

All week I was looking on this website for menu ideas and suggestions to make life a little easier.  Well I found it!  Make meals ahead and freeze!  Simply perfection!  I made my menu plan on Friday night, went to the store Saturday morning and started cooking that night and finished Sunday.  I found this ladies blog through my sisters new blog, which also can be inspiring and motivating to get things done around the house.

So, I prepared peanut butter sandwiches, ham and cheese Stromboli  breakfast sandwiches, pre-cut cheese for crackers, 2 frozen pizzas, I froze all that...plus made another pizza to eat for dinner Saturday and turkey bacon ranch wrap for dinner last night (homemade soft bread wrap with this).  I was in the kitchen a lot, but I'm hoping/thinking that by doing this it will allow me time to do other things and not be in the kitchen too much during the week.  On a typical weekday, I forget to eat breakfast because I'm busy getting the kids eating, cleaning them up, changing diapers.  Time gets away from me in the mornings!  It's usually around lunch time that I remember I hadn't ate.  Not good!  So, these breakfast sandwiches will be handy!  I already ate today :)  Only took 1.5 minutes in the microwave to have a nice hot sandwich.  The best part...it's all natural, no preservatives or additives   And it's only 270 calories.  

I hope we can stick to this because it will be so much easier once school starts back next month and later in life when the kids are older and in activities.  Just really smart to start doing and getting used to.

Here's to a more simplified life this week (and hopefully longer)!

Have a great day!
