Sunday Meal Plan

With a Full time job and a Full time family life can be a bit crazy some times
but the one thing I never have to worry about is whats for dinner.
When the hubby and I got married we started a budget and "meal planning" neither of us had ever shared a bank account and we needed some help so each sunday we write out a meal plan and a grocery list and then hit the store. We have two sets of criteria

1. Each meal must cost less then 12 dollars
2. Each meal must be able to be cooked in 30 mins or less

So in hopes of writing all the meal plans down to use later and sharing them with you Sunday will now be the "Meal Plan"

Monday -Salsa Chicken
Tuesday -Pizza
Wedesday-Tacos
Thursday-Pot Pies
Friday-Hamburgers
Saturday-Lasungua
Sunday-Box Dinner

Grocery list
-pkg 3 chicken breast
-pkg 4 cup shredded cheese
-1 can of mild salsa
-1 pepperoni pizza
-1pkg of tortillas
-1pkg taco casarole
-2 pot pies
-1pkg of hamburgers
-1pkg of bread
-1pkg lasungua noodles
-1can prego sauce
-1pkg 8 cup mozerrela cheese
-1pkg pepperoni

Squirmy's Birthday Blanket

I finished my third quilt about three weeks ago and it is definately getting better!



for this blanket I chose to use fleece and flannel and some of that bumpy fleece.



fleece and flannel where a little bit harder to work with and I learned very quickly if you iron the bumpy fleece you get non bumpy fleece.
