I am a pretty deliberate shopper, so every pay day I go through the house, inventory the major food items and plan the menu accordingly. It is then off to the local discount grocer to see what I can get before I have to give in and go to the "real grocery store" with coupons. Here is the menu for the next 2 weeks:
April 12th: Steaks, mashed potatoes, freezer corn (steaks from my sister in law ***free)
April 13th : Home made pizza, veggie tray and dip
April 14th: Grilled Pineapple Orange Chicken, Vegetarian baked beans and salad
April 15th: Tuna Melts, Spinach and Artichoke dip and Fries for the guys
April 16th: Lasagna (make a double batch and put one in the freezer)
April 17th: Hot Dogs, kraut, macaroni salad and chips
April 18th: Leftover Night
April 19th: Shredded Chicken Zucchini Stew over rice (all from the freezer)
April 20th: Perogies, Grilled Asparagus and Onions
April 21st: Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Balsalmic Onions, Baked potatoes and a Veggie
April 22nd: Chicken Fajitas, Chips and Salsa
April 23rd: Chicken BBQ dinner from my son's school
April 24th: Grilled chicken salad and 30 minute buns
April 25th: BBQ sandwiches, chips, pickles and cheese
Dessert for the next 2 weeks: apple enchiladas, chocolate cake with pb icinig, vanilla pudding, ice cream and cornflake brownies (all of which I already have the supplies for!)
Well there you have it, that is what we will be eating! Have any good recipes to share? Most of mine come from the wonderful posts at http://www.5dollardinners.com/

Big News!
Well I guess it isn't big news to everyone, but for a mom who has waited 19 months to hear it, hearing Micah say Mamma today was such a blessing. His little voice is almost edible to me, I knwo that sounds strange, but hearing that one word was so sweet. He said it a few times today and meant it, it was not random baby ramblings, but a sure direct statement from him to me, and I love it. This comes the day after he qualified for speech help through Early Intervention, so it made it even sweeter. Thank you Lord!
