What’s cooking in the Kitchen

Mondays have become the "get ready for the week" in the Kitchen.

With busy schedules, baby, school for kids, school work for Mama, Skating, Beavers. Cooking time is limited.

I am finding, being more organized with meals = less stress.

I make a menu, buy groceries, spend less money, and then I don't have to think about it again until the next week.

Just thinking of what to cook is exercise in itself. Let alone with a baby crying, 2 kids wailing I’m hungry....when is supper.....there is nothing to eat....

So plan it when I have a quit moment on the weekend or right before I go shopping for groceries to avoid all the above.

FYI: I will also be putting a large sign on the fridge saying...

Yes...there is lots of food to eat in this house!!!
