I don't think I've ever told you how much I love Menu Planning. It makes my weeks so much easier and it saves us lots of money. I shop every 2 weeks, so you have to know what you are feeding everyone. I hate being in the stores in the weeks around Christmas. It's such a zoo and my patience goes right out the window. So on the 7th when I was making my grocery list, I made a list to get us right through to the new year. Yep, I don't have to do groceries (except milk and a few things) until the 7th of January! And now I truly thank God that I did this (and that my Mom took my list and did my groceries on Tuesday for me). Now I don't have to try and think of what to feed us these days. I'm going around in such a fog from losing Colin's Mom that I don't think I could get meals ready too. But because of Menu Planning I DON'T HAVE TO THINK! I just look at the menu board and make what it says.
This week is everything Christmas. We need to get and decorate our tree, I have no baking done (thank goodness I have probably half the dough I need in the freezer), and my Mom is doing my cards this year because I just don't have the heart for them. I also have to prepare because I'm having a Solstice dinner on Friday for my good friend Teresa and her son Terrance. My Ella is coming home today, Daddy really needed to sleep yesterday so she hung out (and played in the blizzard) with Grandma.
Monday:
pizza
lasagna
Tuesday:
pork sandwiches
meatloaf
Wednesday:

l/o lasagna
Thursday:
potato pancakes
l/o meatloaf
Friday: Winter Solstice

turkey, roast potatoes, glazed carrots, and pavlova (probably)

Sunday:
leftover turkey and whatnot
What fun is cooking at I'm an Organizing Junkie?
