THIS is what we're having for dinner for the month of March
If you click on it, it gets bigger. :) or at least it's supposed to...
There are many blank dates this is because there are going to be nights that 'what's for dinner' doesn't sound good or I forget to pull it out early enough or INSERT EXCUSE HERE (ha!) so we end up having something else -- which means there will be 'leftover' dinners that need a new home.
I really try to do a lot of make ahead meals because it just makes my life easier throughout the month and if we don't eat that dinner it can stay in the freezer for the next month.
See some code on there you don't understand? What, you can't decipher my writing? Silly you! ha! Here you go :
**=in the freezer/make ahead
online = I have book marked the recipe on my computer for easy access- for me. Look below for links to recipes for you
FFF= recipe came from the book Fix, Freeze, Feast. I found this one on Amazon! Love it!
PT= recipe came from Pinterest and is saved on my FOOD :) board. WHAT you aren't part of Pinterest? Then message me and I'll invite you. Silly you!
Most of the time I 'wing' the sides each night because we always have frozen corn, veggie blends, garlic bread, rice and such on hand. This month I did put some ideas on some of them.
I try to do my shopping for THE ENTIRE MONTH in one shopping trip. This usually amounts to 1-2 hours in Winco. WITH Dax. He's an angel and doesn't usually loose his cool until we get to the bakery where I then bribe him with a donut for the ride home. :) It's his little, cheap reward. :) Yes, he even gets one if it is dinner time. What angel shouldn't get this kind of spoiling once a month. :) haha!
