Monday Meal Plan

By

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend! I took the girls to see a Cinderella play at a local high school on Friday, and they loved it. I did too, to tell the truth! Then on Friday we went shopping for new sheets for our bed. We have a regular sized mattress, but we added a foam topper and a mattress pad and suddenly, none of our regular depth sheets fit. It's kind of hard to find deep pocket sheets that don't cost and arm and a leg! But we found a pair at Ross, and so far we like them and they are staying on!

Anyway, after all that fun stuff, I had to get down to business meal! It takes time to do meal planning, but it is so worth it when you have everything planned out for your suppers.

I have been making soup for my husbands lunch for probably about 3 or 4 years now. Maybe longer! He finally told me that he is getting tired of soup. So I am varying things up a bit with cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches and then I will make soup maybe every 3-4 weeks. So you will see some new lunch ideas here soon!

Here is a post I did all about how I meal plan. I don't list them in any order and Saturdays for lunch is when we usually try to eat up leftovers. Also, this week I am trying to use up some chicken and pork that I have in my freezer before I got out and by more. Ok, now on to business.


(I'll be working on changing some of these food pictures soon! Sorry! 😳)

1. Chicken Potato Casserole
2. Parmesan Chicken
3. Stromboli
4. Slow Cooker Shredded Pork over Mashed Potatoes
5. Barbecue Pork Sandwiches
6. Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche
7. Slow Cooker Spicy Chicken Legs 
8. Homemade Pizza
9. Pancakes and Sausage
10.Pork and Gravy (leftover)
11. Cheesy Pepperoni Pasta
12. BBQ Bacon Pepperjack Stuffed Chicken
13. Chicken Fried Rice
14.Chicken Egg Noodle Casserole

Husband's Packed Lunches: Cold Ham Sandwiches, Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches, and Cheese-steak sloppy joes. I also make Breakfast Burritos for his morning break.

Daughters School Lunches: (see my new weekly lunch post here!) I'm trying two new things these next two weeks. I will alternate with ham/cheese sandwiches, pbj sandwiches, ham/cheese kabobs, peppeoni/cheese kabobs -and my new options-hard boiled eggs and chef salad with ham.

My youngest daughter and I eat whatever leftovers we have, sometimes I'll make me some taco soup, or sandwiches or whatever really!

I plan to share some of the other recipes over the next two weeks. Until then, have a good day!!

My $100 Kitchen Cabinet Makeover!

By
I'm so excited to share today's post. It's something I've been working on for about 2 months, on and off. But it is finished and so today I'm sharing how we renovated our kitchen cabinets for about $100. When we bought our house in a little over a year ago, I fell in love with the kitchen just by the listings photos. UPDATE!!! Check out this  post to see how I also stained my island! It was HUGE and there was about a billion cabinets. The kitchen in our old house was a pretty good size also and I knew I would not be content with a smaller kitchen. So these pictures sold me. We bought the house and moved in and I lived with the kitchen for awhile but the cabinet color was really bugging me. I liked the counter tops well enough but they clashed with the cabinets. We did not have the money to replace all those cabinets so the next decision was to either paint or stain them. I stumbled upon General Finishes Gel Stain and thought the id

$5 Laundry "Room" Update

By
I don't have a laundry room. I have a laundry closet right off the kitchen. I actually love it there because it is so convenient to keep laundry going through out the day. I wish it was a little bigger and I have future plans down the road, but for now I have to keep it organized or there is just not enough room for it all! Here was the state of my closet before. Not too bad, but there were things in there that shouldn't be in there (a sprinkler??) and it just was cluttered. Not to mention plain and boring. I think I've mentioned before on here how much I love Dollar Tree. If not, I'll say it now. I love Dollar Tree! They have some of the cutest stuff! So I went there today to find some things to organize this with. Here's what I came up with. I bought the 3 aqua colored baskets today and the green and gray tray I was already using.  I wiped everything down and got to work. This is what it looks like now. The two hanging

My Frugal Cottage/Farmhouse Decor and how YOU can get it.

By
I have been on a decorating spree lately. I just finished my cabinets ( see them in this post here !) and so I've been changing things up a little bit. Plus spring is almost here and so I've been getting my flowers out for it! I also love to see how inexpensively I can decorate while still looking nice. I love the stuff from Pottery Barn, Magnolia Market, etc. but here on THIS blog, I'm on a budget! My favorite stores are thrift stores, specifically the Goodwill or Goodwill Outlet and stores like Ross, Homegoods and Michaels. And of course, the Dollar Tree! I try to make a lot of my stuff, or redo it so it's more my style. I've tried to include links to some of the stuff I've bought. None of these links are affiliate links, they are just there to help you out! I've already shared my "mantle"  already but I had to include it in this post. I made the star, my husband made the plaque, I covered the books and decorated the vase. Everythin
