We are stocked up on chicken because I bought three rotisserie chickens to make homemade chicken stock, so there are several chicken recipes featured this week.  I am going back to just listing our dinners because my husband is in charge of breakfast, and he usually ignores my plan and makes whatever he wants.  :) [...]

There is one week left in the month, and with our grocery money now gone (definitely budgeted too little for groceries this month), we are down to cooking from the pantry and freezer.  Considering that both are still stocked, we should still eat well this week.  I am also bored with our current breakfast meals, [...]

Last week I spent entirely too much time cooking and trying to pack up our stuff in preparation for our big move.  I had very little time to play with the girls during the day, and at the end of the week we were all a bit grumpy. I still need to pack more this [...]
