Menu Planning!

Here is my menu for the week of Sept. 13th-19th!

Sunday-enchiladas, beans and rice
Monday-Breakfast Casseroles
Tuesday-Spaghetti and meatballs
Wednesday-Taco Rice
Thursday-Pasta Casserole
Friday-chili dogs
Saturday-(game day) BBQ Sandwiches (slow cooker)

The next few weeks we are eating cheap and simple, due to us moving in 2 weeks to California. I cant really buy too much food at one time, so I'm just buying what we need and nothing extra.

Menu Planning!

Here is my menu for the week of Sept. 6th thru Sept. 12th!!!

Sunday Sept. 6th~ Breakfast Casseroles

Monday Sept. 7th~ Baked Chicken

Tues Sept. 8th~ Velvetta Cheeseburger Mac

Wed Sept. 9th~ Pasta Casserole (by Uncle Brad)

Thurs Sept. 10th~ Shephards Pie

Fri Sept. 11th~ Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Sat. Sept. 12th~ Pizza

I normally plan my meals 2 weeks at a time.  Before I go grocery shopping I dig thru my recipe box and my Kraft food magazines and pick out meals I want for the 2 weeks.  I write each day down, then I go thru and write out my grocery list.  This helps me to stay organized and helps me to stay on budget!!!

accomplishment....

Well, since my husband is gone all week for work, I decided to get some projects done around the house. This wall has been bugging me for awhile now, so it was on my to-do list. I had originally had a collage of frames, but they were all mis-matched and it just really irrated me that they were all different colors, so i got out the spray paint! I already had paint in my garage, so i painted the wall last night, which took about an hour. This was all done for pretty much nothing, i already had the frames, i had spray paint from other projects and the paint was bought a few months ago.
here is the before.......

and after....

i bought this piece of wood, old picture from good will for 50 cents


and this is what i did to it, sprayed it black, added scrapbook paper and this is what i got....

Coupons!

Have you heard of Coupons.com ??? Well if you havent then you should head over to the site and check it out. You can print off coupons from this site. I just heard of this yesterday, im a little slow in some things. I usually clip coupons from the newspapers, but i always want more! So i found this and printed off like 20 coupons yesterday. The best thing is you can click on the ones you want and print from your computer. So simple and so worth it.
