Daily Bread.....

Its been an interesting week. I've been busy working on a few things. I edited out some baby stuff and a few bags full of clothing, cleaned out a few neglected areas, dealt with a fussy baby, and took care of some appointments.

The biggest meal this week was a lasagna dinner. During my last cooking session we made 3 lasagnas for the freezer and they have been a hit. We were out our freezer garlic bread so I picked some up from Meijer and it was way to salty!
We also had white bean chili, chili cheese tater tots (trying to hide the fact they were a little freezer burned), sauteed smoked sausage and cabbage and Iron chef night (create your own dish from leftovers).

I only made one sweet thing this week and it was honey nut marshmallow treats. Just a rice krispie treat recipe with honey nut chex instead of rice cereal and 1/2 cup peanut butter added. Pretty good.

My grocery budget runs from the middle of one month to the next because that's how DH tracks the bills. We are planning a big trip on Monday so I am trying to get prepared and clean out the fridge and pantry before then.

Homeschooling has been going well. We switched to math-u-see this year for DD's math and it has been great. We also were lucky enough to find a homeschool class nearby that she can attend once a week that is affordable.

All in all, its been a good week :)

I like the Iron Chef night idea! It makes leftover night sound much more exciting.
