Menu Plan Monday


Yikes, the last day of the year!  We have had a busy two weeks with a wedding in the family and Christmas celebrations.  But we are now ready to get back to a somewhat normal scheduled.  Time to get back to homeschooling and to clean up the gift tornado that has hit my kitchen as we did a lot of running in and out this weekend to our family Christmas gatherings.  Yes, both after Christmas, it's what worked for both of our families this year.
I'm keeping it simple this week, right now I don't have the energy to be cooking anything fantastic.  And now that I only grocery shop every two weeks, I have to make due with what is in the house as this is not a shopping week.

Menu Plan Monday


I'm often asked where I get my ideas.....PINTEREST
I can't say to much more than that.  Lets be serious, of course I can say more!
I spend way to much time on Pinterest
I have however tried numerous things and been pleased.
However even getting recipes off Pinterest I still change them up to suit my family.  We try to stay away from processed foods and to eat as clean as we can.  Sticking to organic and Non-GMO foods as much as possible.
When ever I post a picture with my meal plan you can generally click on the picture and it will take you to my Pinterest, then you can click again and it will take you to the source with the recipe.

On to this week.  Nothing on my calendar as far as meetings.  I will remember to keep my more detailed meals early in the week and my easy go to meals later in the week when I have way less energy to make something.  My aim is to have a small grocery list.

MONDAY
Best Ever Beef Stew

Amazing no kneed Bread

I'm going to attempt to make it with some organic Kamut flour
