365 Day Meal Plan:: Week Eight Menu Plan

This week’s update on the yearly meal plan may look like a failure, but I still consider it a success since we didn’t eat out unintentionally. I still managed to serve the kids healthy meals (and so many fruits and veggies), and didn’t overspend on my groceries. Pin It Here’s how last week’s meal plan [...]

365 Day Meal Plan: Week Seven Menu Plan

Last week’s menu was a little ambitious. With a 4 day weekend (and early dismissal and one kiddo home sick on Thursday) I didn’t have quite as much time to work or catch up on housework last week. So while we had some family time I also mixed in some work and housekeeping this past [...]

Cider Glazed Pork Loin {Gluten-Free}

I’ve mentioned this cider glazed pork loin several times in my menu plan. It’s something I came up with on the fly when we had pork loin and just enough apple cider to cause the kids to fight make a tasty fall/winter marinade. This recipe is super easy to make since you don’t need to [...]

Moms can’t do it all: 365 Days of Homecooking FAIL

I have to be honest, that’s just who I am. I have totally failed on the homecooking front. My 365 days of homecooking challenge was too overwhelming with all the other stuff we have going on in our lives. I will say I have a tendency to jump into things with both feet, and think [...]

Your Shape Challenge: Healthy snacking

The 365 Day Cooking Challenge and Your Shape Challenge I’m participating in have fallen by the wayside a bit these last few weeks. I have been pretty sick, and the kids were as well for awhile, so it was tough to cook. We ended up eating a lot of sandwiches, brinner, and odds and ends [...]
