Welcome back!
I haven’t done a Menu Plan Monday in quite some time, though I do enjoy them and I always menu plan so it should be an easy thing to keep up with. Here’s my menu for this week. By the way, I am starting to use E-Mealz.com to help with menu planning and to save some money as they are known to help you do both. 
This week’s menu:
1. Grilled salmon, wild rice, green beans.
2. Hamburger Steaks, cabbage, mashed potatoes.
3. Chili dogs, fries
4. Grilled chicken sandwiches, homemade fries.
I’ll likely add to this, as I shop on Wednesday’s and haven’t shopped for this week yet. Plus, I’m using the new E-Mealz plan. Excited about that. Have you checked it out yet? Dave Ramsey recommends it.

I Love It When . . .

A plan actually works. I am a planner by nature. I love to plan. I love to make lists. I love to cross things off of lists, and yes I’ve even been known to write something on a list JUST to cross it off. Go ahead, laugh.
Today I planned to work on client work and double up this week so that I don’t have to work next week during Christmas. I got lucky and the kids went to Granny’s and I had a few hours of quiet and sanity. It worked beautifully and for 1/2 of my clients now 2 weeks worth of work has been done. Now, if Thursday can go just as well, I’ll be set.
Then it is time to plan my 2010. Can’t wait. I love to plan. Set goals, dream!

I just want an easy meal week. This is a busy week. Our last before Baker starts back to school. So, I’m fixing some family favorites and taking some “easy” ways out too. Here’s what we’re having:
- breakfast
- tacos
- Swiss chicken, potatoes, corn
- hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, fried okra
- chicken strips, macaroni and cheese
- bacon wrapped sausages on the grill, potatoes, beans
- Digornio frozen pizzas
