Thank you for being a great resource for me with my menu planning. Every once in awhile when I get in a rut, I come by and read what’s cookin’ at your house and I find something to try. I think you are especially helpful because you don’t cook anything exotic that would be too intimidating to try, just ordinary healthy food! So when I feel like I’m tired of the options I can always find something with good ingredients here! There are all recipes that I can easily tackle even when I’m feeling discouraged or overwhelmed! Thanks Laura.

Breakfast cake has been a big hit at our house! Thanks for the recipe. We made pizza pockets this week also and they loved those.

Oh, what a coincidence! I got up extra-early this morning to make your Giant Breakfast Cookies. My kids are always thrilled to have cookies for breakfast (and okay, I am, too!)

I have to tell you my menu planning, it makes my life so much easier and I don’t have to think as much either. I do one menu for 2 weeks, so the menu above is exactly what we would eat the second week. Monday is the same as the next Monday, Tuesday as the next Tuesday, etc. You may think you get sick of the same meal twice, but 8 days in between in a lot of time. I often cook a double batch the first week and freeze half for the following week. For the most part I only go shopping once every two weeks and buy double. Occasionally I have to get some fresh produce , but it usually lasts. I absolutely LOVE this method for our family!!
