Great menu plan! Thanks for the recipe links; I’ve saved quite a few to make soon.
i love how you plan all three meals of the day. right now i’m only planning dinner but i think if i planned everything i’d be eating more fruits and vegetables
What a wonderful meal plan for your family! I love the name for the eggs you’re making on Saturday. :)
Love your plan! The strawberry bread sounds great…will try it soon!
Blessings,

Great menu! Thanks for sharing!!
Okay…I’ll be checking more on this homemade chocolate chip idea of yours. I’m headed to my favorite health food store tomorrow, so I will be looking for ingredients. Thanks for sharing. Beginning August 5, I will be hosting Crock Pot Wednesdays at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. I hope you can join us. There will be prizes:)
I’ve enjoyed reading your site since I stumbled on it, from Money Saving Mom, I believe. I have a silly question…I really enjoy cooking and will tackle just about anything; however, it seems like EVERY time I roast a chicken I set off our smoke detectors (does not make my two year old or dogs happy). How do you cook yours? I’m always curious to try a new recipe/method.
Oh, and we love your b’fast cookies! Thanks!
This is how I do mine… preheat over 350 degrees. Place rack on next to top (not broiler spot, one down)
I drizzle some oil oil on the chicken, then season it up. I generally cook mine for an hour and 15-20 mins. Smoke alarms don’t go off, and the chicken is nice and tender and brown!
oops olive oil.
I just put a chicken into a big roaster with carrots, onions, salt and potatoes and put it into a 300 degree oven for about two hours. Right now since it’s hot…I stuck it all in my crock pot for the afternoon!
