Meal Planning

I picked up this little magnetic meal-planning pad at Michael's in the dollar bin. I love having it on the fridge. The whole family knows what to expect, and it reminds me first thing in the morning to defrost meat or put something in the crock-pot. Anything that makes getting dinner on the table easier makes me happy!

Ooh, I should get one of those! Usually I start thinking about what I should thaw and/or have for dinner around 5:30...which is why we don't often eat before 7pm. :/

that's neat! How about you post a picture with your meal plans every week. Some of us need more ideas! Hehehe *grin*

Love that! I could really use one of those too! I can use all the help I can get when it comes to planning dinner:) Thanks for the idea!

And by the way, can I have "Daddy's sandwich" and the crockpot rice and beans recipe? Thank you kindly!! =)

Cristina, 'Daddy's Special Sandwiches' are the way we use the leftover roast from Sunday. Kevin chops the meat up finely and broils it on buttered toast. I think he salts and peppers the meat and adds onion powder, too. I like mine with mustard. :) I'll have to grab my beans and rice recipe and add that later....

I love this! Then I wouldn't have to answer the question, "What's for dinner?" several times a day. (Which is crazy since I only have 2 kids...)

Love you!
