May Menu Plan ~ 2010

Spring has sprung here in Indiana. And along with Spring, comes our busy schedules with baseball practice and games and track, throw in all the extra landscaping work that Doug is doing and all that I’m doing with Hoosier Homemade, we are super, SUPER busy. I’m thankful for my Meal Planning, it really does take the guess work out of dinner time.

A couple weeks ago, I prepared and cooked a week’s worth of meals in a day (well, day and a couple hours actually) and it was so nice to have them done and ready. Last week, I didn’t do that, and really missed it. So, I’ve decided to try and prepare and cook our meals, at least a good portion of them every Monday.

Coming up on Thursday, along with Alice.com, BlogFrog and 5 other awesome bloggers, is the Mother’s Day Extravaganza! We are having TONS of great giveaways, in fact, One Every Hour! Alice.com has some fabulous prizes, like 3 months of FREE Housecleaning, and a $250 Gift Card to Alice.com just to mention a couple. BlogFrog is giving away their Premium Membership and each of the 6 bloggers, including myself, have some exciting prizes too.

With all my preparation for this week, it was really nice to be able to go back thru my older posts and pull up what we ate last year. It’s kinda fun to have to title a post a different year now! 🙂
