Meal Plan Monday - March 5 2018


I made a triple batch of waffles two Saturdays ago using this recipe. I've decided to start grinding wheat and using whole wheat flour in some recipes. For these waffles I did half whole wheat and half white I also subbed 3/4 cup of flaxseed for flour. http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/basic-batter-waffles-110683

I made two dozen cherry muffins on baking Saturday using this recipe: https://www.bedandbreakfast.com/ListingRecipes.aspx?inn=209672&recipe=1953 I was able to use some of the homegrown cherries from the freezer.

Sandwiches: Sandwiches are always made with homemade bread and then either peanut butter and jelly or lunch-meat and cheese. When I find lunch-meat for a good price I'll stock up and freeze it. Sandwich Bread recipe: http://www.dealstomealsblog.com/2009/03/10/my-new-favorite-whole-wheat-bread/

The chili we have for lunch is canned. We're trying to eat all of our food storage. We have around 12 cans of chili left.

Spaghetti Carbonara is a family favorite and really easy to put together! 
Cook a pound of spaghetti.
Cook a pound of bacon, chopped. Drain Spaghetti.
While spaghetti & bacon are cooking mix 3 eggs, 1/4 c cream ( I use milk or evap. milk), 1/2 c Parmesan cheese. Once bacon is done, drain into egg mixture. MIx. Once Spaghetti is done, mix everything together. Enjoy!
I got such a great deal on bacon! See my latest Grocery Shopping Post!

Taco Tuesday: I make our taco meat with 1 lb of ground turkey and 1 can of kidney beans. I make homemade taco seasoning. There are lots of different recipes for this on Pinterest. We'll have sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and taco sauce for toppings. 

BBQ chicken ranch salad: http://www.upsideofchaos.com/2014/01/bbq-chicken-and-ranch-salad.html We won't be serving this with avocado because we don't have any and I don't want to buy any!

Teriyaki Chicken: This is my Dad's marinade recipe. Marinate for at least an hour, no more than 24 hours. Grill and enjoy! We'll be having with rice and veggies.
1/2 C Water
1/2 C Soy Sauce
1 T Oil
1 T Sugar
1/2 t Ginger

Potstickers are from Costco. I'd love to brag and say I make our own potstickers but I just don't! We love these potstickers; it'll be a quick to throw together dinner on baking Saturday. I'll serve with leftover rice making it an even faster dinner.

Homemade Laundry Detergent

I've been making our own laundry detergent for over a year now. It works wonderfully, I know exactly what's in it, smells great, and lasts forever! Here's what you need to make your own: 55 oz. Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda  (you can find this in the laundry detergent aisle usually on the highest or lowest shelf) 76 oz. 20 Mule Team Borax  (you can find this in the laundry detergent aisle usually on the highest or lowest shelf) 4 lb. Baking Soda 26 oz. Downy Unstoppables or other scent booster 3-4 bars Fels-Naptha or Ivory Soap  (I used to use Fels-Naptha but at $1.69 per bar it's more economical to use Ivory soap and it works just as well) Combine washing soda, baking soda, borax, and scent booster. I use an extra 5 gallon bucket to mix. Grate soap and add to powder mixture. Using a food processor makes this much faster!  When finished you should have 2 gallons worth of laundry detergent. Each load only needs 1 t...

Birthday Budgets

This past month we've been celebrating Tafton's 9th Birthday. He loves to read and I love to see him reading. He'll use phrases that sound so odd coming out of a 9 years old mouth, But I really enjoy hearing them. He is so smart! Because he's the oldest he can be somewhat of a police officer trying to keep the younger kids in line - it's important to him that everyone follow the rules and he can get so disappointed in himself when he thinks he's fallen short. I'm humbled that I've been chosen to be his mother, to guide, teach, and prepare him for this life. One area I want to prepare my kids in is finances. I wish for them to make smarter choices with their money than we have! One thing I want them to understand is that money is finite. If you spend a dollar, you no longer have that dollar.  In line with this, we decided to let our kids manage a birthday budget once they turn 8. We give them a dollar amount and with that they can decide to have ...

Gazelle Intense

I've been a fan of Dave Ramsey for several years. But even though we've been fans; listening to his podcast, reading his books; we haven't gone full gazelle intense yet. Well guess what?! 2017 is the year!!! We're going gazelle intense!!!! I'm crazy excited!!! So what is gazelle intense? Basically, it's getting really focused and really angry at your debt. Angry enough that you want to kick it to the curb and get it out of your life for good.  I feel like I've been working on paying off all our debt forever!!!! and I'm sick and tired of it! What's worse is the reason  why  we haven't paid it off is because we HAVEN'T been following his plan by the  book  (literally☺). We've used our credit card instead of an emergency fund, we've signed up for more student loans when we should've cash flowed, and we didn't do the snowball, instead we paid extra in drips and drabs.  No more! and I'm super excited. I'l...
