Supper Sunday - Our first head wound

 

Well, better late than never, right? I'm sorry this post is so late, it's been a pretty crazy weekend. We actually just experienced our first minor head wound and it scared the hell out of all of us. I have never been so scared (and helpless) for my one of my children before. Luckily, it was just a tiny cut.

After we got all cleaned up and realized there was no need to go to the emergency room, we settled down to enjoy my daughters favorite drink: Lemonade. We had regular lemonade but here is another lemonade that we often make:

 

 

 

Supper Sunday

 

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. We aren't doing much this weekend - just relaxing and playing outside (it's still a little cold but the kids don't seem to mind).  I just bought some sunflower seeds so we are going to plant those today. I also want to plant carrots since we use so many of them for our juices. More on that in a later post.

 

As for dinner, I am most looking forward to the Baby Back Ribs. It seems like anytime I make something covered in BBQ sauce, it's a big hit with the whole family. I find myself wanting to put bbq sauce on everything, in hopes that the kids will eat it lol.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. This weekend is another busy one for us: Saturday was filled with the kids sports and classmates birthday parties, today we are going to Wrestlemaina! I don't know who is more excited, me or the kids.

 

Lately hubs and I have been juicing. I never thought I'd love juice this much! I guess I never drank fruit drink from the store because it's packed with so much sugar. But making our own healthy juice is the best - even the kids like it.  And it really is so simple: just grab a bunch of veggies, a piece of fruit (to get some natural sugars) and your done!

 

Meal Plan March 31 - April 6

Happy Easter!!

I hope everyone is enjoying time with their family/friends today. We had a simple dinner with the family and of course a egg hunt. Whatever your plans for today, enjoy!

As part of our dinner today I cooked lamb. It was the first time I've ever made it so I was pretty nervous as to how it would turn out. Sometimes my first attempts at a new dish aren't too good. Well, I am happy to report that EVERYONE LOVED IT! Woohoo!

Meal Plan - March 24-30

Happy Sunday, everyone!

 

 

I've been craving a lot of desserts lately. One of my favorites is brownies! I could eat brownies all day everyday (as long as I have enough milk).

 

Meal Plan March 17-23

Happy Sunday, everyone!

 

 

This week I am making a family favorite - Lasagna. The kiddies are pretty picky so when I make something they actually love, I am just the most grateful mom ever. "Make Once, Eat Twice Lasagna" (Taste of Home) is the best tasting recipe I've found so far and it has the added bonus of directions for freezing half the batch for later.

What's for Dinner? March 10-16

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Every Sunday I will share my dinner plans for the week and provide a link to the recipe. 

Why is meal planning important?

It's a total money and life saver! When I come home from work, I'm not scrambling around the kitchen trying to think of something to make for dinner. Those nights are never good, because you know you will just end up driving to some fast food place and spending at least 40 bucks.  Also, it save's so much money when you know exactly what you need to get from the grocery store, instead of wondering around trying to think of meals while in the store. I've been there, done that. Trust me, meal planning is the way to go.
