Next Weeks Menu MADNESS – SHOUT OUT FOR HELP!!!

23 July 2010, 10:13 pm

This is about the time I should be planning my meals for next week but I am so far behind already!  Tomorrow we will be attending a wedding so I figure the kids can fend for themselves but we really should get up early and get some shopping done because I believe our Sunday will be busy with church events and then we will be visiting some friends that just had a baby and their family from out of town.  Time will be limited so I need some ideas from my readers!!  I need some very frugal, quick & easy meals for a family of 4 – picky 4 that is…any ideas will be helpful – no need to leave recipes unless I can’t find them online.  I just need basics.

If you read this, just comment me with a few ideas of easy dinners, desserts & snacks.  No lunches or breakfasts are necessary.  Your help will be tremendously appreciated!!!!

Thanks, Love & HUGS!!

“Getting Dinner Ready in a Flash”

“With Our Busy Schedules, What Are Your 3 Valid Tips for Getting Dinner Ready in a Flash?”

As a full time working mother of two teenagers, getting dinner prepared and on the table before midnight is a tough job! I have found that meal planning helps a lot. I make my menu ahead of time. This not only helps me prepare my grocery list but also gives me the advantage of preparing what I can in advance. Typically, when I get home from the grocery store, I will cook what I can and freeze it for the week’s meals. For example, if we are having Tacos one night and Spaghetti another or Chicken Spaghetti one night and Chicken & Dumplings another, I will cook all of the meat in advance. This saves a lot of meal prep time. The most important factor in saving time in the kitchen is to keep it organized so that I know where everything is in an instant.
