Last week, I made a half-hearted meal plan, and the result was a half-baked week of meals.  I HATE when it's 4:30 and Ben says, "What's for dinner?" and I'm totally stumped.  I have about $13 left for the rest of the month in my grocery budget, so except for milk, bread, and fresh produce, we're eating from our stockpile for the next two weeks!

Question of the day:  Do you think taking a picture of your children in the middle of their misbehavior encourages it? Sometimes they do things that is so ornery but cute at the same time, so I try to surreptitiously get a picture, but sometimes they catch me in the act.  Above, I told Grace with a very solemn face that I was taking a picture to show Daddy what she was doing, hence the "deer in headlights" look.  I will show him, but I also wanted it for posterity's sake.  When she's sixteen, I can't wait to show how she painted those luscious lips of hers. :)

2 Week Menu Plan

Next week is our church's Revival Conference, so I decided to plan a two-week menu since it will be a whirlwind next week.  Leah's birthday is this week, and we are having dinner guests on Friday, so lots of activity!  I was able to buy boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.59/lb. and ground beef for $1.89/lb. this week, so my meat coffers are full again!
Monday Grace insisted on wearing my nylons all morning.

Week One
Chicken fajitas, applesauce
Italian beef, sweet potato fries
Aunt Laura's chicken, potato salad, cottage cheese, applesauce
Crockpot Country-style ribs, pierogies, corn on the cob
Meatballs, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots
Wildfire chopped salad (with leftover chicken)
Leftovers

Week Two
Spareribs, potato salad, fruit
Spaghetti and meatballs, corn, wheat breadsticks
Ground beef Sandwiches (new recipe-coming soon!), pasta salad
Baked chicken breast, spaghetti alfredo, broccoli
Ben's Favorite Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, carrots 
Leftovers
Egg salad sandwiches, pickles, pretzels
