Pay day was yesterday, so that means I get the *joys* of paying mortgage, bills and going grocery shopping. Oh how I loathe all of those, but mostly grocery shopping. My goodness, is it ever exhausting! I don't know what it is about it but it seems like it just sucks the life out of me and by the time I get home I am beyond tired. I don't even want to put groceries away or cook dinner. *Sigh*

When I do my shopping I plan out all our meals for the next 2 weeks for myself, my husband and my son. I plan our breakfasts, lunch, dinners and snacks for the little one. Here is what we will be eating for the next few weeks with as many recipes I can link to. If there's a recipe you're interested in and it's not available online, let me know and I will do my best to get it to you. Sometimes I just cook without a recipe. :)

  7. Thanks for visiting ladies! I will definitely be checking out all of your blogs as well. :) I think having a meal plan is the only thing that keeps me cooking dinner and not running to a local restaurant. I actually know what I have on hand.

  9. The fajita wraps are pretty good. I liked them and they were so easy! The ham & rotini pasta is delicious too. Definitely worth trying.
