It’s that time again!! Menu planning! 🙂
Quick update: we continue to do well with our budget that started Jan. 1st. This is officially the longest that I personally have stuck to a budget! When I shared back in January about all the things we’ve been doing, it helped me to SHARE it – accountability – AND your encouragement along the way has helped lots too!!

3 Favorite Grain-Free Desserts
I usually don’t plan meals for Wednesdays and Sundays. Lots of times we just do a quick grilled cheese or quesadilla or find a sandwich. And now in April 2 of the kids are starting Upward soccer, their practices will be Mondays right at dinner time and it takes 30 minutes to get there…thinking about how to possibly feed them in the car without the drive-thru? It will probably be David taking them each week – so something they could all carry with them.

when you make your chicken broth, scoop out all the yummy broth and then top that baby off with more water and keep on cooking til the next day. you’ll have a whole lot more broth, and the longer the bones cook, the healthier the broth. you can even keep it going for several days and drink a cup of the broth every day — it’s so good for you!
