 Last week was such a bizarre week around here.
The ice storm really threw me off schedule. Our power was restored Thursday morning around 9. We quickly packed up and headed home because Michael was suppose to be at work by 10 (he only had a 2 hour delay that day). Somehow I was just totally [...]

 Ah, another hot week is upon us. If you follow me on Twitter, yesterday you might have seen my tweet about this summer weather being a hindrance to my menu planning… it has been awful.
I haven’t wanted to cook (inside or out) and have been entirely too lazy. I think part of it has to [...]

 This week is sure to be a long one for me, though definitely not as long as those days during Michael’s recent deployment. However, Michael is on 12 hour shifts this week and will be at work until 7 pm each day. We typically eat dinner about 5:30, so we decided that I’ll continue with [...]

 Wow, it’s been a crazy month. My youngest brother was visiting for several weeks, Michael returned from Iraq and then had a couple weeks off work, he went back to work and then my parents came to visit for a few days to pick my brother up. July was also a hot month (with no [...]

 You know that saying “when in Rome, do as the Romans do?” Well, it applies to country-ville, too!! I find that each time I go home to visit my family in the deep south, I turn into a bona fide southern gal. I get lazy in my speech and find my southern drawl rears it’s [...]

 Last week was a whirlwind week around here. We found out on Monday that we are not moving to Turkey and since then I’ve been in a frenzy planning a trip to Florida to stay with my family for the next few weeks.
This deployment has me worn out and I’m really looking forward to [...]

 Last week was an incredibly crazy week for us, so I’m hoping this week won’t bring quite as many unexpected happenings.
Menu planning in this crazy bipolar spring weather in Colorado has proven a challenge for the last few weeks. Today it was 78°, however, there is snow forecast for Wednesday. I typically [...]

 I have yet another busy week ahead. Several appointments have me feeling a little crazy already – and the week hasn’t even started yet.
The biggest thing happening this week is final approval on medical clearance for Turkey. Since the base we will be at is pretty small and has limited specialty care, we’re waiting to [...]

 My menus are going to be changing a bit over the next few weeks. They might start to look really bizarre with foods that don’t typically “go” together. It looks like our household goods will be shipped out either the first or second week of May and then the kids and I will [...]

 This week is a short week for me (at least, as far as dinners go…). I also have some carry over meals from the last couple of weeks, which has made it super easy to put this week’s menu together!!
Breakfasts:
cold cereal, pumpkin pancakes (from freezer), breakfast burritos
Lunches:
leftovers, sandwiches (pb&j or deli meat with cheese), fresh [...]
