Menu Plan.....Thursday? **Edited**

Quite a few of the blogs that I read do "Menu Plan Monday". I've been menu planning for a little over 3 years now. I don't do it every week, rather, I do it every time my hubby gets paid. Tomorrow is payday, and I'm planning my shopping trip. Usually, I will try to buy 2 weeks worth of food so I don't have to go shopping again until the next time he gets paid. This might have to change a little bit when Wyatt gets a little older and starts consuming more food. But for now, I can make 4 or 5 recipes and use leftovers and make it stretch out for 2 weeks.
Here's my line up for this "go round"

-Taco Salad w/ homemade salsa

-Curry Turkey Burgers w/ asparagus (Thanks to Emily from Making Dough for the recipe link)

-Buffalo Chicken Chili w/ Broccoli Slaw

-Cold Chicken Satay Noodles (p.174 of the Big Orange Book by Rachael Ray) w/ Spinach Salad **If you have this cookbook, this is a must try. It was delicious. (If I do say so myself) Also the spinach salad was delicious too. I bought a bag of spinach for the noodle dish and figured I'd just incorporate the rest of it into the salad.**

-Spanish Chorizo and Chicken Chili (p. 57 of the Big Orange Book by Rachael Ray) (Hubby saw the picture and requested that I make this) **This was also a big hit. It wasn't as good as the Buffalo Chicken Chili, but it was a nice change**

And, I'll leave you with this... This little ditty tends to be pretty catchy and Ryan has been singing this non-stop and driving me "CRAZY"!! Now Wyatt has caught on to it and started singing it tonight too.
I want you to share in my great pain and despair....enjoy

LOL

For April!

It's all in good fun! I tried to do this on Facebook instead, but I couldn't figure out how to post YouTube videos!
I love this movie, but I suggest that you watch it when it's played on TV because its fairly raunchy otherwise.


Love ya April

Miss Liberty Haven

I visited my friend Savannah & hubby Marcus at the hospital last Thursday after the birth of their daughter, Liberty.
She was born on Wed the 4th, you'll have to click on the link above for all of Liberty's stats. It was quite the crazy story too. For any mommy's that like to hear birth stories, it is a must read!
Anyway, of course, I had my camera in tow and managed to snap off a few cute ones. I just love taking pictures of newbies.
Sweet eyes

Yummy...."Sea Kittens"


They are what's for dinner tonight!

My older brother put "Greg is eating sea kittens" as his status on Facebook. My niece responded, "what the heck are sea kittens"
and he responded with this link...

I guess this is an insight into my sense of humor.
And I really think that PETA is insane.

Hope you enjoy!
