Menu Plan Monday - Why I Plan to Eat Out - September 29th - October 3rd, 2014

What an amazing Summer Fall weekend we just had; ours was a busy one.  Jon was busy with Laurier University Homecoming Weekend while our Little One started ballet lessons Saturday morning, throw in there a birthday party and some apple picking and busy we were.

Thanks to my friend Tina for taking this family photo.

 

Sometimes busy just sneaks up on you, when you are not even looking BOOM there it is.  It's 6:30pm and you are finally making it home (late of course) thanks to the traffic jam/late conference call/child meltdown, who knows what really made you late, but you are late, frazzled and hangry (yes that is hungry and angry combined).  Who really wants to make dinner on a day like that?

This is exactly why I ALWAYS give my family "permission" to eat out once a week.  This eat out day is typically planned for Friday because face it that is usually the day you just don't want to cook, but we allow flexibility on this one.  If Tuesday is suddenly a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day then I say eat out and just push your planned dinners ahead a day.

Enjoy this week's meal plan and remember to use your eat out day on any day of the week you might need it.

Where Have I Been Lately?

Hello Wonderful Readers!

So you are probably wondering where the heck I've been.  Well, summer kinda got the best of my lazy side and I discovered I would much rather lounge on the deck then write a post.  So in the spirit of doing what I WANT, because sometimes you need to do what you WANT, I took the last few weeks to do exactly that which turned out to be a whole lotta nothing.

But fall is right around the corner and with fall comes new beginnings, it's kinda like New Years happens all over again from a slate clean, new perspective, starting over stance.

When I started this blog I dove right in head first and in my weeks of laziness I did a lot of contemplation on weather this is the right forum for me.  Don't get me wrong I am enjoying cooking, writing and sharing my creations with all you lovely folks but I feel like I am not quite capturing the true essence of myself. I am not quite sure where this little blog is going to go, it's not like I've been doing it long, so I'll give it a little more time and perhaps experiment a little more.  Be prepared to experience first hand the ramblings of my mind, I tend to have difficulty focusing and try to accomplish many goals at once, so I apologize in advance if things tend to go a little awol for a bit, I am just trying to find my voice here and discover what I am truly passionate about.

I am still going to cook.  I am still going to share my weekly menu plans.  I might throw in a few DIY projects we are doing around the house and perhaps a few other things will sneak their way in.  Maybe the name of this blog will change, maybe it won't.  I don't know where I am going but all I ask is that you come along with me for the ride.

I joined Instagram last night and I am truly enjoying this type of life sharing, so join me on this new journey and follow along with me here.
