Planning meals.....

I have been hard at work gathering recipes off Pinterest and other websites....I am so very excited about my September Challenge! I will be posting on Sunday night what my meals will be for the week, and every day I will have recipes from the night before. 

I got a tablet to right down my recipe ideas for the coming week, and month.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Talk to you again soon. :)

Summer Sunday Dinner!!

Sunday is a day of relaxation, and getting ready for the week ahead... Today we decided to bake breaded chicken strips, and have Macaroni salad and marinated cucumber/tomatoes as sides. This is very light, and tastes amazing!

We are getting very excited about starting the new menu for September, and have a huge list of ideas!

Easy weekend dinner--frozen dinner options...

When I think frozen dinner a square thin box of cardboard tv dinner comes to mind. Over the past few years, several companies have came out with dinner options for a family, or single people, rarely do you see something for 2.
While at the grocery store today, Trevor suggested an easy dinner for tonight, so we went down the frozen section, and came across these P.F. Chang's options. This will be the first time we have tried this brand, and I'm very excited. I also made a quick cup of rice to go with it.

This was so very good! Under $10.00 for dinner is amazing!! I will definitely be trying the other options with this brand!!

Have a good day!

Menu ideas

So many options for making or buying Menu Boards.  I had planned on making a menu board, however, the costs for me were adding up quickly (since we moved 1700 miles from home, I had to leave behind my craft supplies for a bit) I would have had to buy every supply to make this....So, for me, it was easier to just buy a dry erase weekly calendar.  I found it at Target for $6.00 it came with magnets to put it on the fridge, however, I purchased the command Velcro to put it on the wall, and I will be able to easily remove it to change it each week.

 Here is a picture of the dry erase board I purchased.

This is a picture of my friends boards.  They are 11x13 picture frames, with scrapbook paper in them, along with clothes pins for the days of the week, crayon boxes cut in half for the boxes to hold the menu options used/unused.

I have also viewed several other options on the web, and strongly recommend you find one that fits what you like.  Once I get my supplies from Idaho, I will be making a Menu for us.

September Challenge...Re-Vamped...

My 2 bestest friends, Kristina, and Angela, are going to be joining me for the September challenge, and we may end up with others joining us on this journey!  With the suggestions from Tina, and Ang, we will be having the allowance of 6 meals (3 Dinners, 3 Lunches) total allowed all month.  I will be sharing pictures and recipes on this blog, as well as sharing on Facebook as well.

Tomorrow, I will be making a menu board, and I will share a how to on here for that as well...(Thanks Tina!)  I look forward to seeing how the challenge goes, and hopefully you will decide to join us.

September Challenge!

I stole this idea from my best friend Kristina. In February she challenged herself to cook something different for dinner, no repeats for the whole month, an to only go out to eat a few times as well...

So, for the month of September, I am challenging myself to only eat out 1 dinner (my birthday dinner) and, no repeats all month long. I hope you will all come along with me for the ride...

I will be posting the recipes and what we thought of them.

So, 29 different meals for the Month of September...who thinks I can do it? If you have any suggestions, I am ready to hear them!!

Look at Crazy Mr. and Mrs. Gregory!

Well, I've decided to get back into blogging.... After 1.5 years of no blogs, I have a few things to catch up on....

First, we will start with the present....Trevor and I moved over 1700 Miles!  Our new home is in Houston, Texas.  We came here for work.  Trevor is now a Superintendent with a Industrial construction company.  We now have a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath town home, and are enjoying life...Granted, the change in weather has been crazy! :)

We just celebrated our 6 year anniversary, and life just keeps getting better, and better. 

I'm planning on doing a few blogs a month, about things that interest me, and of course big events in our life!  I hope you all tag along on the adventures of the old married couple!! :)
