Winter is a good time to do a bunch of casseroles, soups, stews and whatever to get rid of those extras! Planning meals has come in handy for me - on those crazy days where the kids are driving me batty, I don't have to worry about what to make for dinner. Also, I plan easy meals for the nights I know Mark will be home later, I we have a lot of errands to run and I'll be tired.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16919602216182139701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3849746741752006640.post-33124304196427463852010-01-07T11:51:25.074-06:002010-01-07T11:51:25.074-06:00I tend to go through phases...sometimes I can go a...I tend to go through phases...sometimes I can go about eating from the pantry and freezer for awhile and sometimes not. I think it depends on how we are eating and what time of year it is too. Like in summer, it just sounds so much better to eat fresher items than the dry goods in my pantry no matter how much excess I have. :)<br /><br />I do need to get better about planning several of my weekly meals using ingredients and items that I have on hand or that need used up before going and making meals with ingredients I need to buy.Amandahttp://www.hohnstreiterrific.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3849746741752006640.post-17885462565643548022010-01-05T07:18:07.603-06:002010-01-05T07:18:07.603-06:00I guess you could say were are Spartans right now....I guess you could say were are Spartans right now.<br /><br />Right around the time we moved, I got a mass email from a friend about a family she knows of who have 13 people living in one house (adults, kids, now a kid with a kid...), who are struggling to eat. Especially with the holiday vacation, and all the kids being home, and not in school, where they get free breakfast and lunches, etc. The email said they were hungry and had no food, and please bring over your dinner leftovers to this family, etc. So Dan and I prayed about it, and decided they could just have whatever food was in our house: Fridge, Freezer, Cupboard. We were/are not starving. We didn't need it like they did. So we are starting from scratch here....Gailnoreply@blogger.com
