Poverty Party Post #2 - A little help here please...

Well it's been almost 2 months since I've been meal planning. Good news - it is saving us money! To be sure. It is saving me time too because I am not going to the grocery store 5 times in 7 days!

However, Sunday's suck.

Because that's the day I have to come up with a week's worth of menu items and GAH - it is not easy! I actually love to cook, but it is so hard to come up with a meal plan that everyone living here will actually eat. And planning on something that people who live here can eat when they are actually HERE is tough too - during the week eating together is a non-happening.

Mostly I've let myself become a short order cook. Which any mother alive will tell you was THE stupidest move EH-VAH! So what I need from you all is a few links to some amazing meals that will please everyone - we're chicken and meat eaters - kids love the pasta too.

oh - and good news - we're down to ONE brace face in the house now! Where will we spend that extra money?!?! Woot!
