Menu for the week!

 

Happy, happy Saturday!  Saturdays are wonderful aren’t they?  Even if you have to work, or run errands or do chores…… the world is happier on a Saturday!  I love that kids have off school, I love that I feel like I can get some errands done … I just love it.  I am so excited today!  I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR CONTACTS! AND GLASSES!!  You know last week I broke my glasses,( again note to self, no sleeping with glasses !)  I wasn’t going to be able to get in for an appointment for a few weeks.. but I got in yay!!  Happy day!  I wanted to do a quick run down of the menu for this week!  Now, last week a few things changed.  That is okay!  We had ham instead of roast on sunday and switched chili for ziti.  It happens and when it does just go with it.  This week is the last week of school before kids get out for two weeks!  YAY!  Looking forward to that!  Okay here you go.

This is for the week!

There you go!  Again, sometimes things change… it happens.  I try to keep things easy.  I also know that even when it seems it can be easier to just order something or pop a premade pizza, sometimes its really not faster or better.  Last night, things were a bit busier than normal.  It was 7pm, I had not even started dinner yet!  I thought about having the kids eat cereal… it is true!   They would be hungry in an hour if they did that…. so I just decided to still do the homemade pizza and in all honesty, in the time it would have taken to either order a pizza or go pick one up… we had fresh, cheesy, yummy pizza!  And lots of happy kids!  On top of that, I saved money! YAY!  I love it when that happens!  I hope you have a great week!  If you would like any of these meals featured on the blog, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!  I will do that!  Make someones day today! Share a smile or two!

 

HUGE hugs,
