Menu Plan Monday

Monday - Oops, I forgot to start the chicken broth in the crock pot this morning, so we opted for a frozen pizza from our freezer and some fruit. Gavin and I are sick and our kitchen faucet is only nominally functional until a week from now when the new part comes in. Oh well, some days are better than others.

Tuesday - chicken noodle soup (hopefully!)

Wednesday - chili (also, hopefully - I have to start this in the morning, too)

Thursday - leftover chicken soup

Friday - leftover chili

Saturday - pot pie with crescent roll crust

Sunday - leftovers

Somehow it seems we end up having something different than I plan at least once a week, whether it's that we have dinner with family or friends or someone gives us something. I'm certainly not complaining!

Bread, Jury Duty, Menu

A friend of ours who is in culinary school came over to help me get better at making bread (especially bread that needs to be kneaded) on Monday. We made focaccia and honey whole wheat (below). Yum!

Also, I had jury duty today but ended up not getting chosen to sit on a jury and I got to leave at 11:45am for the day. Woo-hoo! The weather outside is beautiful and I didn't have to be doing anything in particular at any particular time for the whole afternoon! (Gavin is playing at Grandma's.)

And finally, here's our menu for the week, a little late:

Tuesday - leftover stir fry

Wednesday - celebrate brother-in-law graduating from college (congrats Andrew!!) by going out with family

Thursday - roasted chicken, spaghetti squash with Romano, salt and pepper

Friday - leftover chicken, frozen veggies (make broth in Crock Pot)

Saturday - chicken noodle soup using broth

Sunday - leftovers

$10 off at diapers.com

If you've never shopped at diapers.com before, you can get $10 off by using this code: YXUN6211. Also, there is a $14.97 rebate you can send in for from Parenting Magazine (or get a free year's subscription if you'd prefer that instead). And if you buy $49 worth of stuff, your 2-day shipping is free. And some of their disposable diapers are currently on sale. But even if you don't use disposables, they have a few brands of cloth (which you can only very, very rarely get on sale, in my experience).

Thanks to Frugal Living NW for the heads up! Also, FYI, the code is a referral code for me in particular, and when a new customer orders, I will get $1 off my next purchase. When you purchase for the first time they will send you your own personal code, too, and then you too can post it on your blog and get money back if new people order. :)
