Monday
activities: holiday and piano
dinner: steaks and salad (I had defrosted the steaks for last night's dinner but then we had too many snacks while watching the Jets game and nobody felt like it) So I'm off the hook :)
Tuesday
activities: none :) but it's cleaning lady day so I don't want too much of a mess
dinner: Linguine and Clam sauce, salad
Wednesday
activities: none!?! I'm getting a bad feeling that I forgot to input something on the calendar
dinner: Roast chicken, some kind of potato and corn. Hot tip: Our Stop and Shop has a roast chicken special on Friday where you can get the rotisserie chicken all cooked for 5 dollars each! I usually buy 1 or 2 and put them in the freezer - take it out in the morning to defrost on the counter and reheat at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes. So easy!
Thursday
activities: swimming and basketball
dinner: hot dog night (we ended up skipping these last week) Stop and Shop often has a BOGO on these and I've never met a BOGO I didn't like. Freezer looks like I am about to open a ball park. Time to make some hot dogs :) Hotdogs!! Get yer hotdogs heeyah!!
Friday
activities: basketball
dinner: fried chicken cutlets, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach
Saturday
activities: 3 basketball games, 2 basketball practices, a birthday party to attend, and a
birthday party to host with 9 girls sleeping over. If you think of it, please light a candle for me today ;)
dinner: take out
Sunday
activities: 2 basketball games, ccd
dinner: Pioneer Woman's Penne A La Betsy (linked) and salad - if you haven't tried this you must!! It's really good!
I have all the basics on hand already to make all these meals so wish me luck :) My grocery bills have been off the charts high lately so it's time to organize these pantries and freezers! xo, Brie

consider the candle lit. if i knew you IRL I would stage an intervention. Or bring you over a large bottle of wine Saturday night! fun times!!!!!!! your daughter will love you 4EVER!
I need to get organized too. We have been eating out too much, and all of our waistlines are showing it (or the dryer is shrinking our clothes again.)
I like to do that every now and then. skip the grocery store and use what's on hand. Clean my freezer out. I've been spending a ton on groceries too!
Good for you! Grocery shopping is my #1 hated task! Best part of having kids is making them go once they can drive!
