Meal planning!

I haven't been around for awhile and the simple answer is that I am just too darn busy!!! I have to say that I am failing miserably at staying organized, work 40 hours a week, take care of 3 kids in school and manage a household. So I have been doing some research today into making some changes to make my life easier and one of those things is meal planning. I am hoping this will save me time and money and if my trip to the grocery today is any indication I am already succeeding at that! I am blogging again in the hopes to gain some accountability and organization. I visited a site that let's you publish your blogged meal plans with others to share ideas. So here it goes! My week is different than most. I have rotating off days so my Saturday is today!

Wed: chicken spaghetti /green beans(http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/chicken_spaghet/)

Thurs: Corn Chowder/biscuits (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/10/corn-cheese-chowder/)

Mon: Pigs in a blanket/Baked Beans/Applesauce

Tues:  Filet/roasted white and sweet potato/veggie

That is what I have come up with. Obviously I just found The Pioneer Woman website which I love! Just a few modifications here and there but a great place for ideas and some new additions to the repertoire.
