Hi Friends, haven't been on the Dis is AGES! All the changes just spooked me, then I had some really great Disfriends who started getting bullied on here. We have still been eating at home. Several major changes came for us, though....

1. hubby got his college degree (finally!)
2. then he got a new job, after working for the same company for over 12 years
3. we are doing the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University...which means all Disney trips were canceled, until we get out of debt. :-(
4. and finally....I found out I have celiac disease. no more gluten for me.

I have been failing so badly when it comes to eating at home. My back and hip issues have been getting worse so standing to cook has been just about impossible. I really need to just buy a stool to keep in the kitchen so I can sit and chop/cook/whatever. Then maybe I can get back into actually cooking my meals because I LOVE to cook... but I just hurt too bad.

Here is my meal plan for next week though and I plan to stick to it!
Sunday: Coconut Curry Shrimp
Monday: Hot Turkey Sandwiches, roasted squash
Tuesday: Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: GENCON!!!
Friday: GENCON!!!
Saturday: GENCON!!!
Sunday: GENCON!!! (Eating out at Fogo de Chao with friends)

I need to get back into eating at home. These past few weeks have been horrible. I have been working too much, it has been HOT, and it has been making me lazy.

This week I am trying to use up items from the freezer/pantry to save some money

Tonight we are having breakfast for dinner; pancakes with bacon and fruit

Tomorrow I work an open to close (10-9:30) so I am putting beef stew in the crockpot

Tuesday I close, so dinner will be leftovers

Wednesday will be ham slices with potatoes and zucchini

Thursday will be spaghetti with turkey meatballs

Friday and Saturday I will be out of town.

Love this as it is much needed in my home right now. Our out to eat and throwing wasted food out has gotten to be beyond the point of ridiculous. We are self imposing a pantry/fridge/freezer clean out. Gonna go through it all tomorrow while my son is at school to make a meal plan.

Tonight I did a quick peek through and found a lonely pack of ground beef, a container of already chopped bell pepper/onion mix, a bottle of salsa, a package of cheese that needs eaten soon and multiple packages of tortillas in the freezer. Sounds like a burrito/taco night to me

I am going to try to be better at this, but with the DH helping cook, it doesn't always go the way that I want it to - also, we have the tupperware microwavable pressure cooker on its way on friday so we will be using that alot, as well at the steam cooker
