Dinner thoughts

Last week marks my first week of using menu4moms.  I have been subscribing for over a year now, and when the email comes in I look at it then delete or save it whatever.  Then last week I just grown tired of my same old standby's.  I get home and I am so tired that I just don't even want to think about what I am going to make let alone try and decide if I have the stuff to make it. 

I opened the email, printed the menu, which comes with the recipes too, and put it on my fridge with the recipes in my junk drawer.  Then I printed the shopping list.  I went over everything deciding what changes I need to make to it to lower the calories and fat content, and went shopping.

When I was finished with this weeks shopping, I had only spent $35  which is alot less than what the shopping list assumed it would be but, I am cooking for only 3 people.  Also there was a few items I already had, but I did pick up a few essentials.

All in all, I was happy because of the no-brainer cooking, and the family enjoyed it cause it was different.  In fact last night we had stuffed pork chops and cinnamon baked apples  2 things I don't think I have ever made, and it was GOOD!
