I meant to also say to your comment: Yes, we are so very thankful and blessed that our three are close and were able to spend Thanksgiving together (the younger two drove to their big sister's home, especially made it a point, when they learned that our son in law was working Thanksgiving day at the hospital and that my hubby and I were spending Thanksgiving week up at my dad's to help him after his heart surgery. I wish that we were all together, but their Thanksgiving break and break from work schedules were too short.)<br /><br />Blessings & Aloha!Personalized Sketches and Sentimentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540064662050920859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383001279394338563.post-38105464830547054812011-01-10T08:44:10.267-04:002011-01-10T08:44:10.267-04:00With our three grown and living out of state, eith...With our three grown and living out of state, either off to college or married, I find that my hubby and i have eaten out more than before since I have been working outside the home. (mostly once during the weekend and also on Mondays (I work very late on Mondays and get home after 8pm-so my hubby has lately been buying me Mexican-Mexican Monday for Mama M :o) I really should bring out my crock pot recipes for Mondays!...but up until our youngest was still in high school, it was a blue moon that we ate out-even with all his high school sports and activities...it was homecooking.<br />Your week of frugal dinner finds are great :o) And a very great idea to rotate each child's favorite meals :o)<br /><br />Blessings & Aloha!<br />Thank you dear blog friend for stopping by!

I'm going to try making my own next time ~ thanks!<br /><br />With both of us working, I try to save time whenever I can. We use our slow cooker several nights a week, wash all greens upon purchasing and I'll even cook meat and then freeze if I don't need it until later in the week. I can't imagine doing this for a family 7.

Some get cubed and some halved and some into strips. Then I freeze it in meal-size servings. Makes cooking so much easier to have it all ready to go for me. Buying a chest freezer saves me a lot of $$ too because I can buy meats and stuff on sale and stock up.<br /><br />Do you use your crockpot? That is my biggest time saver. Dump it in, go about my day, dinner is yummy.Preppy Pink Crocodilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396889798988617272noreply@blogger.com
