Meal planning:
One of my resolutions, maybe last year's, is to plan my meals out a little better. I am definitely a sale shopper and I love to "stock up" on certain things so that I am always prepared, but would like to take that one step further. I often anxiously await the sale flyers( online and paper) to see what is the best price and then let my mind wander with what I can make with them when I get home. I let very few things go to waste, but if I play my cards right, I think I can eat like a Queen and have the peace of mind, too.
This weeks meal plan looks like this:
Lunches: Make some split peas soup, bagels,
Monday: Mexican tortilla bake, (freezable)

Tuesday: Cranberry chicken with mashed potatoes, peas. http://www.kraftcanada.com/en/recipes/catalina-cranberry-chicken-114749.aspx
Wednesday: leftover Cranberry chicken. (prep some no-knead bread for tomorrow)
Thursday: Beef Bourgignon & bread (from the freezer) Friend is visiting and then off that evening.
Friday: DINNER EXCHANGE TODAY! Mu Shu Pork and mandarin pancakes. (New recipe)
Saturday: Make Mango curry chicken for a potluck that night, frozen pizza for everyone else.
Sunday: Salmon patties & garlic mayonnaise, use bread dough for buns, salad.
That's one week, I am inspired to plan a few more!
