Weekly Recipe Round-Up

Sorry friends....this weekend was a REALLY busy one for me. I appologize for not posting, but family and friends took up every inch of my time. I got to go out with girlfriends, sans kids, for the first time in forever. It was such a fun night! I also had book club, hosted play group (more on that in another post), attended an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, and celebrated Christmas with Jake's family early, since we leave for Maui on Saturday. We were BUSY!! But, I am back now and ready to share my weekly round-up recipes with you! I hope you all had a busy and fun weekend, too! :)

Weekly Recipe Round-Up

One of the reasons I make a weekly menu of recipes is so I don't buy a bunch of stuff that I don't need. I organize my list into the following categories:

Fruits/Veggies
Meat/Seafood/Poultry
Breads & Deli
Baking/Spices
Canned/Boxed
Dairy
Baby
Cleaning/Home Supplies
Misc

By doing this, I avoid running from one end of the store to the other a million times. I did this before Preston, but it is even more helpful now that I shop with him, as my window of opportunity is a lot smaller. I have to be as efficient as possible, in order to avoid a meltdown :)

Below are the Recipes for the week. I try to incorporate some comfort foods along with salads, desserts and breakfast. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please let me know, as I am always looking to improve and give you what you want.
