Oh, for planning out loud!

Mount Giveawayous has been bagged up and is ready for delivery! Yay!!! I think Ihad forgotten that there was carpet on our basement floor but there is! There really, really is! We had a family meeting planned for last night but a key voter was unavailable for voting due to illness so it was postponed until tonight and then off I go to get groceries.

We have a lot of groceries to get and tonight is the only night I can go before Saturday and Saturday marks the beginning of a new sale week and the beginning of new coupons. The amount of groceries and extras we need I am hoping to get in on the $30 off coupon this week and that means tonight. So I have a piece of paper beside me at my office so I can write down items we need as I think of them. This way I can get B from work, head home, eat supper, have meeting and j-j-j-j-jet off to the grocery store to get my food and still be home in enough time to the things put away in an orderly fashion and perhaps get some meatballs and mini meatloaves made to ease the School Week burden.

No school now until Jan. but I may as well get a good start on prepared meals. I have to plan a little bit better now as C is getting bass lessons again from Yoshi and will need after school time to practice (on School Weeks). This means I just need to plan things that are a bit less time consuming for her to deal with and perhaps are just pop-in-the-oven-and-make-sure-they-don't-burn or turn-down-slow-cooker type meals.

Meals that I can prepare for School Weeks to put in freezer:
-Lasagna
-Mini Meatloaves (to have with Noodles and Sauce or Baked Potatoes)
-Sweet and Sour Meatballs (with Rice...do rice cookers make it easier to make rice?)
-Macaroni Cassserole (macaroni, stewed tomatoes, ground beef, green and red peppers, celery, onion, garlic and cheddar) cooked and ready to throw into the oven to heat up.
-Hashbrown Bake

Slow Cooker Meals:
-Pot roast
-Stew
