Sunday Fun – Consignment Sale and Meal Planning… YEAH, that’s FUN!!!
unday Funday – not so much… Anyone else ever get themselves into too much to handle at one time? I am famous for doing that to myself… this weekend (being a long weekend) I committed myself to going through some clothes and FINALLY getting situated with the WINTER clothes (and putting away the shorts and swimsuits for GAWD SAKES!!!) I know I have mentioned MANY times that organization is not my strong suit… if it was I could probably RULE THE WORLD – doncha’ know??!! Anyhow – in this house, I swear, we have enough clothes for a small country… yet I have a tough time finding clean underwear…. SERIOUSLY – is that TMI? Oh well, we’re all friends here, right?? And where in the name of all that is good and wholley is that bag of heavy sweat-shirts that I put away to be easily accessible when I need it – which is NOW…. UGH!!
Anyhow, I have a wonderful friend that is the “organizational queen” and she and another friend own and operate a bi-annual consignment sale which is coming up… Check out MOTHERTIME MARKETPLACE here – HI Jen and Jessi!! AND I say I am going to get rid of the clothes once and for all, every single time – I mean really, last time I actually got my act together and took clothes I made over $500… So that is my goal… I am bagging up all I can (I am going to use the “Mommy REP. – Helper Service” and take a reduced commission but will have someone else do all the work for me – Hi Brandi!!) and am excited about the reduction of clothes we will have to dig through to find something; 1 – weather appropriate, 2 – that actually fits… and a pair of clean underwear!!!
So anyhow, baby steps here… I have one full big black garbage bag and want to have at least a second by the end of the weekend… which in my twisted mind has me home working so I might as well think about my weekly meal plan and multi-task myself half to death… LOL! See my issues??? And since I am thinking about the week’s meal plan, I might as well document the horror of it all so someone can laugh WITH me…. You are laughing WITH me – and not AT me – right????
So back in the kitchen I go – where I do really LOVE to be, I just wish I had a “cleaner up – er” to follow me around…don’t we all! Anyhow, making my meal plan on Sundays really allows me to plan ahead and get a head start on everything for the week. For example, we like to have a big family meal on Sundays and I try to make a bunch extra of whatever the main course is and then plan some quick week night meals from the leftovers. This week I chose a ham dinner for our Sunday Meal and then picked out a few more ham dishes for the week. One of the meals we have all been craving is Chicken Cordon Blue so I added it to the meal plan ~ and realizing I need chunked chicken, I am actually making the chicken today and picking a few other meals including the chicken to round out the week’s meals.
So here is the WEEKLY MEAL PLAN:
SUNDAY: Ham Dinner (Did you know that pouring soda/pop over your ham reduces the “saltiness” – it has made a HUGE difference in the taste of my hams and I will never NOT use it again!!)
MONDAY: Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole (New Recipe I’ll share this week)
TUESDAY: Baked Fried Chicken with a Salad
WEDNESDAY: Baked Ziti – Olive Garden Recipe w/Alfredo and Leftovers of Salad and Chicken
THURSDAY: Ham Sliders (another new recipe that I am trying out as our SuperBowl highlight)and Baked Mac’n’Cheese using Gnocchi – made in the crockpot!
FRIDAY: Not so Sloppy Joes – my friend Julie introduced these to me and I have to try them… Grands biscuits, flattened out and filled and folded over sloppy joe mix, with cheese of course… and baked to perfection…. YUMM – I can’t wait!!
SATURDAY: Ham and Cheese Braid
SUNDAY: Turkey Dinner – YUP, another biggie to have lots of leftovers and plan some easy meals for the next week!
So – how is your weekend going? Does anyone else want to share their dysfunction?? How about what you plan to eat this week?? Let’s CHAT!!!!

Michelle you always make me laugh! You are so cute, I wish I lived closer and I would love to share a glass of wine with you!
I’m taking a break from homework, as my teens just told me I answered the English question wrong. Three paragraphs and an ending wrong… back to the drawing board! Ugh!!
Today were having the Tops fried chicken with Aldi’s potato salad, hey I can’t cook everyday!! I also cubed some Helluva Chipotle cheese along with pita chips, crackers and pepperoni for munching…
Monday – Tempura fried cauliflower and home made baked meatballs, mini corn on the cob.
Tuesday – Crockpot split pea soup with rolls
Wednesday – Greek baked lemon chicken breasts with roasted potatoes and sauteed garlic broccolini
Thursday – Spaghetti, garlic bread & salad
Friday – Veggie lasagna roll ups with an awesome salad, garlic bread
Saturday – Leftover, clean the fridge day
Sunday – Whole roasted chicken made according to Alex Guaraccheli from the food network with lemon butter & olive tapanade, out of this world good!! Mashed potatoes, roasted garlic asparagus
That’s it in my world… is it 5:00 o’clock yet? Must be somewhere right?

LOL Didi… The TOPS fried chicken is our favorite!!! WHY does your meal plan sound so much better than mine??? YUMMY!!!!
My menu sounds better? Common, I freakin drooled at your mac & cheese w/ gnocci & the chicken cordon blue.
Wait till Wednesday on my blog. I have BBQ Chipotle Sausage pockets. Awesome dinner & game time snacks for sure. I made my own dough, but obviously you can buy pizza dough. So easy Michelle and soooooo darn good!!
I’m really not getting any homework done, this is not good.
I just got back from 2 CVS for the Nivea deals, all were wiped.
I need 5t stuff if you have any.
