Where is Monday's Menu?

Well, I am doing a little research here to help you(and me) save some money on your menu planning. My plan is to get a Sunday paper each week, go through my local sales papers and match sales with coupons and then make my menu, then shopping on Monday. SO-next week I should have everything set up and we can all try to save some money together.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just want to tell everyone HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Try to take some time to reflect on what you are truly thankful for! It seems like in the hustle and bustle of daily life, we forget about ourselves and the things we should be thankful for! I am thankful for my family, my little man and the life I have. I never thought I would have a child-so I am eternally grateful for my son-he is the light of my life and makes my days so much brighter! I also have a very loving family and really awesome friends. We are having dinner at my brothers tomorrow-I think I wrote about that the other day. We should have about 70 people-all of my siblings, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, in-laws and outlaws-and every one else. God Bless and keep you safe on this holiday weekend-and all other times too!

OOPS!!

I forgot to put the URL for my new recipes blog! It is miasrecipes.blogspot.com for now, I will be getting the regular domain soon I hope. What I will be doing is putting all of my recipes on that site and when I post my menu I will have links to them which will take you to that page. I only have the one recipe on there right now but will be putting more in the next few weeks. Keep in mind that most of these recipes are recipes that I actually make and put together. I am notorious for making too much and just throwing stuff together to make something. I do sometimes take a recipe to start with but decide to add more stuff to it. Be sure to stay tuned and check out the other site often for some yummy recipes!
