The Best Meal-Planning Website Ever!

Thank you so much to All This Grace and Charm who shared this wonderfully easy way to meal plan. 


Normally this process is very long for me.
  1. I look over the adds and see what's on sale as far as meats.
  2. Pull out cookbooks and start looking for recipes. Always have helpful hands during this part.
  3. Write down the recipes I will be using, what cookbook they are in, and the page number.
  4. Write down all the things I need from the store from the recipe.
  5. Put everything away.
  6. Hang my weekly list on the fridge.
  7. Head to the store.
Now that I found How Does She Do It it's not that time consuming anymore. 

I made up categories after watching her four minute video from her ideas. I went through the recipes (still am actually but had to stop and write this so I could share the wonderful website) and started adding them to my lists. I'm going to keep going through the recipes for now and then I'm going to make my list for the week. I'm not heading out to the store though today because of the snow outside so hopefully I will on Saturday or Sunday depending on how much snow we get. 

Here are a few reasons I love this site...
  1. It has a ton of recipes!
  2. It meal plans for all meals not just dinner! This in turn will help me plan healthy breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners for our whole family! I can plan lunches for M to take to work as well as lunches that I will be making for us at home! Love it!
  3. It puts everything I need on a shopping list for me. I can then either delete things that I know I already have or print it out head to the pantry and mark off everything I already have. This will be great once I start getting a stock pile built up from coupons!
  4. Every time I log on I learn something new and wonderful the site can do! 
  5. IT'S FREE!!!!!!! Yep all this help and it doesn't cost me a penny!
Seriously, check out How Does She Do It and see how it can help you and your family! I know I'm going to love it! It even has Gluten Free recipes for my readers that have those needs too!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
