Getting a grip on dinner...

When the clock strikes 4:00 and dinner isn't "in the works" restaurants begin looking more appealing than they should. Back in the day when we had five little ones three years old and under, necessity required that I think about dinner before that daunting "4:00 'til daddy gets home" window. I am very passionate about my meal system because it has had such a positive impact in my life. My sweet friend Alyson took time to start me on the right path in the kitchen and for that I am forever grateful. There are a few basic truths that I built my meal system on: 1. It isn't much more work to double or triple a recipe that I am already making. 2. Some nights all I want to do is boil water or open the oven door but still have a great meal 3. Well planned meals make me feel successful as a wife and mommy 4. When I am using my meal system I cut my grocery bills by about 50%!! The calendar, shopping list, and recipes work together to make it oh so easy. This is the calendar for the first two weeks of the six week program: Coming Soon: shopping list, recipes, and extras
