Menu 3/28-4/2

Sorry for no posting last week but I was soaking up the sunshine in AZ :) It was wonderful! We had a blast seeing all our friends. We didn't get to see some, but it was only because we were so busy trying to see everyone! I did get to do some cooking last week which was great! Our friends Josh and Cheri who we stayed with were super awesome! We loved getting to stay with them. Plus she didn't mind having dinner ready a couple of the nights. This week I'm feeling a little lazy still and therefore we are going to be cleaning out the freezer. I plan on keeping stuff simple and easy. I am getting the spring cleaning itch and want to open the house up, but with highs in the upper 30's lower 40's we need to hold off a little bit...

Monday - diced chicken with Rice A Roni (chicken and broccoli)

Tuesday - fish and chips

Wednesday - meatloaf and scalloped potatoes

Thursday - Spaghetti and meatballs

Friday - pizza

Saturday - left overs or BBQ from freezer

Clean up Junk Room

Yes we have a Junk room. It is because we are renting the house we are in right now from family. And we would have a basement to use if the house was ours, but right now it is full of Grandpa's stuff. Grandpa has been dead since 2006. Nevertheless we have our junk room. I'm happy to report it is now clean! :) it is one of 2 spare rooms we have. Most of the time if I keep my friends kids they get this room with air mattresses. So here with out ado is my lovely new junk room, which is also going to be my craft room :)
