*This is a sticky post- it will stay on top until I post Part 2- see new posts belowAll of us have heard that phrase.It's a question that can up our stress level in no time flat as we rack our brains for what to make for our family.Usually the process in our brains goes something like this:"Crap, I forgot to pull that chicken out 0f the freezer""I wonder if I can defrost it in the microwave""No.

I am working on a series of posts explaining how I go about grocery shopping and menu planning in hopes it may help someone else.

I was bored and was looking through my Pantry. On our last trip to BJ's (like Sam's club) I had grabbed a six-pack of cake mixes and hadn't done anything with them yet.Wonderful does not like frosting so making a normal cake doesn't fly in this house.

This recipe just kinda happened. I was trying to come up with a way to use the turkey meat I had made into burgers and frozen. As burgers, they just weren't very good so I need to use up the meat somehow.I hope you like this- we loved it.Turkey Noodle Casserole1-lb Ground Turkey6-oz Wide egg noodles1-can cream o'chicken soup1/2 -can milkfrozen broccoli pieces (amount-your preference)2 -cups

This post has no recipes.I have a monthly menu planning/grocery shopping system that works for my family.When others see it they always ask how it works so I figured I would share it with you. I know there are probably others who could use some help organizing their meals. All are done in one Excel workbook and I'll be happy to share with anyone who thinks it will help them.

OK I've been a bit bad. Haven't really cooked anything since the Alfredo.That doesn't mean I haven't fed the family, I just haven't made anything worth blogging about.Every month I make up a calendar with all our dinners listed on it for the month.

This was my first attempt at Alfredo sauce and I have to say, it came out pretty good.I think it needed a little less flour or Parmesan and a little more salt.Served alongside:Tyson Chicken patties (in deep fryer) and a couple of Grands Flaky biscuits( I apparently got a can of weird shaped ones?)I didn't realize till after dinner that no vegetables had made it to the plate.The recipe:4
