At least 6 weeks and maybe more. Mondays are a hard day at work for me. I am super busy and my caseload is heavy and hard and exhausting. I am struggling to keep up but I know that my attitude makes a difference.\u00a0 Therefore this week, I choose joy!\u00a0 \u00a0 I have been reading online that October is &#8220;Crockpot month&#8221;\u00a0 . I am always up for a good challenge, however I am sure that I would face a revolt if I attempted to use the crock pot every day of the week. So for now I am going to attempt to use it 2x a week. We have some favorites but I also am wanting to try new things to see if they work.\u00a0 My ultimate goal would be to include at least one meal a week in the crockpot. This is much easier in the cooler month but again it is great to have goals.<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast- Saturday-I made myself some fried eggs\u00a0 \u00a0Sunday- Bagels from Costco\u00a0 Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday Friday\u2013 find it (oatmeal, omelets, cereal and milk,sausage, pop-tarts, and eggs) We need to finish up the bagels and my goal is to make a hot breakfast two days a week but this has yet to happen. But it is a great goal to have.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch- Saturday- Rotisserie\u00a0Chicken, stuffing and cranberry sauce Sunday- East Coast wings.\u00a0 Left-overs are always great for lunches and I have a stash of crackers and other snack items as well.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner- Saturday-Kids all ate out for Homecoming, Matt and I found left-overs or something.\u00a0 Sunday- Potato Soup (one meal in the freezer\u00a0and 5 lunches for this week.) Monday-Stuffed pepper and broccoli\u00a0cornbread. Tuesday- Taco Pasta\u00a0 Wednesday-Beef Raman in Crockpot\u00a0(new)Thursday- Baked Ziti\u00a0 Friday- new crockpot meal-<\/p>\n<p>Small steps = progress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since I have posted a menu\u00a0 plan for the week.
