Fifty Two Weeks! Now What?

Yesterday we share the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the Menu Plan with you, dear readers.

And you may be asking yourself, now what?

Will they continue on this path of planning?
Or will they join the rest of the working 30-somethings they know and come home from work, staring into the fridge, unclear as to what they are going to make for dinner?

Happy Anniversary, Menu Plan!

Gentle readers, this marks the one year anniversary of menu planning.

It's amazing to see how far we've come since we first started menu planning fifty-two weeks ago.

We'd love to do some fancy planning here, something amazing and special, but, the fact of the matter is that we started menu planning because we are two very busy people on a fairly tight budget.

Mother's Day

This Sunday is Mother's Day. I'm a mother's boy, I won't deny it.

I can only think of two Mother's Days I haven't spent with my mom.

This will be the third and since this blog is huge with moms I present a Mother's Day tribute.

Stocking Up

Gentle readers, as you well know, your MatchGirl and Boyfriend have been menu planning for almost a year.

You'd think that because of this, we're pretty organized and have an awesomely stocked pantry.

We don't have a ton of space in our kitchen so we tend not to stock up on a lot of things.

Menu Plan: Week Fifty-One

Gentle readers ... next week marks one year of menu planning! Can you believe how far we've come?

Nearly a year into our little project, we're still getting the hang of things, figuring out how to best shop for the week at hand and learning the patterns of what we will and won't bother to make when the end of the week nears...

Anyway! We'll talk more about that next week. 

The First Saturday in May

This Saturday is the Kentucky Derby. The most exciting two minutes in sports. Perhaps my favorite sporting event of the year to base a party around. Sure, some, if not most, love a good Super Bowl party- but not this guy. I'm a Derby party man.

Menu Plan: Week Fifty

We're in the home stretch now, gentle readers, only two more weeks till we hit a year of menu plans!

Last week, Boyfriend posted the menu plan. We didn't do so good ... but, I've got to say, you're MatchGirl is not disappointed. The substitutions that we were made were pretty tasty, for sure. And some of those substitutions were made due to me having to work later than expected.
