Meal Planning Mondays

Last week was a bit of an off week what with Thanksgiving and all. I didn't make half of what I wanted to do but we still only ate out (well, in-ordered pizza) once so that's good. Hopefully I can stick to this week's schedule. Decided to go back to the "classics" that I know my family loves instead of trying to experiment and getting weird faces from my husband.



Monday- "Nacho Bake" (ground turkey, nacho cheese, noodle and bell pepper casserole)
Tuesday- Jambalaya with kielbasa sausage
Wednesday- Taco Night with the fam
Thursday- Philly cheese steaks with onions and peppers
Friday- Parmesan-Ranch chicken with rice and veggies
Saturday- Bacon cheeseburgers and fries
Sunday- Creamy chicken crescent rolls

I wanna go to a party....

What happened to all the Christmas parties out there? Seems like I haven't seen a whole lot of parties in the last few years. Am wondering if people have stopped wanting to celebrate or if this too is a victim of the recession. I remember when I was little that my parents would get dressed up and go to like 3-4 parties in a Christmas season. We have no parties planned this year. Granted the hubby works in a place where they do potlucks, not parties and I don't work outside the home so that rules out the office party.
Seems to be in this day and age people are less prone to celebrate but come on. maybe we should take a lesson for our fore fathers and get dolled up and play with some fondue.

perhaps I just want to be a 50s housewife. But that's another post altogether. so I guess what i'm saying is come on people, have a party and make sure to invite me :)
