Something New


This week we're trying menu planning. I am so sick to death of the dreaded question "So what do you feel like for dinner tonight?" I could scream. I can't take it any more! I also can't take going to the grocery store 3 or 4 times a week because we can't decide what we want for dinner until RIGHT before we eat. So....I made a menu:

Sunday - Sammy's Pizza (I was craving it!)

Monday - Pumpkin Lasagne

Tuesday - leftovers

Wednesday - Taco Torilla dish (from Raesha's website)

Thursday - leftovers

Friday - I'm gone so....dinner on our own

I know this is pretty simple because we can have leftovers for 2 dinners and we're eating out one, but I feel good. It's a start.

Tonight's dinner - pumpkin lasagne - was quite good. Steve really liked it and I think I did too. I pretty much love pumpkin ANYTHING so...there ya go. Hopefully we'll be able to have more variety in our meals and less running to the store last minute. God, I hope so.

The menu is a great idea. Every night we go through the same deal, asking each other what we want until we settle on whatever is easiest. May have to try your approach.

I need to do that, just plan a menu. But I never know what I'm going to feel like eating. And also, on the weekend when I'm at the store, I'm always much more ambitious about what I feel like cooking. Then the weekday reality sets in and I realize that I don't have the time or inclination to make what I had planned. But I need to set a menu and stick with it.

Recipe for pumpkin lasagna please!

We need to do that too. We often end up eating a lot of the same stuff.

I'm with Donna - can you share the pumpkin lasgana recipe. Jordan has gone vegetarian again so I'm looking for alternates.

I always feel good when we plan meals ahead, which isn't very often. We tried to do that this weekend for this week, but I got laaazzzyyy...

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
