Anyway, even though I'm just working three hours a day, it does change how I manage the day quite a bit. I need to be more planned and efficient with my time. One of the things I'm going to try to be better about is meal planning. Again. I did it for a little while this summer and then fell away from it. Well, I'm going to try it again.
Tonight we are having salmon, broccoli, and pesto pasta.
The other meals I've planned are:
Chicken Piccata
Taco Soup
Grilled Cheese & Soup
Pigs in a Blanket (for the busy nights!)
Chicken Cacciatore (Pioneer Woman's of course!)
Roast Chicken
Eggplant Parmesan (thank you Amy McAdams for reminding me!)
Sidenote- Will just fell on the floor. He actually pretended to trip and fall and then looked at me. Then he started fake crying. Heaven help me.
Anyway, for budget sake I need to really stick to these meals and make sure we aren't running for fast food b/c I haven't planned well. I'll let you know how it goes.
And here's a picture just because it feels like a waste to post without a picture.
Will decided to skate across the floor on two DVD covers. Fun!

Girl, I use the crockpot a TON. I even make my lasagna in it.
I know I need to use it more. I'm always happy when I do. I actually made my chicken cacciatore in it last week and loved it. I haven't done the lasagna, you'll have to send me your recipe.
Hooray for meal planning- and congrats on the sweet new job situation. That is truly ideal and really hard to come by in the teaching field. :0)
