Menu Plan Monday

Let me start by saying I LOVE TO MENU PLAN!!! I can plan two weeks out sometimes, but most often it is just weekly. I am a member of a Cooking Co-opp. We swap meals once a month. The number of meals vary depending of the number of participants for the month.

I also feed my freezer once a week or so. This way I always have extra meals on hand. I also plan mine out Sunday through Saturday.

Sunday	Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas (I used Beef) FREEZER MEAL
Monday	French Bread Pizza (SWAP MEAL)
Tuesday	Crockpot Brown Sugar Chicken FREEZER MEAL
Wednesday	Spaghetti Meat Balls (Spaghetti sauce in place of bbq)
Thursday	Mini Shepherd's Pies Recipe (Swap Meal)
Friday	3 Cheese baked ziti (Swap Meal)
Saturday	CROCKPOT BARBECUED CHICKEN

...AND For more Menu Plan Monday participants jump on over to visit Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie! Lots of good eats over there... :)

Basket Carnival

Laura over at Organizing Junkie has a fascination with baskets. She invited us fellow bloggers to share our spaces that were organized using baskets of any kind.

This is part of a past blog I did showing my organizational skills. I have been spring cleaning and organizing, so I thought I would share that with all of you today.
Here is my kitchen drawers & cabinets, sorry only after pics!
