My garden finally got planted and that includes tomato plants which I usually plant with leftover fish scraps from the market when they fillet a fish for me. The fish didn’t get thawed in time for me to plant them with the tomatoes so I used the fish to make a fish stew instead. I… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

Our weekly meal plan had several arrows and redirects this week. Spring sports activities kept our family switching things around on our weekly meal plan. The good news is no one went hungry and we didn’t go out to dinner but we did have to purchase eggs at the grocery store. This drives me nuts! … Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan
