The final MPM for 2009!!! I can’t believe this is it. The first New Year’s Resolution that I successfully carried out for the entire year. I am so proud of myself.
Yes, menu planning will continue into 2010. It will be a messy start due to kitchen renovations and our current lack of a stove, but we hit rough patches this year, too. I am confident that we’ll get through it!
This week, keep an eye out for some posting about the year to come on the Kitchen. We’ll be incorporating some new content and features in the New Year!
This week on the Kitchen table:
Monday – grilled cheeses and tomato soup (comfort food to recover from the hectic holiday celebrations)
Tuesday – buffalo style turkey burgers
Wednesday – breakfast for dinner- crockpot steel cut oatmeal with pork sausage
Thursday – Chinese takeout (yes, I know, but it’s tradition)
Friday – FFY Buffet
Saturday – dinner at a friend’s house (Thanks, Kerri!) I’m bringing a dessert TBD. No bake, of course.
Sunday – dijon crusted pork cutlets
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
