This week, we are cleaning out the deep freeze! Lots of choice nights but it saves on the wallet!
Monday – FFY Buffet (a lovely assortment of baked haddock or leftover marinated pork tenderloin)
Tuesday – another choice night: chili for suitNtie, corn and squash soup for me, and lasagna bowl for the kids)
Wednesday – sloppy joes
Thursday – grilled pork cutlets
Friday – italian crockpot roast beef
Saturday – breakfast for dinner: suitNtie will have a smoothie and the kids will have waffles and sausage (I’m out at a meeting all day and I have a party at night)
Sunday – pizza night! TBD.
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.
