Last week was definitely interesting- only missed out on one meal due to some brief insanity, which was great. This week is kind of a trip back to a lot of classics. The weekdays are filled with foods that we’ve all grown up with. The weekend gets a little hectic (more on that next week), so we are going back to basics that suitNtie can provide for the kiddos. Nothing fancy, but sustaining.
7. Monday – salisbury steak
8. Tuesday – spaghetti & meatballs with roasted garlic bread
9. Wednesday -FFY Buffet
10. Thursday – chicken croquettes
11. Friday – Pizza Night today due to my work schedule. chicken margherita!
12. Saturday – working in Maine, suitNtie will handle the kiddos with waffles and sausage
13. Sunday – working again, hot dogs will keep things easy

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.
