Well, the last month of school is finally upon us for this school year. We made it! Seems like yesterday was the first day, but whatever. Time flies when you're busy. And this month will be no different - jammed packed full of many activities before the year ends. It's going to be fun, but busy. Did I mention the fact that we're busy?
We're continuing our "clean out the deep freeze" initiative and we get pretty darn close to completing it this month. If Tim wasn't so addicted to buying in bulk or stocking up with coupons and deals, we might've been able to get it accomplished a little sooner. There's still an entire shelf of Johnsonville smoked sausages and the door is full of shredded cheese, but these things can and will be used in a timely manner. Just can't buy any more until they are.
The rest of the freezer is looking pretty bare, so only about 1/2 the month is actually cleaning it out. The rest is making some new recipes and some old favorites ... guess the days of small grocery bills will soon be over (until Tim gets his way and restocks that freezer!). Although, we must say we are truly enjoying this monthly planning of meals. It is working out great for us. One day and done is so nice!
Since we're making quite a few new recipes, look for some new recipe posts throughout the month.
It feels like spring is upon us ... maybe. We did hear of some pretty low temperatures coming in KC again. Ridiculous! We have NEVER had our heat on this long! It's MAY for crying out loud. Well, needless to say, we are looking forward to spring's arrival for sure.
Happy Spring (finally)!
