Today Chris sent me an article about millennial and un(der)employment. It’s not good folks. He and I often discuss the fate of America, society and our generation and ponder potential solutions. We are generally on the same page but go back and forth about our solutions. He shared with me some comments from our co-worker and it … More Social Hour
Things have finally settled down so I can get back to meal planning. I’m excited to get back to it because I like this new organized me.

It’s Cookie Exchange day at work. A favorite activity among my co-workers. I’m impressed with the loot this year; however, I’m surprisingly optimistic that I won’t eat it all before I get home. That’s a good thing because Danny’s been clued in on the fixings and he wants some. My contribution was an Oreo Truffle Brownie. It’s … More Annual Cookie Exchange
As promised here’s the fantastic meatloaf recipe. It’s the best meatloaf I’ve ever had but I’m admittedly biased.

Way back in the day (like 3 years … More My Favorite Meatloaf
One of my favorite bloggers, Sharon at NYC Taught Me, posted today about the company Hello Fresh. It’s similar to Door to Door Organics in that food gets delivered to your doorstep. The difference is that Hello Fresh does not appear to be organic and instead of just delivering food products it provides three complete … More Hello Fresh

I’m not going to even plan for the last week of December because it will be crazy with the holidays and B being home. This is the four week plan. A lot is … More December Meals
Another busy weekend has come and gone. Friday night we went to Aunt Margaret’s for dinner with Mom and then stopped by Auntie’s for Anthony and Andrew’s birthday. Since we didn’t leave AM’s until 10 p.m. I kidnapped Mom and D for the trip to Auntie’s and it went surprisingly well. Mom didn’t have any problems so … More Weekend Update
Since our finances are taking a hit in the fun area I’m going to seriously try to work on the grocery angle. I created a meal planning template and scheduled my meals for the month. I have most of the groceries but I’ll need to pick up a couple things. Some of these I’ve tried. … More November Meal Planning
