 We had another delicious month of meals.  I did better sticking to my menu these past few weeks and have been doing better remember to check my pantry, fridge, & freezer for all the ingredients instead of assuming I already have them on hand.  



1. BBQ chicken, Rice a Roni, and steamed broccoli.

  3. These all look delicious!! I need to bake another bread ASAP, kind of took a break from it because I'd eat too much of it, but there isn't much better than homemade bread!

    1. We had backed off from baking homemade bread for a bit too but it really is the best. Especially on a cold, rainy day!

  4. I think I need to eat breakfast -- your foods are looking so good! I'm impressed you don't do a lot of repeats -- for instance, we have tacos almost every week.

    1. One of the reasons I swapped to monthly planning was the hopes of adding more variety into our diets/ dinner menu.

  9. Joanne, my mouth is watering all over my keyboard! Everything looks amazing. I really do like fish and need to make it more often. Both haddock and salmon and really any kind of fish are faves here. Thanks for sharing and linking with me.

    1. I try to make fish once a week but there are only certain types that my family will eat otherwise I'd be making scallops, tuna steaks, swordfish... I love seafood.
