Another meal, another day, another week -- that's about how I feel these days. I feel like I'm dragging my backside around just to get done what needs to be done. Many people have asked me how I can find the time to put together menus every week. All I can say is, if there were no menus, there would be no meals. I shop once a week and if it's not on the list, I didn't buy it, and thus we're not eating it. My menus save me every single day, and if you don't make menus, you are spending more time scrambling than you would making menus and shopping. I also plan my menus around meat that is on sale, or that I have already purchased on sale (like corned beef at St. Patrick's Day -- cheap, cheap), so I save a lot of money by planning ahead.Saturday

Dh said I have to eat Skyline chili in Cincinnati. Do I?
Well, if it were the only meal I were getting, I wouldn't. But you know what they say...when in Rome. It's the only food I can think of that is really Cincinnati. If you want to try it out before hand, I have a recipe on my blog. It's better at home, I think.
