100th Post & Tasty Tuesday

Hi!

It's my 100th post today!  That's a milestone of some sort!

Yesterday I did not go for my walk or do too much besides regular housework (except I did dig some sods in the front...), but today I'm feeling like I've got more energy so I'm off to my walk.  The kids just left, but I'm still finishing my Green Smoothie, so I'm getting this typed out first.  My left hamstring usually feels tight when I walk. I've got a theory that it's because when I walk on the road that's slightly tilted, my left leg has to go down further than my right.  So, I'm gonna be a rebel and walk with the traffic so I even out! ;-)

This week's meal plan:

  • Mon- Frozen Lasagna, Arugula salad
  • Tues- Salmon Cakes
  • Wed- Slow Cooker Lentils (125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes, pg 114)
  • Thurs- Eggs with Black Bean Salsa CheeseBurgers
  • Fri- Mac & Cheese (my mother-in-laws recipe, as requested by DS) Leftovers
  • Sat- Roast Chicken, Potatoes Frozen Individual Pizzas for kids, leftovers for grownups
  • Sun- Cheese Burgers Chicken from Dillon's, Tabouli, salads (HH's Birthday!)
Last year's meals:
  • Mon- Pasta
  • Tues- Frittata
  • Wed- Salmon (HH mtg)
  • Thurs- Beans
  • Fri- Tortilla Pizza
  • Sat- Pizza (HH's Birthday)
  • Sun- Slow Cooker Beans

I noticed on last year's menu plan that we had started our new ticket chore system.  Where you can earn tickets for chores and then trade them in for $.50 each or a 30 min tv show or 30 min of computer.  I don't remember how long that lasted, but not too long.   Now the kids are doing no chores except loading their dinner plates in the washer and occasionally cleaning their rooms.  Although, DD has been keeping her room clean and DS's room is pretty clean now too.  I'm not sure what to do to get them to help out more... Something to think about!

Have a good one! :-)
