Every one of my kids likes it and I found it at a time when they were all getting a little tired of plain ol spaghetti. I use fat-free half and half because I always have it on hand, and it's really yummy, thanks! Hi,

I should have checked your menu before planning mine. I only have one Mexican meal planned, but I know it's a great one. Glad you have help, couldn't imagine being on bed rest!

Alfredo on here? I just wondered if you used a jar or made up your own. I have a mix but it could stand to be a bit creamier. Toni, is your recipe for Fett. Alfredo on here?

We are quite constricted by after school activities, so some days we have to have a meal that can be thrown in the microwave. I spend a couple of hours most Sundays preparing meals for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It shortens the weekends, but it means that the kids and husband can re-heat at any time. I never thought I'd thank God for the microwave, but here I am singing it's praises. It's really hard combining full time career with wanting to give the boys the best nutritionally. I also find it hard to be inspired and sometimes we get the same meals over and over. How do you get variety into your menu? When do you get your recipes from? Hope the bed rest has the desired affect. I shop bi-weekly and I often find that we have 2-3 meals left over, so we just carry them on to the next set.

I may have to try that in April. I used to do the whole month by the day, and it was too constricting, so this might just work. We'll see. Take care!
