I bought Pierogies today! I “splurged” as I didn’t have a coupon, but I got the ones that were on sale and figured we’d try them Thanks for the idea!

I am still struggling with all this meal planning and figuring out what works for me. I work til 6:30 and don’t always want to cook when I get home. The other night I decided I would do chili in the crockpot the next day, which was yummy. I can’t do crockpot everyday as some of the wonderful recipes I find don’t crockpot. Any suggestions? I do have menus planned, most side dishes are veg and bread sometimes. Potatoes are hard to do after I get off work. Rice is ok for me to eat but would have make potatoes separate as my husband is diabetic. Rice sends his blood sugar level high for days. Not good!!!!

Justine, Pierogies are potatoes in a pasta-type shell. They can be found in the frozen foods section of the grocery (mine are by the fries) and they come in a few varieties. You can boil, deep fry or bake them (I prefer mine baked because I loved crunchy things). I also like to dip mine in ranch.

I agree with you on being accountable. My blog is pretty new, and since I have been writing and posting, we have eaten better and I have more of a variety now.
Thanks for hosting!

Can I ask what Pierogies are? I, too, am always looking for good, easy sides, but I don’t think I’ve heard of this one!

Gold fish crackers are a really fun way to add some variety to tuna casserole. They fit the fishy theme, and for those of you who like something crunchy and something cheesy, they fill the bill.

Okay. I think I’ve been doing better! Every so often I would make my list of 15+ meals, but then I wouldn’t necessarily plan 5 meals for the week.

Sunday I sat down and made a plan; ~2 minutes worth. This week has been pretty smooth because I actually can pull out the meat to defrost the night before. I hope I can keep it up.

Thanks for hosting this series.
