It's a really time-efficient way to have dinner ready as soon as your home. Also, it looks like your children are old enough to take on dinner maybe once a week? Or at least help with cleaning/chopping/other prep work. Good practice for when they venture out into the world.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486127981293088285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763204835090618509.post-72028508171221609352010-09-26T16:06:40.558-07:002010-09-26T16:06:40.558-07:00Great menu!

You have probably thought of this already, but many of your items call for the same ingredients and could save you some time by preparing them one time and then freezing them for when you need it. Like cooking a massive amount of seasoned ground beef and putting them in ziplock bags, or chopping vegatables and freezing them for example. It makes making dinner at the end of a long workday so much simpler!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
