Menu Plan Monday ~ June 30

Today is another Menu Plan Monday, which is being hosted by Heavenly Homemakers this week. If you want to see others' menus for this week or post your own, head on over to HeavenlyHomemakers.com.

Money is tight right now, so I'll be using a lot of dried beans and grains for a while. These dinners are pretty frugal and healthful. I have a few favorite sites for really inexpensive recipes: Lentils
and Rice (a new fav), The Family Homestead and Hillbilly Housewife.

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Baked Beans over whole wheat toast (meal #2 here), Green Beans

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Lentil Burgers (made from frozen cooked lentils & rice), Carrots

Sunday

Red and Yellow Chowder, Salad

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth!

I feel that an explanation is due for my absence on this blog lately, so here I am to give it!

This is our family's busiest time of the year, so my blogging will be sporadic at best until August. Rob and I coordinate our church's annual vacation Bible school, which begins next Monday. We are also part of a team that plans a large community outreach that takes place at the end of our VBS week. To top it off, we are training and taking a team of youth to Mexico for a short-term missions trip in July.

I thought that I would at least be able to keep up with the MPM and HOTM memes during this busy time, but I really have not had a chance to blog at all. Although I have really been enjoying it, I have to be careful of priorities at this busy time of year, and blogging has to be low on the list.

If I have a little time here or there, then you will see a post, but there will be nothing regular until August.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and have a wonderful summer!
