Day 2: Organizing challenge and Meal Plan Monday

As part of my New Year's goals,



Day two is organizing a desk top.  Now my husband works from home most of the time, and this is really his domain.  But it is our shared computer, and I use it too.  It really isn't as bad as it has been in the past.  But he never really cleans/dusts the thing, so I thought at least I could do that.

Before

After
Much better, but I didn't tackle the cord area or his files underneath.  I wouldn't want to get rid of something important!



OK, Now I will attempt to show my meal plan for the week, ala Meal Plan Monday on Organizing junkie.  A few posts ago, I stated that meal planning was one of my goals for the year.  I've seen some blogs that plan out the whole month, which is what I did.  It helps me to be less repetitive.  But I will just list my plan for the week:



Monday: Cheesy potato/ ham casserole (just using boxed cheesy potatoes and using up leftovers of the Honey Baked Ham we had for Christmas.)

Tuesday:  Turkey Sausage Jambalaya (I use Zatarans and add onions and bell pepper.)

Wednesday:  Daddy's choice.  I work that night.  Often times will will feed the kids mac n cheese, then grill something for when I get home.  We'll see.

Thursday:  Ham & Bean Soup- A beginning of the year tradition.  Will freeze leftovers for a future meal.

Friday: Leftovers or eat out.

  2. Everything looks delish! You make jambalaya the same way I do :)

    I've been really craving some bean and ham soup! I'll definitely be making it soon! Do you cook it on the stove or in the Crockpot?

  5. @ Sherry- I cook the soup in my LeCruset stock pot. I just use the recipe on the bean package : )

    @ EJ- I use the zatarans boxed jambayla mix. Last week I found versions that were brown rice and a mild version. With sausage, it's a bit spicy for kids. With chicken, it's not that spicy.
