Happy Meal Planning Monday! I totally fell off of the meal planning wagon for a month or so. It happens every so often. But it never takes very long before I miss my menu plan and get back to making one.
Not because I love planning. (I don’t!) But because I hate choosing what meal I’m going to throw together every single day.
Learning how to freeze sweet corn is simple when you use this method! Forget about boiling water and peeling tons of silks. This year, take the easy way.
There are lots of reasons to learn how to freeze corn.
Maybe you were blessed with a windfall like us. Or you grew your own great crop. Or maybe you even happened upon an amazing deal at a farm stand or supermarket.
Don’t let it go to waste!
Freezing corn is simple and requires little equipment. Today I’m going to teach you my little “cheater” tricks to freezing corn the easy way.
Late July in our house means it’s time to get ready for our county fair. It’s a busy time, and that requires simple meals.
During the fair, we will end up eating out of the back of our van quite a bit. We do a lot of PB&J sandwiches.
We will also likely eat at the fair at least one meal. (My kids show animals all day long on Monday!)

Welcome to meal planning Monday! If you’re one of the happy few people who enjoy meal planning, that’s excellent.
Hopefully my ideas will spark some new ideas for you.
If you don’t enjoy meal planning (put me in this category), try to do it anyway.
Future you will thank present you for putting in the work now rather than making all of those decisions day in and day out.
Welcome to meal planning Monday! The best part about doing meal plans on a 2 week basis is that I only have to fuss with this job twice a month or so. In the past I have even done my meal planning and shopping on a monthly basis, but it just isn’t practical in this season of life. So every 2 weeks it is!
I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family. Learn more.
