Every year, my brother hosts a football party for “The Big Game”. To make the party more interesting, he likes to hold competitions. Every guest is encouraged to bring an entry and try to win. It’s a lot of fun… not only to find a great recipe to show off, but also to get to eat a variety of other “best recipes”.
If you are looking for a complete 2 week meal plan that is frugal and includes recipes and suggestions for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks…then you’ve come to the right place!
I took time off of menu planning in December. The month was so busy that I had trouble getting to it! But life is much easier with a plan so I don’t wind up doing the 5:00 scramble that so often ends in ordering pizza. So I’m definitely ready to get back to it.
It’s 5:00 and, once again, you wish dinner would magically appear.
It’s been a long day, and you don’t feel like making a decision about what to eat (again), let alone standing over a stove for 30 minutes.
Some frozen chicken nuggets would be great. But you feel guilty about serving junk food to the family all the time.
What you really need is a healthy alternative.
What if you had some healthy homemade chicken nuggets at the ready?
Let’s say you spent some time over a more relaxing weekend putting together some frozen chicken nuggets. That way, you have food at the ready.
And you know what’s in it.
This recipe for Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets is so yummy and filling. It’s got simple ingredients, and isn’t complicated to make.
I even put some of them in sandwich bags so the kids can thaw them in the freezer and pack them in a lunch. Yum!
Happy Thanksgiving Week, everyone! Hope you have a blessed time spent with family and friends.

Not long after getting married, my Hubby and I started celebrating Practice Thanksgiving.
What’s Practice Thanksgiving?
It’s a family tradition that we made up.
But there were good reasons for us to celebrate this tradition. And I think you might want to adopt a Practice Thanksgiving for your family, too.
Here’s why.
