First Sign of Spring

Dwarf iris, reticulata

22 Days Until Spring Begins

Find some time to enjoy the songbirds by 

trying these helpful meal time tips.

1. Menu plan cook once eat twice. Plan your meals by circular specials. Pork Tenderloin on sale buy one get one free? Plan to make a roast one night and spice it up for pork sandwiches the next night.

2. Clean as you cook. Keeping up with the mess is half the battle to making a meal. As you are cooking put each item away. Wipe down your spills and wash the bowls and utensils. When you're done the only thing left should be the dinner dishes. {You can delegate those to the kids.}

3. Put left overs in single serve containers. Pyrex is my fav. Each serving can be reheated in place of a brown paper bag lunch. Saves on lunch money too.
