Meal Plan for Two Weeks

I've been intending to be a bit more creative in the kitchen, and so I'm taking time over the next two weeks to try a few new things. I wish all my children would be here every night. The upside to a nest getting emptier is that the food budget is stretching farther. The downside? Too many to list, including that it was more exciting to feed six than three or four.

Anyway, I am attempting some recipes I found in Food Network magazine (Jan/Feb 2012), Cooking Light (March 2012), Facebook Friends, and adding some classic standby favorites of ours.

Monday -- Lowfat Veggie Quiche
Tuesday-- Spaghetti and Meatballs w/ Foccacia Bread
Wednesday-- Guy Fieri's Ginger-Carrot Soup, artichoke & pea salad, whole grain bread
Thursday--Chicken Marsala, flat spiral pasta, garlicky roasted green beans
Friday--leftovers
Saturday- Stuffed Peppers w/ Long Grain Rice
Sunday--Pisolo Rojo
Monday--Fish and Yukon Golds
Tuesday-- date night?? :)O
Weds--Ground Beef Curly Noodles (Beth, per Fb)
Thursday--Cranberry Pork Tenderloin in crock pot
Friday--BLTs
Saturday--leftovers
Sunday--out

French Door Fridge

When our fridge died a couple weeks ago, and my handy hubby couldn't fix it, we were left with two options: spend $500 to have it repaired, or buy a new one.

It was a no-brainer.

After a few hours of shopping, we concluded that this one at Sears on clearance for half price would be best for us. It's an LG French-Door Bottom-Freezer style. I love the way it opens so wide to make room for large trays or dishes after a party. Not that we've had time to throw a party this week. It gives easy access to our food without all the bending. Tall people around here especially love that.

It came with plastic protective coating that we later peeled off per the instructions. The only thing I don't like is how old everything around it looks now. It would be lovely if the new fridge came with
a new kitchen. You know the salesman could've thrown that in, couldn't he?

My first thought when I saw the fridge opened and brand spanking new and clean in my kitchen? Take a picture. It will never look this good again.


We haven't done a huge shopping yet (too much else going on) but I must say I really enjoyed (which is quite rare for me) going to the store to get some essentials. I also transferred a few items from our chest freezer for a photo op. It's all about the blog, right, friends? (Tell me you don't think in blog posts and I'll tell you I was Miss America.)






Our fridge is not just a fridge. It's also a nudist colony. Take a peek.


Not all of our groceries are voyeuristic. Some are discreet. Or perhaps they're downright frigid.

I put the veggies and small stuff in the shallow drawer, and the pizzas and meats in the
large bottom drawer.


I feel so organized. Bless my salted sweet butt.



































The kids want to host a Ravens play-off party tomorrow. Guess we can put our big ole--I mean big new--fridge to the party test. Go team!

Storing Tree Lights on Magazine "Roll"

Once in a while I "alight" on an idea that really works. I wanted a cheap, compact way of storing tree lights that made unrolling them the next year easy.

I had no empty paper towel rolls. Toilet paper rolls are too small and rather disgusting, if you ask me.

Wrapping lights onto cardboard squares cut from boxes had always ended in a tangled mess, so I definitely wanted the cylindrical shape.







You might say I had a "lightbulb" moment. Right in front of my eyes, in the midst of the huge undecorating of Christmas, I saw old magazines headed for the recycling. Rolled one up and hey-hey! A cylinder for my lights!










I made sure the plug would be easy to get to, so rolled accordingly,.



Cheap. Easy. Compact. Effective.
What more could you ask for?

Victual Rituals

Just got back from the grocery expedition, which in this house is sometimes a divide-and-conquer mission. I went to a food warehouse called Chesapeake Quality Traders for meats, bulk veggies, restaurant quality soups, bread, Naked smoothies ($1 apiece) and frozen pizzas. Meanwhile two other family members took their beloved father-daughter road trip to PA for drinks and breakfast items and glass-bottle milk in Amish country.

I ask you, is it not a ritual in feeding oneself and family that starts long before the fork is picked up? Indeed, I submit that it is. Plotting and planning, hunting and gathering, paying and grimacing, loading and unloading, organizing and storing, preparing and serving, setting up and cleaning up. No wonder that actually putting the food in one's mouth feels so rewarding.

Surely I can make a meal plan out of these victuals.

For 11/19 and following:

19 Saturday: Potato Cheese soup, oven rolls, pepperoni-veggie pizza
20 Sunday: Lunch: Chicken Broc in the Wok (recipe Paul and I made)
Dinner: Chicken Caribbean Salad

*Please keep my friend Michelle in your prayers. She is expecting her 11th child and
was recently hospitalized with compherlications. Doctors would like her to remain there until at least her 34th week when she can safely deliver. That means she'll be in the hospital all through the holidays. Our church family is providing meals five days a week for as long as it takes.

Her situation gives me fresh appreciation for being able to do for my family what I couldn't do for about six weeks postpartum in 2002. I feel grateful today for the strength and wherewithal to provide a service that seems often unappreciated...until it's divinely interrupted.

Here's to the rituals of victuals!

Good Life & More (Meal Plan)

I'm in the mood to try a few new recipes. Many of the following come from Pam Smith's The Good Life cookbook, which is one of my favorites. Fresh, wholesome ingredients for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and plenty of sauces and dressings from scratch which I love. (I don't like bottled ones as a general rule.) Full-color photos on every other page just make me drool. They also make me want to go buy an assortment of eye-popping plates, which one day I will. It'll be the great undoing of all my successful dish-purging episodes thus far. But I digress.




The meals I've chosen to make for the next couple of weeks begin tonight. I organized my pantry and took inventory of my freezer, made a list, and sent my daughter and hubby off (actually they volunteered) to go grocery shopping.

12- Day Meal Plan

If you're looking for my Hodgepodge answers, scroll down. Today is a two-post day!

-------------

This meal-plan post is a frame of reference for me and I thought others might like to glean
ideas from it if you're stuck in a culinary rut like I was until today.

We are now well stocked with a variety of foods, thanks to some great specials I found and my daughter who did a bang-up job organizing and inventorying the stuff we already had
on hand and the things we shopped for together. She's a gem. My diamond girl--really,
her April birthstone is diamond. If that's not precious, I don't know what it is.

Anyway, back to the meal plan:

Weds: chicken fajitas & fresh fruit salad
Thursday: Combat Training Wraps *
Friday: Spaghetti w/ meat sauce, garlic bread, green beans
Saturday: California Pizza
Sunday: Burgers on the grill - refill propane tank
Monday: crab cakes, baked potatoes, broc/cauli medley
Tuesday: Don't Invite the Rabbi, Just the Pasta*
Weds: venison chili & cheese wraps
Thurs: Scavenger Special (leftovers)
Friday: Brazilian steak salad (need fresh asparagus, baby greens), mashed potatoes
Saturday: shrimp linguine, roasted brussels sprouts, bread
Sunday: Chinese out

*Recipe here in one of my old blog posts.

While I have your attention, I am seeking recipes that are family hits with you. We are trying to slim down and prefer fresh meats and produce or frozen veggies (not canned). Got suggestions? My family members (5 adults and a kid whose favorite food is sushi) will eat (or try) almost anything. I am especially keen on trying veggies fixed as yummy side dishes. I tend to get stuck with the same old, same old, veg-wise. Again, looking for recipes you've made, not links to things that look good but haven't passed your own taste test! Thank you in advance.

I've Lost that Scrubbin' Feeling

Normally on Fridays I'm Hoppin' Around with a cleaning rag, some Pledge, Windex, and Pine Sol.

But not today. I woke up thinking about cleaning my house, when suddenly an old Beatles' tune phrase popped into my head: "Let it be, oh, let it be." So I'm just gonna let it be.

Okay, maybe I'll mop the floor because there's some sticky orange juice in front of the fridge. (It's causing a lot of pulp friction.) I keep hearing strains of "Stuck on You." But nah, I won't mop. Every time I do, it ends up killing my back. I Twist and Shout, "Doctor, Doctor!"

I was thinking about going for a walk, but was arrested by a tune: Stop in the Name of Love.

When I look in the mirror, I Can't Get No Satisfaction. Is it worth getting All Shook Up?

My golden retriever pup really gives me those Sad Eyes if I don't take time out to play with him. Why do I fall for his manipulation? He Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog.

Why is it so hard to get my caboose to do the Locomotion? I Keep Dreaming that One Fine Day all my laundry will be washed, dried, folded, hung up, pressed, and put away all by itself. That'll Be the Day.

Clutter Rehab

This is not a book review. It's a book preview and I will tell you straight up that it looks like my kind of book. This is also my attempt to win the book for just hyping it. So, I look forward to winning it from Rachel Anne over at Home Sanctuary; she is kindly promoting it for author Laura Wittman.

Hmm. Do you think that if I write a book someday someone will promote it? I think it might be called something like Housekeeping Tips from the Grave of a So-So Housekeeper: Confessions of a Woman Who Said She'd Get Her Home in Order if It Was the Last Thing She Did. Of course most publishers don't like to sign posthumous contracts with an author who is still alive.

But I digress, because my thoughts are so organized...

I like the books that don't make you feel like a loser just because you're not anal about organization. I mean, I can get a system going and that's fun to me, but keeping it going? That's a whole different monster.

So here's hoping the book Clutter Rehab is a big success, and that I get my hands on a copy, courtesy of my chum Rachel.

Need Supernatural Power to Overcome Natural Procrastination

Okay, so once again I've gotten my bowels in a bind from procrastinating. (I've actually been working on my resume' and cover letter which took a lot longer than I anticipated, but it's finished and submitted!)

Did I mention we're having a little ole' family reunion right here at our place next Saturday? Well, that sounds like I have time to get things in order, but our house guests (relatives from Ohio) are landing here I think on Wednesday.

I don't know about you, but I tend to think I have WAY more time than I actually do. In addition to the things that never quit--laundry, dishes, and meal-making, I also have a nifty little list of Things to Do in 4 Days:

Repaint son's room
Finish painting lamps
Clean house top to bottom
Clear junky stuff off patio and deck
Paint porch
Weed gardens
Plant more colorful flowers on deck (I'm thinking photo ops)
Bathe the dog
Lose 82 pounds
Get a haircut
Get a mani/pedi
Make curtains for family room
Make pillows for sofa
Grocery shop

Think it's doable? Me neither. I think my priorities are food, hair, hands, and feet. My gnomes can handle the rest, right? Oh, wait. They said the 4th of July starts today and they've got plans to take off. And none of them goes by the name Jillian Michaels.

God, give me the grace to do what I should've started 3 weeks ago.

The D&O Railroad Project

Announcing the
D&O Railroad Project.

As I promised Kelly in my previous post, I will join her in continuing to simplify the home through decluttering and organizing. I've wasted time trying to come up with a catchy little name for this endeavor, to no avail. The names I thought of, which I googled for originality, had already been taken. One of them even had something to do with smoking marijuana--clearly not the kind of buzz I wanted to participate in, let alone promote.

"Decluttering and organizing" is too long to write out, but that is what we're attempting here. So I've shortened it to D&O, which reminded me of the B&O (Baltimore & Ohio) Railroad. Staying on track, having a beginning and an end, and sharing the ride is the plan. Want to board with us?

I said it would be as easy as A,B,C. The way it works is to choose as few or as many areas to declutter as fits your energy, schedule, and priorities for the week. I will suggest things, but feel free to come up with your own. I've backed this challenge down to 4 weeks, not six,
since I know my personality and what is coming is May. I'm better with short-term goals.

April 18 - May 13

For this first week, choose one or more areas that start with any of the following letters:
A,B,C,D, E, or F.

For example:
A-archives, alcove, attic
B--bookshelves, basement, bedroom
C- corner, closet, cosmetics
D- dresser, dishes, drawer, desk
E- edibles
F- fun room, Fido's stuff, footwear

Start with something that's getting on your last nerve. For me, it's corners. I'm going to start with the corner in my bedroom that is supposed to house only my photo boxes and photo albums, but has become an impound lot for miscellany. (I have other corners that fit that description, but I'm starting with that one so I can sleep better.)

Be sure to take your "before" shot right away as you board the D&O train. We all like to know that we're not alone in our "stacks o' clutter." Then arm yourself with a trash bag, a Giveaway box, a Keep/Take Action box, and pen and paper. You will think of things you need to do or buy as you go along. Don't get sidetracked by leaving the area to jot down those things.

Ready? Leave a comment after picking your first stop on the D&O Railroad. Finish by Friday and post by Sunday.

Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga...

Continuing Where Project Simplify Left Off: You In?

Kelly at Through the Water noted that for every project like the ones we did for Project Simplify, there are at least five more we could do. Amen to that, sister! She asked me if I'd like to keep going, sort of buddy-up for more adventures in organization. Having a partner is always more fun and motivating for me than going alone, even if it's a virtual buddy. Sort of like Company Girls! Naturally I said "sure!'

My approach is going to include a bit of flexibility and creativity because our homes don't all have the exact same trouble areas. Stay tuned. I can tell you that choosing a "hot spot" (Tsh's term)
will be as easy as ABC.

Since I have clutter aplenty to mortify (not manage), I will pick areas pertinent to my place and let you pick according to yours, but roughly all doing the same thing: improving our homes by decluttering.


I'll pick areas for the next two weeks in April and then I will ask Kelly to pick two for May. A ping-pong thing. We will conclude by Memorial Day and reward ourselves with something. I don't know what, but something! Does this sound like something you need or want to do? Whether you want to devote one hour or five days, it will be an accomplishment, right ?

I will also try to borrow Kelly's wise habit of including a Bible verse that helps her focus on what is more important than the physical labor of housekeeping.

Simple rules if you want to play:

1. You must post at least one "before" shot and one "after" shot to link up. Post on your blog.
2. You must finish by Friday.
3. Post by Sunday , 9 PM EST and leave a comment here so we can find you and your progress!

I'll announce Monday morning where we're starting. Meanwhile, make sure you have a trash bag, a give-away bag, an Elsewhere box, and a Keep box, along with pen and paper.

If you want to join, give a holler in the comment box. Love to have you along for the organizational ride.

Project Simplify: Fridge and Pantry Were "Two" Much

Is there anything good to eat in here?

Or here?

Well, I can't link up this week at Project Simplify because I simply didn't get a "before" shot of either my fridge or my pantry. Lame excuses, but the motivation to get started--and finished--trumped my desire to snap a shot of pantry pandemonium. So no chance at the prizes for me.

Besides, I have two freezers and two pantries, and the second pair didn't get any attention. (Most things in the garage don't.)

However, the prize I really wanted was the orderliness itself. To make a harmonious hang-out for all the breakfast foods, and stop trying to force them to fit in with pasta which is just not their type. To throw out microscopic peanut shards from the \Carter administration. And to see exactly how many things I could whomp up and call a meal without actually grocery shopping.

After two hours and forty-five minutes of brutal sorting, ruthless tossing, maniacal labeling, and doing all the things that make me feel simultaneously antsy and accomplished, I went grocery shopping to two different stores, came home and unloaded both perishables and non-imperishables, made two spinach/bacon/egg salads that were going to different destinations, changed into the second of two outfits of the day, and attended two more events before the end of the night. Oh, and then I came home and double-checked my art lessons and supplies for the two classes I teach on Thursdays.

I am not just a cook. I'm a kook!

A happy kook with an organized pantry that beckons me to open its bi-fold door and behold something that....BETTER NOT GET MESSED UP ANY TIME SOON!!!!

Project Simplify, Week 3 Report

The first 6 pictures are "before." I set out a Keep Box, a trash bag, and a Sell box.








Let's just say I didn't play by all the rules, but I did what my priorities dictated. The Project Simplify "hot spot" for week 3 was toys and kids' clothes. My youngest (the only "kid-kid") simply doesn't have many clothes to deal with. Easy. He's good at folding clothes, and he likes to organize, so getting his dresser in order was a cinch. Didn't take pictures of it.

The toys needed the concentrated effort, though. Joel doesn't have a lot of different toys (on purpose) but what he has sure did need " a going through." There was no good reason to keep toys in plain view when we have plenty of behind-door storage in our family room's entertainment unit.

I was pleased with the progress and the results. I was probably more pleased with the process, honestly. As a mom, what I noticed was growth in my youngest son's ability to part with things. He's a 9-year-old "saver". He's the kid who has begged me to save bottle caps, soda can tops, gum wrappers, cereal boxes, inch-long pencils, you name it, because "I can make something with it, Mom!" Well, I applaud the creative intentions, but the reality is, his junk sits there in a drawer looking like bottle caps, gum wrappers, and useless pencils, not something that the Smithsonian is gonna pay us for. So I generally put an immediate halt to his "collections." He is allowed to collect coins with his Dad, and I don't throw out Legos (except...shh..a few now and then). If he were a poor child, I probably would let him save that crap, but if he doesn't have an immediate plan for something, out it goes. I make him sit and do the art creation or throw out the "goods"! I don't want him to have to break a hoarding habit when he's an adult, no matter how well he could justify it in the name of creativity. The truth is, creative juices flow better in clear, orderly space. If I can spare him half the misery I've endured by "collecting" stuff, I will. I have been handicapped in this area my whole life, and only in the past couple years have I started finding freedom in really letting go.



Anyway, on Monday, I said, "We'll work for 30 minutes, starting with the stuff behind this door, then work to the right. Throw away obvious trash, anything missing parts or pieces or can't be sold. The first section will be for your finished Lego creations." He sorted through Legos by color and used his Lego storage tower to organize pieces. I kept my promise by letting him quit after 30 minutes, and he declared, "That was easier than I thought, Mom!" --smile---

I dusted, made labels, and rearranged stuff. My plan was to put within easier reach the toys and art supplies that younger kids use when they visit. *Art supplies that won't ruin anything, mind you, if accidentally "discovered.")


The only cats we'll ever own are in this drawer.


















I like his creative "Guns" label.

















Plenty of space, yes ?






We worked 3 hours together in sum last week, and ended up with clean, organized, decluttered spaces. The toys can breathe again.


Aah.

Paper Decluttering Week: Before & After

Project Simplify's challenge this week: deal with the paper clutter in your desk/home office area, or really the area(s) where paper/office junk drives you the bonkiest. For me, it happens at the corner of Foyer and Kitchen.

"Twas not perfect but a successful week dealing with paper clutter. It's nevcr eliminated, just greatly reduced when I put my mind to it.

This was the area that I concentrated on and dealt with the 80% that I could. The other 20% (mail, school work, phone chargers) I need the other family members to deal with since it's theirs.

BEFORE pictures:



















Junk drawer. Couldn't help but notice
we have copious amounts of Krazy Glue.
The stuff that holds our family together?



















The innerds of "the office."













Is there a better place for the toaster oven so
our bills don't "accidentally" catch on fire?













Some things have got to go.


















Per Tsh's helpful advice, I surrounded myself with trash can, recycling bin, "to be shredded" box (since we don't have a shredder right now), a "take action" box

and this one:

































My cardboard categories helped immensely:













Aah. Move-in condition. Love it.













My cheerleader in the process, our 13-month old
puppy. Doesn't judge, but easily distracts me! How
could you not want to stop and play with this
cute, happy fella?













AFTER:
Worthy tenants can breathe now that the squatters
are gone.














The junk drawer now with stacked organizers.
I do have a penchant for pens, but the non-working
ones were evicted.













The other drawer, outfitted with coffee & filters.













VOILA! The finished project. Coffeepot has switched
places with toaster oven. There was less bumping into
the other "rush hour" folks this morning as a result.

And now I can see those four beautiful babies pictured here.
The oldest of the babies is 6'7" and turns 23 in a few days. His birth
initiated me into the Morning Coffee Club, among many
other things as a mother.

Perhaps that's what I loved best about this project.
Realizing that when the stuff is gone, or at least properly placed, it's a whole
lot easier to focus on the people you love.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Start Your Engines (of Judgment)

"A promise made is a debt unpaid."

This post gets me out of debt, I think.

I promised I would show it like it is--my home's clutter.

Then I gulped. Quivered. Thought I felt hives jumping out all over my skin. Am I nuts?

I've gone back and forth, back and forth, daring one minute to expose the embarrassing things I could just as well hide, posting only on days I had just tidied up, or posting just the pictures around the home after I'd cropped, edited, or staged to portray my best Martha Stewart to blogland. The other choice: put it out there on a day I've done "diddly squat" about it and see if maybe the "real deal" puts other "real people" at ease.

Shall we start the tour? This is just Level One of my home. The other Levels will just have to keep for another day. Pass the Benadryl.

It does not always look like this. (Sometimes it looks worse.) Usually it looks better, but today I'm going for the intense gasp. It will be a gasp to rival the "shot heard round the world."


Got your seatbelt buckled? Gas mask on? Hair net in place? Okay, then, here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll turn your attention to the first photo. This is Grand Central. The motherlode of landings for mail, receipts, coins, jewelry, notices, coupons, pens, etc. A whole lot of "etc." It's the area I'm conquering this week, thanks to the impetus of Project Simplify.

By the way, that's not liquor on the fridge. It's iced-tea syrup. (I keep the liquor in my purse.)

We keep the doors closed for a reason.


















reason being... Our miscellany cabinet would flaunt its abundance. Of phone chargers. Seriously, we have more cords than Octomom's uterus. This cabinet is a microcosm of Wal-mart, what with its lightbulbs so handily close to the pet meds, and the Chick Fil-A sauces within walking distance of the bill from my urogynecologist (otherwise known as a Zo-ologist).















We have a square foot of fridge-front property
for sale. Perked and everything.


















The dining room server, a.k.a. the Lego
Aircraft Carrier Landing. Notice also the
liquor there. (Time to buy a bigger purse.)
A vase, a serving tray, an octagonal bowl (what do
I have with Octogons today?) and a coin collection.
Nice tablescape, don'tcha think? The eclectic look,
some call it.















The posture of these books really mirrors the way I feel
most days.



















Where does your eye go first? To the Renoir
on the wall? Thought so. Even the lady in the
painting is trying not to look at the mess.


















Peek-a-blue.













I see you! Great hiding place, ya'll! The go-to
place for broken lamps and other sundries.














An aerial view of the top drawer of my desk.


















An overexposed image of an underexposed drawer.
The only impressive thing about it is Joel's drawing of a "Sattle Horse." :)














I bought this organ at an auction (around 1993)
to display vintage photos...and postage stamps ?
It has remarkable expansion capability...


















as well it should--to file Blooming Florals and Dr. Seuss drawings.
Isn't that what every good Victorian lady used her
organ for? My hubby says it's time for an organ donation.













And it's time I get off the computer and do more
about this magnificent montage of miscellany.

Tune in tomorrow when the Et Cetera counter and
the cabinet of a messy mini-mart have been transformed
seemingly by magic.

You may now remove your mask and enjoy the effects of that
Benadryl capsule.
