Meal Planning Monday: 30.5.2011 - 05.06.2011 (Thanks Once a Month Mom!)

I have been dying to share some of the recipes from Once a Month Mom, so today is your lucky day!!  You absolutely must zip over there to see what's shakin' in their kitchen.  The whole premise of Once a Month Mom is to do most of your cooking in one day - for the ENTIRE month.  Now, I've tried a number of 'popular' cookbooks and have rarely found a recipe worthy of a second round of grocery money.  But no longer!  Here a are 6 recipes for you to dip your fingers into.  Have a go and let us know what you think!

This week I will not be baking, but I will be freezing!  Strawberry Banana Breakfast Popsicles are sure to make my kids' heads spin.  I am sure I'll get the "Who are you and what have you done with Mommy?!" schpiel...  But I'll take it with a smile on my face.  :D

So, what's your plan, Stan?
