Time for Another Trip to the Grocery Store

I've been looking at my recipe books when I can to see if I can come up with some additional recipes that I can make in big batches so that one cooking session will net a meal or two and some frozen dinners. For this round of grocery shopping, I plan to make:
  • Roast Chicken with Potatoes and Carrots (a recipe I found in one of my Weight Watchers cookbooks)
  • Mexican Chicken baked potato (also from WW, but I'll need to make it slightly different for my husband's share)
  • Turkey lasagna
  • Scrambled eggs and potatoes
  • Hamburger stew (same as I made last time)

Out of last time's batch, the only thing I turned into frozen dinner entrees was the stew and beans. We had the leftovers of the hamburger quiche for an at-home lunch, and due to an unusually hectic schedule, I never made the meatloaf, but I still have the stuff to make it.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
