The Easy Dinner Recipes Meal Plan – Week 1

July 11, 2015 By Allyson Zea 5 Comments

So, it is no secret our life it pretty hectic. We both work full time and have two busy kids. While we may be busy, I totally get that we are not the busiest by far and that so many families are just as busy if not more so. I was talking with a friend recently about how I “do it all” {Confession: I definitely don’t} and one of the most important things in our weekly activities is meal planning. Creating a meal plan helps me in so many ways:
– I spend less time at the store because I have a specific list versus wondering aimlessly
– I spend less time making dinner because I don’t have to do the “what’s for dinner” thing each night
– I spend less money because, again, I have a list and stick to it. No more buying lettuce that never gets used because we might want to make salads one night.

I was talking to some of my other blogger friends and we were all discussing exactly how awesome having a meal plan is each week. So, I teamed up with SIX other bloggers to bring y’all a weekly meal plan that you can gather delicious recipes and major inspiration from. I know when you are busy, sometimes it seems like planning your upcoming meal seems like the last thing you want to do. But, trust me, it is so important!

May 11, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

This post was brought to you by Ferrero U.S.A, Inc., the makers of Nutella® hazelnut spread. I received promotional consideration to write this post to support the Nutella 50th Anniversary … all opinions expressed are my own.

I am a huge Nutella® fan! Long before I was putting Nutella® and peanut butter on pizzas, I was have simple snacks of Nutella® and peanut butter on English muffins or just spooning it right out of the jar with a spoon. In our house, we eat so much of at that we buy the two jar pack from Costco on a regular basis!

This month, Nutella® turns 50 and they are asking all Nutella® fans to “Share Your Nutella® Story” with them to help celebrate {perk: a coupon is involved if you share your story on their website and include the #NutellaStoriesCoupon when you post!}.
