How Did The Meal Plan Go: Day Two

Day 2::
Breakfast: I made pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes with the leftover pumpkin filling I had from the can. It was a 29-oz can so I still have more leftover! I think I might make some pumpkin muffins...
Lunch: My husband had leftovers consisting of a piece of chuck roast with au jus gravy. I put some french bread in there so he could dip that in it...yum! And for a nice little dessert I made Cranberry Apple Cobbler...he gobbled up the taste test last night...lol!
The kids had leftover pumpkin pancakes because I fell asleep with Miss Precious for a nap! I had been up since 5:45 so I needed it!
Dinner: Sunset Pumpkin Soup was a hit! I made garlic bread to go with it. What a great way to get some really good vegetable down the kiddos (and myself!) :)

As I have been following the meal plan, I find that I am a lot less stressed around dinner time. I just take a peek in the morning to see what we're having for the day and what I might need to prepare ahead of time for the next day. In fact, last night I made the Sunset Pumpkin Soup just because I felt like cooking! (I rarely feel like cooking for the pleasure of it...I usually do it because I don't want my family to starve...lol!) So, this meal planning might just turn me into Suzie Q Homemaker..or just regular Mrs Q Homemaker! :)
