I usually plan my meals for the weekdays and then wing it a bit on the weekends, and use up any leftovers, veggies, etc. We are a family of five so that is typically who I am cooking for. My two older kids have just finished their first year at NSCC and are now on their summer schedules which involve jobs and working different shifts, so having a meal plan and knowing that I have the ingredients on hand to make sure there is something here for everyone to eat whenever they got home. Making a meal plan works for me. 🙂

So make plans to stop in into Fresh Cuts Market…I will be there on Friday afternoon from 2:00-4:00pm so stop by and say “hi!”… and check out their amazing Grand Opening specials and then settle into what is shaping up to be a glorious weekend. I for one…can not wait! 🙂 See you next week for Fresh Cuts Friday.
