    What a fantastic menu plan. How on earth do you cook/have 3 meals and dessert planned? I love the crocokpot mole and chicken curry ideas. Thanks for sharing with #SmallVictoriesSundaylinky and hope you link up again this weekend! Pinning.

      I plan ahead. I prep foods and plan my menu on Sunday, cook freezer meals in advance by a month, and roll meals into one another. It takes practice, but I’ve gotten it down to a science!

    You’re so organized with your menu planning. I’m so awful at it, but I’m trying to get better. Thanks for sharing your menu ideas on Merry Monday linky party.

      Thank you so much! I have so many things going on in my life, that if I was not organized it would literally not be finished! Thank you for commenting, and have a blessed week!

    Not gonna lie- what caught my eye first were the brownie flurries made with leftover brownies. What can I say, I’m a kid at heart! Clever idea.
    Excellent ideas that I can certainly learn from. Looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing.
