Well, for the most part we stuck to our plan last week. I'm surprised to be honest! Willie was gone a few nights last week, but I still managed to cook our planned meal. This week we really don't have a whole lot going on, so hopefully we will be able to stick to it again.

Breakfast

• Whole Wheat Biscuits and Gravy
• Waffles
• Scrambled Eggs Sausage
• Baked Oatmeal

Dinners

• Lentil Brown Rice Casserole
• Jambalya
• Lasagna. Green Beans. Homemeade French Bread.
• Frito Pie. Fresh Fruit.
• Fish on the River!
• Leftovers. (Actually hoping to have extra chilli for a baked potato bar type thing! Thanks Hayley! )
• Homemade Pizza.

Our plans are still somewhat up in the air for the weekend, which is one reason I have leftovers on the menu for this week (these meals really don't make a whole lot of leftovers..basically enough for DH to take for lunch). We actually may be gone and I didn't want to plan/buy for another meal since I was already tight on the budget last week. So, we will make do. I'm sure we won't starve! :)

It is gigging season around these parts, hence the fresh fish on the river! Let me tell ya, I never ever ever liked fish until my husband forced me to eat it. Haha. Literally our first date (which was a blind date) was gigging..my first trip, ever. Now, I LOVE it!!!! There is nothing like it. And, nothing beats frying up your catch, amongst fried potatoes, and whop biscuits (yeah, didn't know what that was either...basically, a donut) right there on the river, next to a bonfire because it gets cold. The best time to go is in the dead of winter because the fish are so cold that they don't move very fast. I can't get the fast ones. My husband, and I, along with Nicholas got to go giggin' last night. Proud to say that I got about 10 suckers. Literally, they are suckers (fish that is!). It was so nice and peaceful. Loved it.

If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would doing what I am doing today, I would have laughed in your face. I never would've imagined myself being so "countrified" but I wouldn't have any other way. Guess you could call me a Domesticated Countrified Diva....and lovin' it! :)
