Last week went off without a hitch. All the dinners menus went on just as planned. The only area in which I had a problem was breakfast...again! :) I don't know if it is the cooler weather or what...but I've not wanted to get out of bed. Amazingly enough, I've been sleeping through my alarm clock, and waking up on my own at the "regular time", which does not allow me enough time to cook a breakfast in the morning. Nicholas, who loves these breakfasts, is really missing it....which has kinda put him in a funk. Thankfully though, his behavior at school has remained awesome! So, if anyone has any tricks as to how I can not sleep through my alarm...let me know! :)
Breakfast
- Bacon/Eggs/WW Biscuits
- French Toast
- Baked Oatmeal
- Bagels
- Cereal
Dinner
- Barley Chicken Chilli (8 servings @ .34 =$2.75)
- Shepard's Pie. WW Biscuits.(10 servings @ .35 = $3.50)
- Baked Potato Soup w/bacon. HM Bread. (8 servings @ .31= $2.50)
- Dinner at Church Wednesday Night.
- Sweet and Sour Chicken. Fried Rice. Egg Rolls (homemade from the freezer). (8 servings @ .59=$4.75)
- Ribs. Baked Beans. Corn on the Cob. (8 servings @ $.98=$7.86)
- Leftovers
I've included a rough estimate of what my meals cost per serving. I've done this alot in my own head for about the past year or so..but I've never actually tracked it. I'm hoping that with this I can gauge my average price per serving, and this in turn will help me plan my menus by budget friendliness, and maybe I can lower my budget..again. :) I've went from memory on how many servings we've had in the past, so I'll let you know how well I did in gauging that.

You could always make breakfast stuff in advance -- like pancakes and waffles -- and freeze them. Also, you can do warm cereal in the crockpot overnight. Buys you a little more sleeping in time...
I used to have problems with alarm clocks too. Now I use the alarm on my phone, pick a really annoying song from the options available through ring-tones on my phone, and set the volume to high. This always startles me out of sleep on mornings I have to get up really early.
