The end of the school year has arrived! We are in the final week, and it is looking to be a quiet one. Last week I had big plans only to remember that it was a week filled of field trips, which meant that there was no time for any of my homemade goodies that I had planned. Not only that, but by the time I came home and tried to get something accomplished before the day was over--I had no desire to cook much of a dinner. No big deal--makes my plan a lot easier for this week! :) So this week there are lots of repeats.

HI, can you post some of the simply receipes that you use?
Thanks
awesome, especially that lemon curd!! have a great week.
Buffalo chicken pizza...wow!
:)
Your meals look great! Especially the sesame chicken and the different homemade pizzas... I'm impressed with how much money you save on food, I just moved into my apartment (with my own kitchen!) and definitely need to work on eating for less money. You should check out springpad's weekly meal planner - it's a great way to organize all of your menus and recipes, I think you'll really like it!
Ooooo, I love the crepes and banana idea! I'm a little intimidated by crepes. Good luck with your busy week.
just saw a great recipe for lemon-raspberry cake (made with lemon curd)! you can find that recipe at http://stopnsmellthechocolates.blogspot.com/2009/05/cake-week-day-2-tea-for-two-sday.html
Also, I've left a bloggy award for you... stop by my cooking blog :)
We love steel cut oats. I eat them uncooked though. I soak them overnight in water, drain in the am, and run it through my food processor with some blueberries and coconut oil. Yum! I will have to try the crockpot method too. It looks delicious!
I wish I was that organized. I still don't know what I am making for dinner tonight. My family loves Steel Cut Oats too. We top it with yogurt, fresh fruit and flax seed meal.
