the best nesst

I have thoroughly enjoyed meal planning lately and it has made my life so much easier and the four o' clock hour less dreaded! Not only has it made life easier but it has made my trips to the grocery store more efficient and my shopping list more organized. I go to the store once a week, usually on Saturdays so I can go by myself:)

I was motivated to give meal planning another try (after previous failed attempts) from MacKenzie who blogs at Bold Turquoise.

I've also been scouring library books for new recipes to try. My favorite books have been Cooking Light and Americas Test Kitchen. (Both are available in magazine and book format)

As it always seems to be when trying new recipes there are hits and misses. I thought I would share our families favorites.

I've added a recipe tab to my header so you can try them too!
