Menu Plan Monday ~ Back at it again

Well, after a long summer break from menu planning (online at least), I debated as to whether I should even continue to do it. In the end I decided to just keep with it because I like the accountability that posting my menu plan to my blog gives me. I do my plan, then grocery shop and have everything I need for the week. I find I save a ton of money and I enjoy cooking more when I'm not stressed about what to make and whether I have all of the ingredients ;)  So here it goes!

Any readers have some healthy, low budget meals for me? I would love to hear them!

I decided to follow a little them for each night of the week right now to help streamline my budget and make planning a bit easer.




Monday (Breakfast) 
 Sausage and Egg Breakfast Burritos and fresh fruit

Tuesday (Soup)

Wednesday (Meatless)  

Thursday (Mexican) 
 Ground Beef Taco Salad

Friday (crockpot)

Letters from the Kingdom of Fife

                 Here is a little update on our summer and recent move to St. Andrews. 
                  You can access it here. 

From Aberdeen to St. Andrews!
We are blessed!
We moved last Friday morning and spent the weekend unpacking and getting settled. We were able to do a little exploring of the new area as well. Then on Wednesday, we got Maddy started in P1 (kind of like Kindergarten). She has met a new friend named Elspeth and has really enjoyed her time so far (what a relief!). She seems to really like her teacher too.  I can't believe she is growing up so fast! She and I were both feeling a mix of emotions - anxiety, pride, excitement etc - but all in all she is doing well and the Lord has cared for her (and me). I'm so thankful!
Isn't her little uniform adorable?
