Menu Planning Monday

I am really excited about this weeks meals. I am only spending $25, yep that is right, and that $25 includes paper towels, and fun itmes too! So I am excited! I have mentioned that I need to re-organize my pantry, which I have not had the time to do (or made the time), but I have scheduled a block of time to do it tomorrow! So next weeks meals will be focused around the pantry! It is amazing, I will post pictures of the pantry before and after. I have a lot of room in there and I think I am addicted to buying pasta when it is on sale and I have coupons! Oh well, I will have a better functioning pantry when it is all said and done!
