I took a bit of a bloggy break over the last couple weeks. But I am back and doing my menu planning with I'm an Organizing Junkie. So, here is my menu this week:
Also, $5 Dinners inspires us all to make low cost dinners. In that spirit, I am taking what Pick N Save has on sale, pairing it with coupons and coming up with the tastiest money saving around! Black beans were on sale for $1.00 (normally $1.29.) at Pick N Save. I grabbed a bunch to make my featured recipe today:
