Finally…I’m finished work at my seasonal job for the Winter! Now’s the time I get everything done that I can’t do in the summer! I would like to paint and give a simple update to our bedroom, finish some sewing projects, tidy up the house really well and do a bit of travelling! I can’t wait! Already I’m having a hard time adjusting. I kept thinking all weekend that I should get all the house cleaning done right away, but I have all week to do it now!
The best part is that I get to spend a bit more time on meal preparation and baking! I can also make use of my slowcooker more often since I’ll be home to watch it. (It cooks hot!) Speaking of meals, what are your favourite cold weather recipes? I’ve got a few favourites on our menu this week.
Wednesday: Sloppy Joe Calzones (good thing it’s in the freezer!)
The chicken pot pie and the meatballs are favourites of ours! What’s cooking at your house this week? If you’d like to see many more menus, visit

I’ve got a couple of new recipes on the menu this week. I think we’ll like them! The Tex Mex Chicken Skillet and the Parmesan Chicken & Broccoli Pasta are the new ones. Does anyone else like to incorporate a new recipe or two each week, or am I the only one that gets bored easily?
Take a look at our menu:
Monday: Tex Mex Chicken Skillet
Tuesday: Leftover Winter Vegetable Crumble (was made on Sunday)
Wednesday: BBQ Beef, rice, veggies
Thursday: Parmesan Chicken & Broccoli Pasta
Friday: Sloppy Joe Calzones (I still haven’t made these!)
So, what do you have planned for the week? Again, if you would like to see many more menus visit I’m an Organizing Junkie!

Holy moly, it’s November already! How can that possibly be? The good thing though, is that I’ll be finished my seasonal job in a few weeks! Time to get stuff done around the house!
So how did all your menus work out last week? I must admit that there were a couple of meals that I didn’t make. I either made something else or we ate leftovers or we went out for something! Is it bad that I can’t remember?
Here’s this week’s menu attempt:
Monday: Hashay (a beef dish served over mashed potatoes and carrots, a childhood fave!)
Wednesday: Pesto Pasta
Friday: Sloppy Joe Calzones
A couple of new recipes this week! I hope I won’t throw hubby off to much! I like a bit of variety and I enjoy finding new favourites. If you would like some new recipes visit

Well hello again! We’ve been having some major rainy weather these days so I’m looking forward to staying in and getting some things done around the house! You know, the exciting stuff like laundry and vacuuming… alright, I’m probably the only one that would get excited about stuff like that. What can I say? I love a clean house!
I did okay with sticking to my menu plan last week. I didn’t make a couple of meals because I managed to make plenty of leftovers for me to be able to enjoy a couple of nights off!
Now, I guess I should show you all what I have planned for the week! Here ya go!
And that there is what’s for dinner at the Simply Frugal household this week! What have you got planned? Need some inspiration? Visit I’m an Organizing Junkie!

Hi everyone! I missed you last week as we were being snowed on in Calgary! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with my in laws none the less! We’ve had some very rainy weather in our neck of the woods this past week so it’s put me in the mood for comforting Fall food.
Here’s the plan for the week:
Monday:
BBQ pork chops in the slow cooker, carrots, broccoli, mashed potatoes
Tuesday: Perogies and sausage, veggies
Wednesday: Broccoli and chicken pie
Friday: Sloppy Joe Calzones
I’ve been having trouble sticking to our menu lately (laziness?) so I’m going to try my best to make everything listed!

Hi there! How are you all doing today? We had an absolutely beautiful Fall day today. My Dad and I decided we’d head out on a bit of a drive to take pictures of the beautiful colours out there. So much fun!
I’ve had other things on my mind today so I almost forgot to do up our menu! But I think I’ve finally come up with something decent.
Monday: Soup of some kind with Yorkshire puddings (Hubby is demanding them!)
Thursday: Perogies & Sausage
Friday: Chicken Caesar Wraps
Whew. Another week planned. Now I only have to grab the groceries. As usual, if you would love to see more menus, visit
