The Week with no Grocery Shopping

This week I've decided to try to meal plan with out having to go to the grocery store.  Let's see if I can do this! :)
*I eat lunch at work and Jon eats leftovers at home.




Monday:
Parmesan-Dijon Chicken
Peas & Corn
Strawberries & Cantaloupe

Chicken recipe:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Heat oven to 375. 
Melt butter, then stir in mustard.
In a small bowl mix together the crumbs & cheese
Dump the chicken in the melted butter/mustard and turn chicken around to coat.  Place in 9x13 pan.
Using a spoon sprinkle the crumbs/cheese mixture on top of the chicken.
Bake for 20-30 minutes

*The peas were from the freezer and the (1 cup) corn was leftovers from a few days ago when we had tacos.

Tuesday
Leftovers & Frozen Pizza


Wednesday
Fish sticks, french fries, and hot dogs


Thursday 
Lunch: $1 subs at Jimmy John's
(I know I know, this cost money.  But how often can you feed two adults and a two-year old with only $2.14?  Jon brought chips from home--free because we get chips for free from Old Dutch--and we got water.)
Dinner:  Parents paid for dinner at the Iowa State Fair!


Friday
Got ready to head out to Mt Vernon after lunch to attend the rehearsal for Mike & Megan's wedding!  We are looking forward to the year(s) ahead!  Their apartment is not far from us here in Ames!
Lunch: leftovers found in parent's fridge
Dinner: Rehearsal Dinner :)

I was raised by a strict purity culture, and my father is a narcissistic sex addict

Image
  I would like to imagine life without hidden secrets or agendas.  If my desires could be brought to life my childhood would have been completely different.   ~~~~~ Until recently, I had never heard of the term "purity culture."  When I learned more about it, everything began to come clear to me.  The harsh feelings of betrayal stood out in my life countless times upon investing in space to process all the areas purity culture has entered into my way of thinking.  Purity culture is gender expectations based on a strict stereotype.  Men are expected to be strong, "masculine" leaders of the household, church, and society.  Women are expected to support them -- to be pretty, "feminine," sweet, supportive wives and mothers.  Before I go on into more detail, I can't help but notice things from that stereotype that has definite red flags.  Never once did it mention men are to be fathers, but it surely intended on making clear to state about women becoming su

Every Voice Matters

Image
  I was raised in a household where my voice wasn't heard.  My opinions didn't matter, and my questions were not respected.  The space around me was filled with chaos and noise that didn't make sense to me.  I was surrounded by dictatorship in my own home.  I had dominate people directing me and pushing me to do what they wanted me to do.  Meanwhile a few of us sitting back in agony and confusion of why this was able to occur.  This led to my silence, social anxiety, and self doubt.  The voice inside my head never stops.  It takes on overwhelming pressure to make decisions.  It's confusing when I make a boundary.  Growing up the boundaries were constantly broken, and yet I had no clue what was happening.  Especially because of the fact I didn't know boundaries existed.  The voice inside my head wanted to scream and run and yet I had nothing to say that would make them listen. The lack of confidence in every thing I do is portrayed by my ability to fill my living spa

Things that change with a baby....

Image
Two months of changes: Use alarm clock to check length of feedings and not to wake you up. Prepare to have outings take "that much" longer. Lean over to cuddle with hubby and realize he has already left for work. (added later) Husbands call their wives Mommy, and Husbands are called Daddy Touch cold zipper and think you have spit up on you. More poop, more smiles. Perspectives change: dirty diapers a good thing because it means a healthy baby Realizing the amount of junk you eat, because it goes to the baby also Clothes are hardly ever clean and once you get the chance to do a load--she wets or blowouts on more! You get delighted to hear a burp, especially when it finally comes out after one of those middle of the night feedings. Your free-time becomes getting another snack or meal, changing a load of laundry, taking a shower, or updating your grocery list and meal plan. Watching TV/Netflix, checking up on Facebook, or watching a movie takes the p
