Love your food inspired week in the life of layout! It is hard to cook at home sometimes but kudos to you! That taco soup sounds delicious

Those flowers are so pretty! I totally get your struggle with cooking more at home. Drive-thrus are so much easier lol. I do a faux chicken pot pie using biscuits as well. I cook chicken/frozen veggies/cream of chicken in the crockpot all day and then just make the biscuits when I get home. The banana bread looks wonderful and I love the big journal card!

@IntenseMagic It's just getting so expensive to eat out! I found this cute YouTube channel (Julie Pacheco) and she specializes in inexpensive and extreme budget saving menus. She cooks for a family, so for each of her meals I get at least 4 lunches or dinners. And of course, because I watch her, I get all sorts of other channels like it, including a person who makes inexpensive meals for one! I wish I'd had something like that when I had kids at home. I remember trying the magazine meal plans, but they were always complicated. I like that she goes shopping and I can see what she bought, buy the same, and make the meals as I need to. The banana bread WAS wonderful! I had not made that in eons!

@scrapchyck Going to check her out now!! I can use all the help I can get lol. I agree, I wish things like this had been around when all my kids were home.

Love the combination of the pool color and the bright yellow!
