Last week, I did a {fairly} good job of sticking to our menu plan. I switched around a couple of days, skipped a couple of meals because of leftovers and the fact that I forgot the Red Sox Season Opener versus the Rangers was Friday night which meant NO COOKING for me. {No, we didn't attend the game.

Spring Cleaning with Ask Anna – Task 1 – Drapes and Blinds
