52 Weeks of Organizing * Inside the Fridge *

Can we do it?? Yes we Can!!

So here goes nothin', I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and tracking my progress. I printed a blank list to organize my 52 weeks of organizing from Organizing Junkie. I'm just filling it in with things that need to be done as I go. Surprisingly I only have about 20 things on there right now!

The first thing I did was organize the fridge. I was really not impressed with the original layout. The top shelf kept freezing so it always ruined my eggs. The water and yogurt, things I use all the time were in the worst spot for bending over. And all the “middle” stuff was hard to reach.

So I did some thinking and came up with this....

PS. Baskets are amazing for holding smaller items that can get lost in the back!

One more pic....ahhh that feels so much better!

Menu Plan Monday - August 1st - 1st Birthday Party!

Hello, and welcome back to my menu plan! The last few weeks I've been sick and just plain old busy and tired. So after a much needed albeit unplanned “vacation” … I'm baaaaack! And with plenty of steam I hope. I didn't make a single craft for almost 3 weeks! That's borderline insanity for me. I usually make one thing every day to keep up with my neverending to do list! I'm sooo excited for my little one's first birthday and I'll be sure to post pictures. My friend Sasha Kolesnik will be doing the photography for us! Yay!

Pasta with Shrimp in a Creamy Dill Sauce

Because I've been keeping you in the dark about our meal plan for the past couple weeks I thought I'd share my newest creation with you. So So So Good! This one deserves an extra yum! Unfortunately for you though I don't cook with exact measurements. I found the original recipe somewhere and adapted it to the ingredients I had on hand. The original called for buttermilk and yogurt in addition to the sour cream.

But here it goes...
Thaw your shrimp.
(I always buy the cooked shrimp rings instead of buying the bags of shrimp as you can get them for a better price)
Cook your pasta.
Grate some zucchini (I had some frozen so I just thawed it)
Toss almost an entire med size sour cream container in a frying pan, along with some oil. And some milk to water it down a bit to a saucy consistency.
Add a good amount of dill, some basil, salt and pepper, and I added some chili pepper as well (awesome with dill!)
And add the shrimp as well. Heat on med until hot. (The shrimp ring shrimp is pre-cooked)

That's it! Now pour some of that delish sauce on your pasta and your good to go!

Menu Plan Monday * Week of July 4th

Hello everyone and welcome to my second week of posting my menu plan! I've always done menu planning to some extent otherwise all we would eat is chicken fingers and perogies :( As much as hubby says he would enjoy that I know it's important it is for our bodies, and our budget! to keep healthy food on the table. If you don't know I also have a slight case of diabetes so my menu will be very low in sugar but I love to sweeten my food and drinks with Stevia, so you'll be sure to see her name around here again!

Monday
Soya Lime Chicken
Corn on the Cob

Tuesday
Pork Ribs on the grill

Wednesday
BBQ Downtown

Thursday
Homemade Pizza Pops- freeze extra for lunches

Friday
Lemon Dill Fish

Saturday

Sunday

 Hmm...that's alot of food! We may have to cut one day out and just have leftovers :P
