Oh my, I'm sooo with you! Sometimes you just want to pop something in the microwave for a minute or less! I have tried those Alexa breads - they are very good. I have that exact mac-n-cheese in my freezer but haven't tried it yet. Good to know that you like it! I'll whip that up along with a frozen pizza at some point this weekend. Thanks for sharing your good find.

I love that Annie's Mac and Cheese! It is good and not unhealthy. If I were to make mac and cheese from scratch it would be a lot worse for me than Annie's, so I am a fan of the frozen kind.

Hey I believe you are... meal planning! Yah! So I've heard some crazy stories lately I need to blog about and was wondering if I could quote you on this: "I sometimes wonder why we moms cannot all just get along? Why are we recreating Junior High with each other? To that end, I've made it my personal mission to give mothers with temper tantrum throwing toddlers a BIG smile and a empathetic, " Hang in there. We've all been there!" Instead of looking down at them and smirking because my children are currently behaving like angels and nibbling on an organic mini rice cake." Its probably my favorite thing to read of all time and I would love to share it, let me know if thats ok!

While I love to cook from scratch, our busy schedule calls for otherwise. I am not very good with freezing meals for later but I have become the queen of quick cooking! It really is all about having the proper basic ingredients on hand. And Sam's Club's is also a godo friend to us. Austin loves the shrimp scampi that you just toss in a skillet.
