The HerdKeeper

I am going to try again.  Spending less time on Facebook to record our funnies and more time here. Life moves to fast not to record these precious moment in my life. A new endeavor, combined with a not so new endeavor.   Cooking! For a long time now, cooking has been about feeding the masses aka the herd.  Meal planning happened on the way to the grocery store.  I have not been enjoying the process or even caring what we ate as long as everyone ate it and it was relatively healthy.  As I was surfing the internet I ran across something I just HAD to try.  It is a menu planning program that allows you to plop in recipes from the web, maintains a grocery list, you can add your own AND it has mobile capabilities! Plan to Eat.... I have signed up for the 30 day free trial.   The beauty of this trial is I didn't have to give a credit card number and then cancel. I'll let you know how this works. plantoeat.com

I love to cook, I hate to clean up. One of my family favorites is spaghetti. Samantha, Emma and Annah all know how to make spaghetti , Rebekah the 14 year old has thus remained under my radar and has avoided most cooking. Definitely have to work on that. Here is Annah making spaghetti for the masses. 3 lbs ground beef browned with one large onion(my family does not like onion so we chop this into tiny pieces) 4 large cans of crushed tomato sauce 4 large cans of tomato sauce 2 Tablespoons of basil, oregano and garlic (powder, salt or sometimes the real thing depending on what we have on hand) We serve salad and garlic bread with this. yum.
