Helpful Dinner Ideas to Make Dinner-Time Easier

It’s a new week, and I for one hope this week doesn’t contain quite as much snow as last week.  I heard all in total, our snowfall was 29 inches last week!  It’s beautiful, I’ll admit, but it’s freezing cold and my poor son and husband have to work their tushes off shoveling the driveway and walkway!  I do get lots more done at home though when I’m snowed in, and the kids and I have done some fun activities this week together as well.   They were disappointed though, that because they’re homeschooled, they didn’t get snow days like the local school kids… 😛

Here are some delicious dinner ideas for the week, a couple of which are meatless!

Brown beans (Pinto beans) and cornbread
