I’m so excited to be doing a guest post for Making The World Cuter!! Don't you all love this site?! My girlfriends and I love to get great ideas. I mean can you believe the old seat cover turned skirt???!!! Awesome!!

I’m Carrian from {Sweet Basil} a
food blog. I love to cook and bake, especially with my little
family-husband, 5 yr old and 9 month old. We are from opposite ends of
the states; Cade is from South Carolina and I am from Washington. We met
in Idaho, moved around a bit and for now we are in Utah. One of our
favorite hobbies is cooking and/or baking.

Over a year ago I was getting a lot of requests to do meal plans
because people were sick of trying to think up what to make for dinner
and compiling a grocery list so they didn’t forget anything. I truly was
striving to meet everyone’s needs, but then I got pregnant with our
second and due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum I was in the hospital too much
(not to mention too darn sick to think about food) that I just couldn’t
do it anymore. We had our little girl and while it was an adjustment to
have two kiddos I began trying to do the meal plans again. Folks, I am
just too pooped to make up a bunch of meal plans and email them out
every week. SOOOOOO, I created Meal Plan Monday. It’s pretty much awesome. Here’s how it works

Every Monday I post a meal plan that starts on the next Sunday. That
way you have all week to shop. The meal plans are designed to
incorporate leftovers or use the same ingredients so you aren’t stuck
with a bunch of ingredients one week without a new dinner to use it in. I
also include a printable grocery list and obviously the recipes. It
saves so much time and effort having a meal plan in place and money
since you can look at the different weeks and what’s on sale and choose
your menu based on that. You can also look at previous weeks and sub any
dinners you really enjoyed.


You can find different recipes like,

Honey Roasted Chicken

Bacon Fried Rice

Mango Quesadilla

If you ever have a request for healthy, vegetarian, quick dishes etc
you can always leave me a comment or email me at
ohsweetbasil(@)gmail(dot)com.
