My mom is making dinner as I write this post and she just set this bowl of fruit dip on the table. I love visiting my parents’ and my grandparents’ homes and seeing dishes that have been around longer than me still getting used on a regular basis. I wonder which bowls I’ll serve to Cate and Anna in 30 years that we are using today.
I’m still in New Jersey, but the girls and I fly home tomorrow. What a trip it’s been! I can’t believe how much we’ve done in just two weeks. This week I actually do have to plan a menu since we’ll be home and needing nourishment. Not that ice cream isn’t nourishing.
MONDAY:
- On an airplane!
TUESDAY:
- Caprese paninis
- Crusty bread
WEDNESDAY:
- Boursin Turkey Baguette
THURSDAY:
- Butternut squash soup
FRIDAY:
- Leftovers
SATURDAY:

SUNDAY:
