It was nice to see the menus. I haven’t made a menu in two weeks, apparently in my last trimester I have decided I don’t like to cook – ugh!!! That is not a good thing, as my family still has to eat (and that is how I make a living.) Also, I wanted to prepare a lot of foods for my freezer so when the baby gets here we have food ready, is that goal completed? Nope, not even close.
Well, since I bombed this week, maybe I’ll start planning next week, there are a lot of great recipes.
You can view previous menus at http://kitchenandkids.com/category/this-week-in-our-kitchen/
