    Week 770 Weekly Menu

    Hello, all! Well, last week took quite the turn…Cate and I ended up driving to three universities in three days. Fun, exhausting, helpful, and completely blew up our meal plan and ability to cook dinner. So, lots of repeats from last week’s menu for us. But I didWhite Chicken Chili make the that was on the menu, which made for lots of great leftovers for when we were in a pinch!
