Believe the hype. My goodness.

    Week 775 Weekly menu

    Hello again! Unsurprisingly, the end of this school year got very busy and we have barely cooked at all over the last month. We officially have a high school graduate! It is hard to believe that Cate was only 2 years old when I started this blog. The time has felt both fast and slow. 

    Our whole family is tired of eating out and squeaking by in the dinner department, so we’re excited to get back into the planning and cooking groove.

    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.

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!
