    Week 760 Weekly Menu

    Long time no talk! The day after Thanksgiving marked the beginning of floor demolition in our house. Unsurprisingly, the past week has been insane. Hence, no menu plan last week. But we have our kitchen back now (yay!) and we are sick to death of eating out/spending money on takeout. It’s time to get back in the kitchen! Also, we have wood floors now and I feel so grateful and excited.

    Week 759 Menu + Thanksgiving!

    You know what is amazing about having family live nearby, something we’ve never had until two years ago? Thanksgiving cooking help! Not only do I not have to cook everything, but we get even more food. It’s a dream.

    MONDAY – WEDNESDAY:

    • NO IDEA. We are painting our kitchen, which has to get done before our floors start getting ripped out on Saturday, plus, you know, Thanksgiving. Our cupboards are currently bare and I have no idea when we’ll get to the store. Good luck, Maynard children!

    2022 THANKSGIVING FEAST

    THURSDAY – SUNDAY:

    • Leftovers + floors getting ripped out kicking off a week of pure insanity…but no more cream-colored carpet! Woohoo!

    Share your menus for the week! And definitely share your Thanksgiving plans along with links to recipes if you have them. Can’t wait to see what everyone has cooking!

    Week 756 is a bust for me…

    It was bound to happen…I’m sick. Our high school of 2,000 students had 700 students absent last week. Fun times! Anyway, I’m out of it and definitely not planning or cooking or shopping. I kept thinking I’d feel better and get a menu whipped up, but I’m just gonna cry uncle, go to bed and late Nate and kids figure it out.

    I am certain several of you are still on the ball this week, so please share your menu in the comments below! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got cooking!
