Hi everyone! So, two things. First, my menu this week is kinda lame. I’m traveling early in the week (visiting the Ben & Jerry’s headquarters, so fun!), so it’s easy meals that the kids picked for Dad to make. Then, next weekend, we’re going on a little trip to Los Angeles. So, not much cooking happening!

Second thing, I might be on NBC Nightly News this week with the kids making dinner. A filming crew came to the house Friday, taped us cooking and interviewed me quite extensively about the issue of “natural” food labels. All I know is the story will probably air early this week. So, if you want to try to catch it, I suppose just set up your DVR to record the show all week. You never know how these stories will get edited, so there’s a chance we won’t even be in the story. But we also very well could be! So…um…I guess watch it. I’m actually pretty anxious about it all, so if no one sees it, it’s all good! 😉

MONDAY:
– Hot dogs

TUESDAY:
– English Muffin Pizzas

WEDNESDAY:
– Eat out

THURSDAY:
– Rachel Sandwiches

FRIDAY – SUNDAY:
– Family trip to LA

I am not even bothering making the printable PDF for you this week because, well, it’s pretty much the lamest menu ever. But lame menus usually mean fun times, right? 😉

As usual, please share your menus in the comments! Love seeing what you cook for dinner each week!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! (Can I get sued for using “Super Bowl” in that instance? I think I’m safe.) I’m making Sweet Chex Mix and 7-Layer Dip today. What are you having for the big game?

MONDAY:
– Homemade Hamburgers

TUESDAY:
