Happy Mother’s Day! Cate told me yesterday that Mother’s Day was my day to relax, so I’m taking up her on it. It’s funny, when I planned my menu last week, I forgot that Sunday was Mother’s Day. We will not be having breakfast for dinner tonight. In fact, Nate is cooking filet mignon. I can’t wait for dinner!
We received some Japanese sweet potatoes in our CSA bag last week. I kept neglecting them, so Nate roasted them up yesterday. They were so good. They taste like sweet potatoes, but they have a more buttery, almost squash-like flavor. Just another wonderful item we’ve discovered through our CSA. So glad I finally got my act together and signed up!
MONDAY:
– Leftovers
TUESDAY:
– Caprese Paninis (didn’t get to these last week)
WEDNESAY:
– Whole Wheat Pancakes
THURSDAY:
– Eat out (Kindergarten open house that evening)
FRIDAY:

SATURDAY:

SUNDAY:

Time for you to share your menu for the week! If you’re a meal-planning mom, you don’t have to post your menu today. I’ll cut you some slack. Consider it my Mother’s Day gift to you! (That said, you still better share it sometime this week!)
Oh, and if you’re looking for Mother’s Day reading material, be sure to check out the Top 9 on DailyBuzz Moms right now. I forgot to tell you, but DailyBuzz Moms is a new, beautiful website that I have the honor of editing. So excited about my new gig! ANYWAY…like I said, there are some good Mother’s Day posts on there right now. “So we dance” made me cry while I was editing the other night. My non-pregnant coworker said that post got her too, so I don’t even think it was my hormones. 😉
Hi! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
I signed up for a CSA also, ours is run by refugees so we get some native veggies from their country along with regular veggies from the USA. It starts in June so excited wonder what veggies I’ll get.

Happy Mothers’ Day!
Menu planning has been taking a major backseat as of late for a variety of reasons. One of the main ones is that my all day sickness from this pregnancy has turned into late afternoon until I go to bed sickness! BOO!
I’m going to try this week! REALLY! 🙂
Monday- Kielbasa, Sauerkraut and potatoes
Tuesday- Pasta- quick and easy! T-ball
Wednesday- At Grandma’s
Thursday- Crockpot ribs….a little worried about this…
Friday- Leftovers for mom and dad….chicken nuggets for the kids!
Saturday- Thinking about heading down the shore for the day but right now, not so sure!
Sunday- GRANDMA’S!
I feel your pain! hang in there!!!
crockpot ribs are AMAZING! Put them in before work with some BBQ sauce, sliced onion and a minced garlic clove for about 8 hours and thats IT! just make sure they are all totally submerged in sauce. I also like to add extra honey to the jarred bbq
I second that crockpot ribs are AMAZING!! I do mine with a dry rub. Brown sugar and any combination of spices you like (cumin, chili powder, garlic,….). Rub on both sides of the ribs, make little foil packets, and stack them in your crockpot. We cook ours for 8 hours on low and they’re fall-off-the-bone delicious!!
oh goodness, ladies…I think that sounds like a fabulous way to cook ribs! I’ll need to remember both of your techniques and try them some time!!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Whenever I see the panini sandwiches on your menu I think to myself, why don’t we make those all the time?? They look so good. Maybe this week!
Those sweet potatoes look AMAZING!!! How did you roast them? My mouth is watering looking at that picture…
nate washed them, poked them with a fork (like baked potatoes), wrapped in foil, placed on a pan, and roasted at 400 degrees, I think around 45 minutes or so – until we could pierce them easily with a fork.
then we cut them open and topped with butter, salt and pepper – yum!
nate just let me know he actually did NOT wrap them in foil. you could probably do it either way! 🙂
