How is it the end of the school year already? And how can it be JUNE two thousand TWELVE? Someone tell Father Time to slow things down. I can’t keep up.
All of our end-of-the-school-year activities kept us super busy last week, so we didn’t make our soups like we had planned, so they’re back on the menu. By the way, I was so happy to read all of your comments last week and learn that I am not the only one having issues with the Tooth Fairy’s reliability. I think we’ve proven that she’s overworked and maybe needs to outsource some of her responsibilities. Perhaps she could rely on the parents for some help? 😉 (By the way, I loved all your comments…so funny!)

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 am looking forward to school ending as much as the kids are! I’m so sick of nagging over school stuff ”” I need a break too! We’ve got an 8th grade graduation this week (along with the last day of school) and then the kids are going to grandparents for a few days 🙂

Would you mind sharing your honey-chipotle turkey meatball recipe? I would love to have it!
hi cynthia! here’s the recipe: http://www.fearlesshomemaker.com/2012/05/honey-chipotle-turkey-meatballs/
i didn’t make significant changes, but i’ll try to come back and put up my version after i blog about it. 🙂 they were yummy!
What do you stuff your sweet potatoes with???
mexican stuff! i usually microwave sweet potatoes first to cook them most of the way, then cut them & add black beans, mexican seasonings (or you can use taco seasoning), veggies (like onions, tomatoes, peppers, etc.), and cheese. i bake them for 5-10 minutes and then top with avocado, sour cream, salsa, etc. you could also do some meat if you want!
Oh my goodness… I started a new job about 3 weeks ago, and I just haven’t had time to meal plan!! Let’s get back into this!
