Nate got Anna a white princess dress-up with accompanying veil yesterday. And I think this veil may become a permanent fixture on her head. It seriously hasn’t left her head.
Last week my 7-year-old Cate helped plan the menu. Each afternoon she would ask what was for dinner that night, and if the plan had changed (due to unexpected leftovers, errands, etc), she could remember what food item we had planned for which days. She would totally call me out on it and then re-plan out the week for me. It was sooooooo cute. And, thanks to her persistence, there is only one item we didn’t get to. Good job, Cate!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted my menus here but I still visit your site all the time. Lately I’ve signed up for a produce co-op basket (Not a CSA but similar) and have really had to plan ahead to make sure nothing goes to waste. Here’s the plan for this week.
Sunday: Bacon and butternut pasta
Monday: Chef’s salad
Tuesday: Tacos
Wednesday: Chicken salad sandwiches
Thursday: Eat out
Friday: Hamburgers
Saturday: Butternut stuffed pasta shells with brown butter sage sauce
so glad you posted again! 🙂
Your Saturday menu sounds divine!!
I’m lacking the desire to cook or meal plan (or eat much!) thanks to the heat, so I tried to stock some foods that will lend themselves well to more meze / tapa / quick and simple “snack” type meals. So not really a plan, just a list of things I’m thinking about for this week:
-Eggs with Salsa & Corn Chips & leftover salad
-Hummus, pita bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese, olives
-Broiled salmon, salad, bread & butter
-Turkey avocado sandwiches
-Jicama avocado mango grapefruit salad
-Chickpeas + rice + dandelion greens
-Goat cheese on toast + something with swiss chard
-Pasta with zucchini + chickpeas
-Chicken adobo (if we feel like some “real” food)
Wow, that doesn’t seem so bad after all.
doesn’t seem bad one bit! you are more inspired than you realize, apparently!

It is definitely harder now that the kids are home all the time (minus work and camps) ”” there’s so much more thought going into lunches and snacks. Muffins have been a favorite the last three weeks ”” strawberry, banana, blueberry and peach so far. Trying to make extra of dinner foods to double as lunches the next day too so they aren’t bored with sandwiches all the time.
