I recently made a quick coleslaw to go with some pulled pork sandwiches we had for dinner one night. When I pulled out the poppy seeds for the slaw, I was struck by just how pretty they were. I had to take a photo, for no other reason than to share the simple beauty of these poppy seeds.
I have a couple repeat items from last week’s menu. I didn’t end up doing much cooking due to my travel and the kids’ activities. I am hoping to actually go to the store this week and get some cooking done!

Hi, Jane,
I’ve been thinking of making pulled pork myself soon. I usually only do this once a year because smoking a pork shoulder makes a lot of pulled pork. Fortunately, it freezes well.
Here’s our menu for a recent Sunday Dinner:
Grilled Glazed Baby Back Ribs
Broccoli Salad
White Sweet Corn
Crudité: jicama, celery, Nantes carrots
Newman’s Own Virgin Lemonade
Vella Merlot
Strawberries with Angel Food Cake

Thursday- leftovers hopefully
Friday- last day of school pizza or something fun

Yum, your menu sounds great. We are doing the veggie based eating too. Though some weeks turn out more carb heavy than we’d like. It’s a process, and we are getting better week by week. The extra prep on Sundays helps a ton. Good luck to you!
