Send help. I can’t stop eating Butterfinger eggs. The situation is DIRE. And I’m really wishing the Easter Bunny hadn’t brought so much candy that I happen to love.

Despite my apparent lack of self control around Easter candy, we’re having a great holiday, made even better by the fact that we have Spring Break this week! We are visiting family and I’m taking a meal planning vacation. Woohoo! I’ll be back next week, but for now I’m kind of relishing the fact that I have no idea what we’re going to be eating this week!
Just because I’m a slacker doesn’t mean all of you are, too…if you have a menu to share, please do! We need your meal plans this week to inspire one another!


Happy Easter! We don’t like ham, but we figured pork carnitas would be a great stand-in. 🙂
