Hey, everybody! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!
Right now I’m on a plane headed to Malawi with ONE and Heifer International…or maybe I’m actually in Malawi by now. I’m not totally sure because I wrote this menu post ahead of time! I have NO idea what I’m going to be eating this week, but I do know what Nate and the kids will be eating. I bought a ton of food ahead of time and tried to think of nice easy meals that Nate and my dad (who is helping out while I’m gone) can throw together.
