Back from vacation! It was GREAT!…but now we have to go back to “real life” after 2.5 weeks of Christmas Break. Boo.

I’m totally stoked that we stuck to our menu last week and I’m really looking forward to this weeks menu. We’ve got flooding going on all around us, so tomorrow I get the day off, so I am going to try to get all the food preparations done for this week’s menu to hopefully simplify the cooking this week, and then I can go ahead and focus on getting out and working out instead of chopping veggies and meal preparations.
oh my goodness, hope the flooding didn’t affect your family at all!
I’m always so happy when I prep food ahead of time…although I rarely do it. it’s just so helpful during the week!
Here we go!
Monday. Pulled pork on a roll , green beans
Tuesday. Chicken stir fry
Wednesday. Chicken fajitas
Thursday. Naan pizzas
Friday. Rice and bean burrito with veggies
Have a great week everyone!
