Happy Tuesday! Wait, TUESDAY?!?! In case you couldn’t tell, I, um, didn’t plan a menu yet this week. This is one of those “keepin’ it real” posts. I’m presently buried in work and, over the last week, have been dealing with sick kids and a certain something that you can find in people’s hair that ryhmes with “mice.” (I don’t even want to say the word because this is a food blog and YUCK…but if you ever happen to find yourself dealing with the same issue, the AirAllé heat treatment is the BEST THING EVER. 100% fooproof. Also, 100% expensive, but 100% worth it in my book.) Basically, it’s been a great week. I am straight up using last week’s menu, including the shopping list that I wrote down over a week ago and has been sitting on my desk ever since. Good times!
I feel like I’m so late with this you probably have all given up on me…BUT…if you DO have your weekly menu ready, please share it in the comments! Thank you thank you!
Hope you’re all having a better week than I am! 😉

Oh no… Crazy week! We just got back from AZ. We drove 6 hours with other family driving 10+ hours for my in-law’s surprise 50th anniversary party and they both came down with the flu the night before, so party cancelled and we were all stuck in hotel rooms in a town with nothing to do! I hope this week is better for you!

What is “Sun Basket?”
Sun Basket is a delivery meal prep kit like Blue Apron. They send you recipes and all of the ingredients to prepare them. I love it! What makes it stand out for us is the flexibility to choose all the meals (many just send you 3 automatically) and the variety of healthy choices. Many items are organic. And the prep/cook times are accurate. For us, Blue Apron took much longer. Delicious too.
