Hello! We areĀ finally done traveling and home. Phew! This week is a quiet week (the only one of the summer) and we do have a meal plan pulled together for the most part. Just taking it easy. Also, Nate went to the store with me so our menu is a little more meat-heavy than normal, which kind of makes me laugh for some reason.
MONDAY:
– Sausage, peppers & onions
– Green beans and broccoli
TUESDAY:
– Chili
WEDNESDAY:
– Bolognese and Pasta
– Salad
THURSDAY:
– Steak
– Asian-style green beans
FRIDAY:
– Leftovers
SATURDAY:
– Eat out night
SUNDAY:
– TBD…we have family arriving for a visit that evening, so I’ll probably have a soup or something waiting for them!

The kids and I made our first batch ever of raspberry freezer jam!!!!! We ended up using the Ball brand plastic jar of instant pectin because that’s all I could find and followed the directions on it. Worked great and so yummy! My Mom pointed out (as I called her from the store) that the jar allows you to adjust for the amount of fruit you have. Just measured the fruit and used the correct multiple of the recipe!
P.S. we used the berries from our plants that we just planted about 5 months ago! I didn’t know they grow so well in SoCal!
This makes me so happy to hear! And I just discovered those jars of pectin myself (well, actually, Nate found it for me!). They are super cool making it easier to adjust amounts. Love it!I am also happy to hear raspberries grew so well for you in SoCal…I am definitely going to try planting them next year. so awesome! Thank you for commenting!
