Hello everyone! It’s been a while. Probably the longest while of me disappearing from the blog, meal planning, cooking…all of it! It has been a crazy couple of months, with Cate heading off to college in the midst of it all. I truly have been barely cooking dinner at all, let alone planning ahead. I’m okay with that. We all go through seasons. And I’ve gotten more disciplined in other parts of my life, so just chalking it all up to balance and figuring out what that balance is.
Owen, who is now in sixth grade, has been really cute cooking with me when we have gotten around to making dinner. So I’m going to get him a little more involved with the planning and cooking. So, here’s our first menu in a long while! And here’s to keeping it up going forward!
MONDAY:
- Breakfast for dinner: Pancakes and eggs
TUESDAY:
- Chicken Enchiladas Verde
WEDNESDAY:
THURSDAY:
- Eat out after Owen’s first middle school orchestra concert!
FRIDAY:
- Leftovers
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
