I came home from running kids around to practices, etc. last week and my four year old presented me with this picture of me. I love it. |
Remember the days when I used to post my menu every week? Well, I started this blog 10 years ago (wow!) and posted menus weekly faithfully for years. My kids are getting older (now 13, 11, 8 and 4) and things are so much busier than they used to be. Blogging has taken a back seat, and unfortunately, so has good menu planning and family dinner time too. Quite often I think "there's a ton of the food in the fridge that we need to eat up" or something comes up right at dinner-making time and we end up having quesadillas or oatmeal. Anyway...I'm determined to do better. Menu planning leads to better grocery shopping trips and better meals, all of which my family appreciates. :)
Anyway...life is busy, but super great! We had our first snow yesterday {trying to stay positive about it}. Soccer season is so close to being over {the last week}. Basketball season started a month ago, but now maybe we can enjoy it. I bought the warmest, fuzziest sweats that I never want to take off. And now I'm going to post my menu, change out of my fuzzy sweats, exercise and get ready for the day before my big kids get home.
So, here's my menu plan for the week.
Monday: spaghetti
Tuesday: baked potato soup
Wednesday: ham and egg mcmuffins
Thursday: parmesan tilapia, simple orzo pilaf
Friday: easy night
Saturday: easy night
Sunday: breakfast burritos
