My daughter has the entire upcoming week off, which means that my husband will be home, too. Feeding the entire family breakfast, lunch, dinner and snackage for 9 consecutive days is pretty daunting, so I’m breaking it up into weekend-weekdays-weekend for the sake of sanity.
MoreOur veggie stash is a little low this week so we will turn to the pantry and freezer to fill out some meals.
MoreThis week’s meal plan has me cranking on the oven. Yay for summer being over!
