Weekly Menu

.
This week should be a fun summer week. While I'm trying to get some meals in the freezer, I will try to limit my cooking to the weekend -- we're being treated both weekend nights to dinner by our parents. We're celebrating Doug's new job and my upcoming birthday with Doug's parents on Saturday at a Mexican restaurant, and my mom is cooking my birthday dinner on Sunday. We almost never go out to dinner, and rarely have anyone else cook for me, so this is really a big double header for us!

During the week I will try to limit my freezer prep to breads and breakfasts, although I may allow one day for cooking. I'm trying not to become consumed with this whole thing, but it's hard when you know you will really be out of commission for several weeks.
