Weekly Menu

.

I really got slammed this week and dinner suffered. It was on the table every night, but rarely with the scheduled dessert and a few times it was pretty darn late. With Doug's job change, I have to drive an hour round trip every afternoon to pick up my high schooler, and sometimes, if he's doing his homework in a teacher's classroom, I might have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for him to come out of school. That's a big chunk of my afternoon, and it's especially disruptive in the late afternoon. So this week, I'm simplifying my meals even more. Hopefully this will just be until we get used to the schedule, but I may be using the crock pot a lot more this year.
