We are actually still enjoying a few more days of vacation but it is time to plan for the rest of the week! In September I created a menu for the month. While I didn't stick to it exactly it sure made meal planning easier - especially when I actually looked at it before planning the week! I've done the same thing for October. I also tried to adjust it and make changes based on what I actually cooked so that I can "hopefully" save it and use it in future years to make it easier to plan. (That was a goal I had this year and I'm finally getting to it!) Tuesdays have become my "Crock Pot" day. We have music lessons throughout the day including in the evening so I knew I needed to plan for people to eat in shifts and for easy prep - I can place everything in the crock pot during the day and it will be ready for an easy dinner whenever folks need to eat!
Anyway, here's the plan for the week
Friday-Monday - My mom is still in charge of planning
Tuesday - Sausage and Tortellini Soup and French Bread
Wednesday - Baked Tacos and Chips and Salsa
Thursday - Chicken Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy and Corn
Next week things will return to a little more normal :-)
