As summer winds down and our fall schedule starts I shift gears with menu planning as our evenings get a little fuller and we eat in shifts more often. I tried the idea of meal prepping for the week this past week by cooking meals for Tuesday-Thursday all on Tuesday. Won’t do that again! 🤣🤣🤣👎. Ha! I did not enjoy cooking for endless hours in one day! I’d rather plan super easy meals!
Anyway, here’s the plan!
Friday: Boneless turkey breast and potatoes in the crockpot
Saturday - Dinner at my moms
Sunday - it’s Baptism Sunday so we will be later heading for home and plan to grab something.
Monday - Spaghetti Carbonara and French Bread
Tuesday - Amish baked chicken and noodles
Wednesday - everyone’s kind of on their own
Thursday - Barbacups and fries

First up— I went on a little retreat with my Sunday School class. We stayed at one of the ladies cottages and ate, did a craft, ate, got ice cream, ate, did a couple Bible Studies, ate again, went to Lake Michigan and…….. you guessed it, ate some more 🤣🤣🤣
