We are wrapping up all the things. A few weeks ago was the final Wednesday Night Yough Group. The following week guitar and Friday TKD wrapped up. This coming week both drums and piano lessons will wrap up. That leaves just Monday night TKD and Choir, also on Monday - both of which will wrap up by the end of June giving a month or two of a free calendar! I love the "dog days" of summer - I guess it is the teacher in me - where we can just read (and yes, my kids read novels now), hang out together, and not do much of anything! We are still wrapping up school - we lost momentum mid-April and are limping along to the finish line this year - so I haven't event set into motion my summer plans yet. The one thing that remains constant is . .. we always have to eat! Here's the plan for the coming week.
Friday - I'm cooking up a batch of my spaghetti sauce and plan to make Stuffed Shells this week and will use the sauce later in the week for straight up Spaghetti.
Saturday - Dinner at my mom's
Sunday - Joshua and Nate have another youth service project so they will eat lunch with the youth group. Darryl and I will grab lunch - not sure what or where.
Monday - Sloppy Joes and Chips. I ended up making sloppy joes last week and froze half it to use this week to keep my Monday easy with both TKD and Choir.
Tuesday - Tonight is the piano recital. To keep it simple, I put a pork loin in the crock pot to have with "Souper" Rice and green beans. (I'll have to share both of those recipes soon - both tasty and simple!)
Wednesday - Spaghetti and Garlic Bread (Using some of that sauce I made last week!)
Thursday - Tonight I have a dinner out with ladies from church. To keep it simple at home, I'll cook up leftover pork into pulled pork BBQ with biscuits and a salad.
As we go into summer I'm hoping to double up meals both to save in cost and time. Three examples this week - the sloppy joes, Spaghetti sauce, and pulled pork.
