This Week's Menu + Recipes

We're bracing for our THIRD nor'easter in two weeks here and the snow is already falling. Thankfully my husband is working from home and schools everywhere are canceled- everywhere is cancelled, we have gone soft in recent years, ha ha!- so I don't have to worry all day about anyone having to drive. Oh! I just remembered that Jonah works this evening...we will have to discuss that one later...

So moving on, I love seeing what other busy Mamas plan for their family's meals, so I thought I'd share mine from this past week. Honestly I wish we could go out to eat more, but the cost is INSANE with all these big appetites around here, so we really don't eat out all together very often anymore. I'll post the recipes I've blogged about...enjoy! If you have any questions, ask away!

I guess this post should actually be titled: LAST week's menu, but... ha ha

Or how about this for an alternate title: 147 plates to prepare! That's three meals a day, times seven people! Seven. It doesn't normally phase me, but when I was writing it all out, it seems like a LOT.
