Menu Plan Monday


There's too much to do this week to anticipate much time in the kitchen. A garden to start. A study that looks like a tornado tore through. Continued potty training (which really means training me ... but she's peed 3 times in her potty so I'm optimistic!). A husband with spring conferences (ergo less shared cooking and cleaning). And sun ... maybe sun for more walks? So, I'm trying to go basic this week, which I'm hoping will also help us save money. That's why the word "leftover" occurs 9 times in my meal plan. Yeah for toaster ovens!
