Menu Plan Monday


The last few weeks have been a bit disorganized in the kitchen. With the end of school, a mini vacation, and the beginning of summer and our mad attempt at sorting everything for a garage sale this weekend, my menus have been forgotten ... resulting in less time in the kitchen (which I have, surprisingly, enjoyed), more money spent on groceries (boo), and a little more laissez-faire approach to mealtimes (which, for the most part, has been pleasant). But we're back to it this week. More routine is needed. And less money spent is always good. I've even got some wheat berry sprouts and a new sourdough mother starter on my counter again. It's nice to be home :)
