Menu Plan 7/28- 8/2

Once again, my planning continues. I actually did pretty well following my menu last week- the only day that I didn't follow it was on Sunday when Chris surprised me by preparing chicken in his new smoker. (But hey, chicken was on the menu anyway!) This week I'm not using any real recipes- just what I have on hand. Hope it works.

This is Paige and her cousin Megan. How cute is that? It has nothing to do with menus. but I thought it was fun.

Last week I only made three of the 7 meals. We just got busy, spent some time visiting with family, and just enjoying the summer sunshine. We'll see how this week goes! I have noticed the same handful of meals that seem to get pushed back from week to week . . . I think my goal next week is to try some new recipes, since I am obviously bored with some of the ones we have now.
