Weekly Menu

The holidays threw most of our weekly and daily rhythm out the window. Over the last couple weeks I've been trying to find it and in the process I've come to realize that it needs some serious tweaking.

Waking up earlier... As of this week I started waking up early to pack Student's lunch and feed him before school. Waking up early is not easy for me, and waking up early with a smile on my face is near impossible. I've always been an night owl but I hope that waking up earlier will be good for me...

Shopping on Tuesdays... We have recently become the happy recipients of raw milk (from our herdshare) and we pick up our raw milk every Tuesday from a secret location. It sounds illegal! Since we must go out  to pick up our milk I've moved our weekly grocery shop to this day as well. 

Using the crockpot... Since Tuesdays are busy for us I've decided it will also be a crockpot day. I've never been a huge fan of Crockpots but I acknowledge that they are helpful for getting a good nutritious meal on the table when the day is too busy and/or the cook isn't interested in cooking during the-crazies (5-7pm). I think my SIL would be proud of me for this new venture of mine.

And now for our menu this week:

Day 1 - Beef barley soup Crockpot style from the The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook

Day 2 - Pork Lo Mein.

Day 3 - Bean, Chicken and vegetable quesadillas.

Day 4 - Homemade Macaroni and cheese.

Day 5 - Vegetable deep dish pizza.

Day 6 - Clam chowder soup and biscuits.
