It’s been at least a year since I’ve meal planned regularly. This year has been so chaotic that we’ve found ourselves eating a lot of fast and frozen foods. This is the first year in many that we didn’t have a garden. We had the land tilled and ready to prep then Dad was diagnosed and we knew we wouldn’t have time between him and Brynlee so we decided against it. I look forward to it next year! Now that Daddy has passed away and Brynlee is doing so well, I find myself ready for a routine again. I have a lot of empty time on my hands that I haven’t had in months. I am craving some sense of normalcy in my life. I’m tired of the chaos and busyness and ready to be intentional with my time now that I have the opportunity. For 10 months, I focused on getting Brynlee healthy, keeping her healthy, and taking care of Dad. It’s time to get back to life and that includes cooking more often.
Since we just spent $500 on groceries, I am definitely going to cook this week! Here’s what’s on the menu:
