This one is tough. It may get a whole lot easier now that I am no longer co-leader of my mom's group, however, dinner time always seems to float in our house. Our ability to sit down with a warm, home made meal, at a regular time every day just seems to escape us. We know that this will only get harder as the kids get older - especially if we do not work to safeguard it now. So, this year, especially with Mothers and More obligations behind us, nap time will become dinner prep time and we will find our way to consistency. Our weekly menu plan certainly helps:
Sunday: Gourmet for Fun
Monday: Canned (from our garden) tomatoes night - spaghetti, sloppy joes, etc.
Tuesday: Leftovers from the weekend
Wednesday: Soup and sandwhiches - all freshly home made
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Family pizza night
Saturday: Gourmet for Fun

Sara, your weekly menu plan looks like a fantastic idea! I may be borrowing from it. And do you really have 52 weeks' worth of canned tomatoes for Monday dinners??? If so, I'm very jealous. (Especially since all the news came out about BPA in commercially canned products and especially tomatoes. Blech.)
ReplyDelete(Wow, I just saw your post) LOL. Pathetic, but I have at least 40 cans of tomatoes. I really love to can tomatoes! To be fair, I also have canned "ketchup" that I use as a base for sloppy joes or chili. We are tomato crazy here.
