B & B Dreams

Since "Menu Planing Made Easy" came with Crystal's package, I printed 4 weeks of menu forms and am working on filling those out.  I like this whole concept of rotating.  I have two weeks of dinners completed, and still some holes in the other two weeks.  I think perhaps even having two different sets might be a good idea -- because we don't want to eat chili in the heat of July and August, but definitely have it on our Fall/Winter list.  So I'll re-visit these 4 weeks in Spring and see if I want to trade out some "comfort foods" for some lighter fare.

Breakfasts are going to be just routine -- cinnamon rolls every Sunday, cereal every Wednesday, etc.  Lunch will be the same thing.  The kids will have to get used to me not asking, "What do you want for breakfast/lunch?" and just eating what is served.  Of course, there is always a bowl of cereal to fall back on if you don't want toast on Tuesday, but you'll have to help yourself, as I'm not prepping multiple meals! :-)

I made a double batch of tonight's dinner before school started today and had them both in the fridge, one to be put in the oven later and the other, when cooled to go in the freezer.  Instead, I ran into our youth director and passed the second one along to bless her.  This is a joy for me.  I love feeding people.

Still have to go through Sunday's paper and check out the sales.  Perhaps there will be time tomorrow.

Blessings,
