Menu plan, Week of May 21-May 27
Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was busy but wonderful. I finally got my daughter back from Florida and I couldn’t be happier. I missed her like crazy! She was gone for two weeks-WAY too long if you ask me.
I also was able to score some grass-fed beef from my sister this weekend. You will see plenty of ground beef/roast type of meals here in the next month as we try to empty out our freezer as much as possible before our big move.
It’s also going pretty boring menu-wise around here. The name of the game these days is easy and fast. Hopefully, once we get to Florida and get settled I can start to incorporate some new recipes in with our old favorites to spice things up a bit. So don’t be too surprised if you see lots of repeats over the next 6 weeks or so.

- Breakfast: Steel-cut oats
