Let me tell you what my evening schedule looks like this week. Let's see....first we'll go to a baseball game, then we'll go to another baseball game, and after that we'll go to yet another baseball game. That schedule will repeat itself over and over for the next few months. Except there will be even more baseball squeezed in as spring and summer wear on.
As we endure enjoy this hectic time, my menu plans will lose variety and gain simplicity. I'll cook less and buy more pizza and subs. Saving my sanity will become a priority and a constant struggle. Hopefully this week's meals will fit our schedule and feed my family well.
Here's this week's menu plan:
Breakfasts around our house tend to be a fend-for-yourself affair. I try to keep a wide enough selection of items on hand that the kids can either fix for themselves or can fix with minimal help. Also, since my husband works a job with odd hours, every meal is not a "family meal". When Dad is at work, I try to keep things simple to save time and my sanity (well, whatever sanity I have left by dinner time.). I've marked our "family meals" with an asterisk (*).
