i was told this weekend by my family that they hate coming to my blog to see our menu because it makes them feel inadequate.  i was kind of disappointed to hear that.  i do like to get a little fancy and gourmet, but my goal is to inspire, not condemn.  my hope is to have everyone who visits try one new thing, whether that is a new cheese or a new recipe.  this week is a mix of simple and more complex since it is the first week of school and hockey tryouts.  enjoy!

sunday - gone for a family reunion

monday - cheese enchiladas
salad with mushrooms, tomatoes, celery and pepper jack cheese
peaches (picked from our tree)

menu planning 8/12-8/18

last week's meal plan didn't go that well; we ate out a lot.  that sometimes happens when we get super busy and the meals i plan are too complicated.  i thought i had several simple meals that we like included, but the lure of food made by someone else proved to be too tempting.  i hate when that happens!  this week we have nothing on the calendar so i'm getting a little bit more fancy.  hopefully, we will be able to stick to this week's plan better.

sunday - biscuits and gravy
mashed potato and feta lakte
