Back To Schoolhouse | This Week's Menu


Back to School!

This morn Emma started her final twelvemonth of Preschool.  She's inward a course of teaching amongst seven quondam friends, 2 novel friends in addition to an enthusiastic teacher.  They are the big kids at schoolhouse - in addition to she couldn't move to a greater extent than thrilled.  There was non every bit much of that shyness or timidness that accompanied her inward years past.  She loves her school, she loves her friends in addition to she is pumped.

Each twelvemonth I write this post, of going dorsum to schoolhouse in addition to each twelvemonth it feels virtually the same, a petty bittersweet.  After ii months of 100 score weather, nosotros woke upwards to a crisp 65 score morn in addition to it actually did experience similar it is fourth dimension for the schoolhouse twelvemonth to begin.

I experience a chip similar nosotros earned schoolhouse this year, though, nosotros are ready.  We did summertime right.  We were at the pool, nosotros took long morn walks, nosotros played inward the yard, nosotros had lazy days in addition to nights (and dinners)... in addition to nosotros are getting a petty stir crazy some hither ; )


 This is her final twelvemonth earlier Kindergarten.  Her final twelvemonth earlier mandatory v days a week, seven hours a day.  In years past, she went 3-4 days a calendar week in addition to I picked her upwards at 2:30.  This twelvemonth it is iv days in addition to I'm picking her upwards at noon.  Instead of having luncheon amongst her friends in addition to napping, we'll stimulate got luncheon together in addition to to a greater extent than downward fourth dimension at home.  I'm merely savoring this final twelvemonth of fourth dimension nosotros stimulate got together at abode earlier it is gone... in addition to she's thrilled to non stimulate got to accept a nap, of course.  It agency that I'll stimulate got to larn upwards in addition to produce some run early on inward the morning, in addition to belike a petty to a greater extent than at night, but I'm hoping I tin dismiss however cash inward one's chips along the boat afloat spell stealing all the fourth dimension amongst her I can.


As ever some this fourth dimension of year, I'm looking frontward to getting dorsum into routine.  I'm ready to develop again... we've been pretty lazy inward the kitchen this summer.  The Weekly Menu Planning is dorsum amongst the help of the Dinner Planning Tablet.  I'm going to seat a novel focus on Family Dinners hither on the blog.  It is something that nosotros ever focus on inward our home, in addition to I'm going to verbalize to a greater extent than virtually it hither in addition to how nosotros larn inward hap - I know it tin dismiss move hard.

I already stimulate got some posts planned for this calendar week that I'm hoping volition larn y'all all inspired to gear upwards for a novel flavour of Family Dinners, too, no affair what that powerfulness await similar for you.  Last night, my parents sent out a photograph of the dinner they had laid for themselves (for 2) past times the pool.  They could stimulate got laid it at the isle amongst the TV on, but they didn't.  It was a beautiful nighttime in addition to they made the attempt to larn inward special.  That's identify unit of measurement dinner.  A petty effort.  It looks a petty dissimilar for everyone (as it should), but it should experience the same - making an attempt in addition to a priority to pass character fourth dimension amongst each other on a daily basis.

Our Menu for the Week :

Spaghetti & Meatballs

Over the weekend, nosotros cleaned out my parents' over-abundant Lycopersicon esculentum crop in addition to I made a huge batch of Garden Tomato Sauce - a source for me.  (In other news, nosotros merely similar a shot harvested our source Lycopersicon esculentum from our garden...)  I'll portion the recipe soon.  So, then good.  I also made thirty meatballs (easier to brand than y'all think...) + I used some of the meatball mixture to brand ii meatloafs that nosotros volition stimulate got afterwards inward the week.  The extra sauce in addition to the meatballs volition become into the freezer for tardily meals later.







Apricot Glazed Salmon & Couscous

I'm going to attempt swapping the Chicken for Salmon tonight.  I've grilled in addition to baked the chicken inward the past times (and similar both), but I'll belike bake the salmon amongst the apricot sauce to cash inward one's chips along it from burning also much on the grill.  I'll allow y'all know how it turns out.  And if y'all haven't tried the couscous, y'all must.  I'll stimulate got it leftover for luncheon all calendar week long.















Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes

As mentioned above, I used the same mixture from the meatball recipe to cast the meatloaf.  You could exercise the exact recipe for the meatloaf if y'all similar (it is delicious), but it is easier for me (and unopen enough) to exercise the same for both.  For this dinner, I'll reheat the meatloaf, brand mashed potatoes, roast carrots (instead of light-green beans) in addition to brand the rattling yummy roasted garlic sauce (that is a purpose of the master copy meatloaf recipe).

Classic Mashed Potatoes
Roasted Colorful Carrots

Lemon Thyme Chicken

I'm non certain if I'll grill or bake these, but it is a weekly staples some hither amongst sliced tomatoes, in addition to a light-green veggie.

And if y'all desire to know what I await similar after I've rolled out of bed in addition to taken Mr. Darcy on an lx minutes walk.  This.  This is what I await similar most days.   Now, don't y'all experience ameliorate virtually yourself?  You're welcome.  ; )
