Weekly Menu - Week of 5/22 (and update on life)

New to menu planning?

Check out my step-by-step guide to Meal planning!

 

**   I really appreciate all the emails and calls from all of you with your support for my time away.  Life is pretty challenging right now and doesn't appear to be getting "easier" any time soon.  We are all feeling great (a lot exhausted though) -- we feel especially blessed for these trials.  I hope to one day update you all with a real 'peek' inside my private life, but for various reasons I can't disclose much.  Nonetheless, I have an incredible support system with my family (both at home and at church) and friends.  I love you all!!  P.S.  I will be returning calls and emails in waves this week. :)

As for this week's menu, we will hardly be home -- a lot of eating on the run... it's just one of those weeks.  ;)
