Kathy left a comment that she misses my weekly menus. I still do them but due to Vince and Chad’s schedules, we’re having a lot of things that can be heated quickly or served on a moment’s notice.
Chad has late class on Monday and Wednesday nights and he doesn’t get home til after 9:30 p.m. I never know if he’s already eaten or if he’s going to hit the door saying “I’m starving!” so I try to fix things that I can heat up real quickly for him on Monday and Wednesday nights.
Tuesday nights Chad and Vince go to wood carving and dinner has to be served and finished so they can walk out the door by 6:15 p.m.
Thursday nights Vince teaches class and has to eat and be gone before 6 p.m.
I doubted anyone would be interested in knowing what we’re having but I will post my menus and if it helps even one of you, that’s a good thing. My best advice is . . plan ahead. Know what you’re having every night for at least the next week and know what you’re going to do with leftovers so there’s no waste.
