Weekly Menu, 4/24

Wow, I almost didn't make it! It's been a rough few weeks with illness around here, which has kept me from getting much of anything done. My dishes and laundry are almost caught up though, so there's that. My daughter was hit last week. I thought she was on the mend, and then she crashed again at the end of the week. My son also crashed at the end of the week and is still struggling to get healthy. It's made it a little challenging to stick to the menu, although I'm doing better than I thought with some small adjustments along the way.

The Chicken Lazone we tried last week was a bust. The chicken was too salty, the sauce too thin and bland. Maybe if I liked it overall, I'd try to improve my technique on it, but it's not worth it for us. My family gave me the thumbs down so we're moving on.

This week I want to try a Mongolian beef recipe from Favorite Family Recipes. I love chinese food and have become increasingly disappointed with take-out. I hope this recipe works out. Otherwise I'm sticking to the basics so I can focus on getting everyone healthy and happy.
