I've Been Distracted...

The holidays were amazing! And very, very busy. Bear with me as I get things back together. I hope to have a menu up for the week tomorrow. The sooner the better...we had take out tonight and a box of mac n cheese the night before. Eek! Stay posted! I'll be back. Very soon.

Weekly Menu, Nov 14

Ugh, last week was messy. I had to do a lot of last-minute switch up based on what I had on-hand. My poor little girl was sick the first half of the week and it kept me at home. No problem, that's the great thing about having a flexible plan, right? It also helps to keep a well-stocked pantry. Mine is pretty picked over now; time to restock.

I tried my hand at kombucha this week. I friend donated a Scoby and I went for it. It had a week to brew so today I divided it up into my bottles and added juice to each of them. They are now sitting in the cabinet for a second ferment. I like the carbonation created so I'm hoping it all works right. I brewed up some more tea and added the scoby, so I'm hoping it's working it's magic once again. I've never had plain kombucha so I tasted it. I was surprised how good it was. The smell and flavor don't match, which is odd in a fun way. That said, I still really enjoy my juice added to it.

This week is going to be a wild and crazy week. I want to prep all things bread for thanksgiving celebrations. I am going to try freezing and transporting for our holiday celebration. This on top of all our regular craziness should be fantastic!

Weekly Menu, Nov 7

I am super optimistic about this week. It’s time to get things on track. We had a wonderful time visiting with friends, and we’re ready to focus on our next adventure coming up in a couple weeks for Thanksgiving. Until then, we are going to get as much done as possible.

This week, we are trying a chinese noodle recipe from pinterest that I’m super curious about. We are also going to try making our own teriyaki stir fry from our fave teriyaki sauce. You’ll probably notice the sausage penne dinner keeps coming up. I promise we haven’t made it that often (although it is SUPER yummy! I need to get it on here.). It just keeps getting bumped due to various circumstances and I want it so much it keeps reappearing. Other than that we have a lot of classics and past hits.

I need to start thinking about Thanksgiving foods now.  There are a lot of things I can make and freeze, like stuffing and rolls. I want to give that done sooner rather than later so there’s less to worry about. Time to get to work. Have a yummy week.
