Weekly Menu, Feb 27

Last week was crazy-wild! I had the girl home for the week and we tried to keep things busy and fun. We tried some new recipes and some new running routes. Then, the boy was home on Thursday and Friday and we looked for even more fun things to do. I was working hard to feel good as I finished with an awesome chest cold I picked up, and the kiddos were quite accommodating with that. They were exploring for critters under rocks, playing mud city in the sandbox, and hunting down the gazillion lego storm troopers we have in the deepest, darkest corners of the house.

Now it’s back to business this week.  We have lots of things happening this week. The boy is Star of the Week in class, which includes a lot of home-prep, and the girl has kinder registration ~how can she possibly be old enough to start kindergarten!!~ We are also starting our first season on baseball with the boy. Let’s see what he thinks of the sport.

I did throw one experiment recipe in there, but it’s a crockpot that I can prep while kids are at school. I’ve been trying to stick to more “clean” eating, so meat with veggies. Minimal sauce/dressing and minimal carb sides. Still fighting the holiday indulgences, ha. I’m sure I’ll find a balance on that in October when we start all over again.

Side note, the meatloaf last week was replaced with steak when I went to the store and found a sale too good to pass up. I will try again this week for the meatloaf. It’s a recipe I really need to get on here. It’s amazing; packed with savory flavor and even some veggies to create a balanced dinner. Yep, I need to get that one on here. Maybe next week it can happen. Until then, have a great, and yummy week!
