Weekly Menu, June 12

We are already a month into our summer break and it has been crazy! Every day we have had something going on. It feels as if we are busier now than when kids were in school.  I confess, there are so many wonderful summer activities for kids, it’s hard not to take advantage.  We’ve been going to summer movies, local library workshops, and local shop activities. Not to mention swimming every day; necessary in this heat.

We also finished up baseball just in time to start swim team, and my daughter is trying her hand at gymnastics this summer. All wonderful things, but they all keep us very busy. That’s a lot of stuff to also fit food into.

My menu’s lately have, quite frankly, been boring and uninspiring.  Trying to eat on the run (literally eating sack lunches for dinner on Wednesday night between activities) and cater all the different tastes and eating styles can wear a girl down. We have been talking a lot lately about appreciating the food in front of you for what it is, rather than wishing for some perfect dish. I realize kids taste buds can be more sensitive to bold flavors, but I am trying to reel some of that in a bit.
