If your kids are still home, don’t forget to plan breakfast, second breakfast, etc. I’m over summer food and not ready for fall comfort food. Also over cooking and these kids devouring it all at lightning speed.

We just got our power back after tornados came through my area on Tuesday. We lost all of our fridge/freezer food. Thankfully I could still grill so we did a lot of food that way last week.
My plan so far is: Sunday: tomato basil mozzarella flatbreads, cantaloupe Monday: chicken and steak kebobs with peppers, zucchini from my garden over rice Tuesday: chicken and steak salads, fruit Wednesday: grilled cheese on fresh sourdough, homemade tomato soup Thursday: spaghetti and meatballs, salad
I’ve got to can pickles from my garden cucumbers this week. I also scored some seconds peaches when I went to the farmers market today so I’ll can some peach jam and restock our smoothie pops with them.
DH gets paid on Friday so I can shop again and hopefully get us restocked again. So thankful I had minimal damage!

I'm baking this week: lemon blueberry corn bread, triple chocolate zucchini muffins, and some kind of chocolate chip cookie. I think today will be corn bread, and the muffins & cookies will happen tomorrow. I apparently also was really into potatoes this week, since we're eating them every single day in some form.
Anyway, rest of the week: SATURDAY: date night (we went for Thai and it was delicious) SUNDAY: ended up with pizza since we had an unplanned plumbing emergency at MIL's. MONDAY: coney dogs & tater tots TUESDAY: fried green tomato BLTs with lemon dill mayo, crispy lemon-feta roasted ptoatoes WEDNESDAY: chicken tender wraps (with homemade raising canes sauce), fries THURSDAY: ST filipino pork skewers, roasted potatoes, COTC FRIDAY: fish sandwiches, coleslaw, fries

They don't go back until the 21st. My soul is a dried out husk at this point.
Today: Left overs, we have ravioli, stuffed peppers, chicken stew in the fridge and it all needs to be eaten. DS has guitar, so it's our clean out night now. Tuesday: white people tacos, salad Wednesday: pumpkin sage barley "risotto" from the Goodful cookbook, with grilled marinated chicken breasts, green beans Thursday: Ina's chicken and orzo, broccoli, bread machine honey oat rolls Friday: "Bad day carbonara" from the Goodful cookbook, garlic bread, salad

I’m excited to have my quiet house back while I work. I know that I often get told to enjoy that dd wants to talk to me so much at 13 but she talks so much! I’m sad to go back to early mornings and pick ups and homework

No bus for us 😭😭 Next year she will go to school with my little sister who will have a car so I’ll only have to do drop off and I cannot wait! Win win my sister will make some money (we will pay her despite my step father saying no) and I don’t have to work meetings around it.
