Menu Plan 10/7/2013
Time to start easing into the Fall food! Pumpkins and soups, coming up! It must be Fall, because around here, a lot of leaves got swept up and moved to the chickens’ area this weekend! The chickens are very happy to have some new playthings, but I think the kiddos are going to be vying for their own leaf pile to jump in on the next leaf-sweeping go-round! In the meantime, here’s the general game plan for feeding everyone this week: Monday Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal Black Bean Soup, Chips, Apples and Melons Roast Chicken, Roasted Asparagus and Carrots Tuesday GF Pancakes Pasta and Salads, Grapes and Apples Crock Pot Baked…

Menu Plan 9/9/2013
It’s going to be another busy week around here and I know that I do better when I actually have a plan (of some sort) for what we’ll be eating for the week! All things are subject to change, of course . . . but if you live in the real world, you already knew that. If you’re looking for a menu plan document that works for you, below is the template that I use. You can see it filled out for this upcoming week (the colors are just to remind me of things I need to do, like make something that takes a little preparation or post the recipe…
