Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

MPM #22

I have lost my cooking/meal planning mojo. If it were just me, that would be fine, if it were just me and the kids that might even be all right, let's face it, kids can eat the same few things over and over and be fine with it. My hubby though, deserves better. Let's hope I can suck it up and find it soon. :) My challenge for this week is creating meal plans that sound good (so I'll actually make them when the time comes), are quick and easy to make and clean up (so if we're getting home from the pool or an activity right at dinner time, dinner still happens), and meals that are relatively cheap. Aye! No wonder I'm overwhelmed.

Friday: Southwestern Brown Rice and Black Bean Burgers, fruit
Saturday lunch: Burgers
Saturday dinner (Rebekah's last sax concert): Sweet & Sour Orange Grilled Chicken Wings, rice, pea pods
Sunday lunch: French Toast
Sunday dinner: Grilled Chicken halves, red potatoes, Noble Pig's panzanella
Monday: Beachcomber's Casserole, salad
Tuesday (Julianna dress rehearsal): Grilled Chicken Salads
Wednesday: Lemon Fusili w/Basil Pesto Shrimp, grilled asparagus
Thursday: Grilled Chicken & Pineapple Quesadillas
Friday: Grilled Pizza

Do you know how long it takes to create a meal plan when you're really just not in the mood???

Have a great week! I'm off to work on whittling down my 76 things. Check out more meal plans at Organizing Junkies.

What time is dinner?

I'm totally with you. I need to pull out my Robin Miller and do meals that "morph" or something like that. It's hard to get everything together, I find, especially as we're already roasting in 80+ weather with humidity! Ugh. No real interest in cooking, I'm afraid. But the crockpot stuff has worked well for me...so has ham. Hope that helps...happy summer!
