I survived my first week at the new job, working full-time. While I would be fibbing if I said it wasn’t
a major adjustment (waking up at 5 everyday AND eating lunch without my
favorite pooch), it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be. We both had clean clothes to wear all week,
dinner was on the table every night by at least 6:30, and we both had a lunch
of hot leftovers for work the next day.
Mission accomplished. Waking up
at 5 o’clock all week made sleeping in on Saturday impossible, so we headed off
to Publix and the farmer’s market at 7:45 am.
I was able to get a large majority of meal prep for the week done before
lunch time on Saturday. I am hoping for
another smooth week of getting dinner on the table. Below is a list of my menu plan for the week
and you will notice that many items have “(freezer)” listed beside them. These are things that I am pulling from my
freezer, which I either made yesterday or a few weeks ago. I have recently fallen in love with my tiny
freezer and I find it comforting to come home after a long day to find that
dinner is practically done. Many of
these recipes will be coming soon to the blog, but for now here is my menu plan
