Hey – look at that! It’s a menu planning post!
Our summer was a bit hectic and I will admit that menu planning took a back seat. But with school starting up again next week, I’m trying to reestablish some good kitchen routines.
Like having the kids clean up at night. And menu planning.
Here’s what we will be eating this week!

Shabbat leftovers
Four out of five us are also doing a modified Whole30 – modified because we’ve decided to take a slight step-back during Shabbat during this round. Step back doesn’t mean we plan to go totally crazy with the sugar and grains, but rather to allow for some kiddush and challah without stressing. You will notice that my Shabbat lunch plan this week has both Whole30 and not-Whole30 approved foods – we’re having guests, so I’m doing a combination.
What are you eating this week?
