I've got my Pot Roast in the Crock Pot, laundry in the wash, and my shoulders are finally feeling relaxed for the first time in a week. What a great way to spend Saturday after one crazy week. I could hardly believe I slept for almost 12 hours after falling asleep on the couch last night at 8:00 p.m. I know, very lame. I think my body was telling me it was time to relax. Now on the to-do list is grocery shopping.
With Halloween just around the corner, I plan on taking it pretty easy with the menu this week. I have a feeling with as amped as the kids were this week over Halloween, Wednesday will be even crazier:) I can't blame them. Not only is Halloween super cool because you get to dress up and get tons of candy, it is also the beginning of the holiday season trilogy. Three of the best holidays in the next three months. But enough about holiday festivities. It's time to talk about the menu.
Sunday, if there are any leftovers from the Pot Roast, I hope to make a school lunch favorite, Tater Tot Casserole. Monday and Tuesday we will be dining on another great satisfying favorite, Broccoli Cheese Penne Mac which I hope to make ahead this weekend. For Halloween and the day after, I will be serving another make ahead meal Chicken Tortilla Soup with a side of yummy Duree Family Cheese Bread. Satisfying meals that I can make ahead and serve throughout the work week. It will be something to look forward to every night of the week. Here is the rundown...
