Comforting Soups and Sandwiches No time for a long diatribe about the week ahead, it was homecoming weekend and our house looks like a train wreck! Laundry needs to be wrangled into the laundry room, flowers put in vases, and dresses hung up. Everyone is tired, yet they still have reading and homework, college apps…

Let’s Cook! With a Weekly Meal Plan. Last week I operated without a weekly meal plan, and I don’t recommend it. We were working with a refrigerator full of cooking class and Easter weekend leftovers, so I wanted to use up what we had. But I didn’t have a plan in place for how to…
