We’re aiming to have a restorative and relaxing week after all the traveling and last minute preparations for Jon’s new business venture. There’s nothing quite like gathering everyone around the table for a home cooked meal. Watching my two year old throw peas on the wall while my husband and I play rock-paper-scissors to see who has to do the dishes. It’s a beautiful thing.
Fair warning… I’m just entering into my second trimester of pregnancy and am having a tough time eating. Bagels and cream cheese seem to be the only thing I can keep down in the am so they’re here to stay for a few weeks. I also have aversions to chicken, oatmeal, black beans, and meatballs which makes life a little difficult some days. Let’s just say we’ll have some interesting meals for the next few weeks.
If you love these ideas, feel free to put your email address in the box to the right and I’ll email you our menu plan every friday morning.
