Menu Monday

I just can't get the hang of this Menu Monday thing. Our schedule is so different from week to week. I think that's my problem. Another thing I have going against me is the way my family eats. (Sounds strange, I know.)

We've gotten (a little bit) better at sitting down together as a family, but we're still not where I would like us to be. Maybe that would have been a good goal for Lent... Tim eats his bigger meal for lunch and usually has soup or salad for dinner. Mallory and Isaiah sometimes eat what I eat, but not if they eat before I get home from work. (Oh, how I cannot wait for summer vacation.)

I hope you don't think I'm complaining. I'm just frustrated. I suppose I should tackle this problem like any other - with baby steps. Now I just need to figure out what that first step we need to take is.

I don't have a menu planned out for the week, but I can tell you that I'm going to have corned beef on rye for lunch and Sausage-Zucchini Soup with garlic bread for dinner at the beginning of the week. Once the soup is gone, I'm not quite sure what the plan is. If only I could predict into the future when we will run out of soup.

Why is this so difficult?!?! Ugh.

My take on this...just go with the flow. You're right, summer vacation will take care of it for you, but for now don't be so hard on yourself. Enjoy your family time, even if you don't happen to have a set menu.

BTW....I like the new template you are using.
