Oh the joy of knowing what we’re going to eat everyday! Menu planning is so loaded with goodness..save a lot of $$, less stress in the evening and home cooked food..what’s not to love? I like to make “menu plan themes,” makes it more interesting..for me! This week’s theme is ‘Rapid Recipes.’ I call the hours between 4 pm until bedtime the ‘witching hour.’ Everything seems to happen at once in record speed and getting dinner on the table as fast as possible helps to keep things from going haywire! The menu this week all take 30 minutes or less from prep to table! Enjoy!
