I was super happy to write up this plan for August – it is the last month of winter! Man I cannot wait for winter to end this year.
In tweaking our family routines to adjust to me working outside of the home at the moment, the menu plans have been super basic and also incorporates Phil cooking on Mondays as he is home earlier than me that day.
Phil’s repertoire of meals he cooks is pretty small and a couple of them require a lot more prep time than what is ideal on a week night. To work around this he has been cooking meals like chicken lasagne on Sunday evenings.
As this is a bulk meal it also works well for him to take some to work for lunch and a couple of the kids will happily cut themselves a piece and reheat it for breakfast. And it is one less meal I have to worry about cooking – winning all around!
