We continue with our plan (we've been doing this since the boys were maybe 1 & 2, when we discovered we were eating out a ton) of cooking on Friday-Sunday, and making enough for leftovers during the week. This has gotten more complicated, as it's really unpredictable to know who will be at dinner at any given time. Also, some days the boys don't want heavy meals (before practice, etc). As a result, our freezer is regularly stocked with extra dinner entrees. I'm hoping things become more predictable once school starts back up (Monday).
-I froze leftover burger my husband made, as we have way too much food going into the weekend.
-Used the last of one package of bagels for a teen lunch
-Took the other teen to lunch during what was supposed to be senior portraits, but the studio was closed with no notice. Unimpressed. DS17 & I had a lovely catch up, though, so at least there's that. We brought home leftovers, because of course more food.
-Tonight DS16 claims he'll eat with us ahead of practice, so he'll hopefully wrap up the last of the taco meat, the tortillas & the shredded cheese.
-DH & I will eat the rice & grilled chicken.
That sends us into tomorrow with one piece of salmon, and anything still left by the end of the day. Maybe we don't need to cook tomorrow. We've advised everyone that Sunday is mandatory family dinner, and the night before school starts. Still need to figure out what we're making for that.
I seriously need to get on top of the garden produce this weekend.
-Eat strawberries. Because, yum! And, it's not an overwhelming amount
-Pick last of the herbs
-Pickle all peppers
-Figure out what to do with the tomatoes
