Okay, folks. I'm behind a bit, so next week's menu isn't updated. Thankfully, I plan out the weekend, so I'm good until Monday (and can reuse whatever is on there, easily).
Also, this week's menu was changed often enough that I have meals I didn't make and plan to use this weekend. In fact, the new recipe I had planned for last night I'm making tonight instead for company. A family that follows ETL is coming and my friend and I are going to make the meal together. So fun!
So, my main focus today is to prep the Continental Breakfast for the week along with some other foods.
Today's Kitchen List:
Baked Oatmeal x2 (Verity 5yo)
Granola Bars x2 (Josh 14yo)
Zucchini Bread x2 (Susannah 7yo)
Oat pancakes x2 (Elizabeth 16yo)
Vegetable broth (Honoree 3yo)
Mushroom Barley soup (Benj 11yo)
Boil northern beans for dinner tonight
Biscuits x2 (Ruth 9yo)
Process 2 heads of kale for freezer
Work on next week's menu and shopping list
You'll notice I have a name next to each food item. That's the helper I'm planning to use. Some, like Elizabeth, I can just assign the recipe and she'll do it on her own. Most, I have a part of the dish they can help with or I just use this as a time to be with them and help them enjoy the kitchen work. I like to rotate helpers so that I don't have more than one or two in the kitchen at the same time. Still working to keep what sanity I have left, folks!
Okay, whew. The list is done. Now the real work begins! Planning to put on some fun music so I can keep my feet tappin' and maybe burn a few calories. So long as I don't burn the food, right?
