Sunday: Ham
Monday: Scalloped Potatoes & Ham
Tuesday: Mexican Enchilada Casserole

Wednesday: Dinner @ church

Currently, I am just planning out the main dish for dinner. As time goes on, I want to begin adding sides. We usually eat left overs for lunches.
I have a lot of soup in the menu as we live in the upper-midwest so this is an extremely COLD time of the year. Soup is great to help feel warm! During the warmer months I'll be able to add more grilled meals.
I am also trying to incorporate some meal time rituals, like Friday night pizza. Hopefully everyone enjoys it!
