Weekly Meal Plan

We've been some busy people! My Mom and Grandmother were visiting for Halloween week and were awesome little elves who made us meals, did our laundry, and washed our dishes.

Come back, please.

Then our super sweet and totally amazing niece decided to surprise us all and show up a few weeks early! Her and her Momma are doing absolutely wonderful and are enjoying being home and it was so nice and considerate of Baby L to be born over a long weekend so we could make the 4+ hour drive to go meet her! My first duty as Aunt: Bring Milkshakes. I could get used to this gig!

Anyway, now we are back home and ready to get back into the swing of real life. Here's how our plan looks this week. Potato and Kale Enchiladas is our new recipe this week that was found and shared in an (awesome) No Meat Athlete Online Running Community that Mr. and I just found (and LOVE!) I'm looking forward to it!
