Menu Plan 8/27-9/2

School starts this week and this mama is extremely ready for more structure in our days. My older two boys are in 5th and 2nd grade this year and my little one is in morning preschool. I'm already planning a lot of decluttering projects to get my house back in shape after the chaos of the having 3 boys home all summer long.

For our last weekend before school started we went to Homestead Orchard and picked some Gala apples and then to Heider's Berry Farm in Woodstock for raspberries. I've got a lot of apples to use up so I'll have an afternoon freezer session making my Super apple crisp and some applesauce. I don't have any raspberries to use up as our family ate all six pints we picked in just two days. Yes, we are CRAZY about raspberries. I just wish our own backyard canes would produce more.
