Menu Plan 9/3-9/9

I hope everyone had a happy Labor Day! We took the boys to a Cubs game at Wrigley and while they were less than thrilled it was still a fun time and something very different than our usual weekend.

Yesterday we spent our Labor Day morning doing work around the house. Joe finished staining our fence while I organized kids clothes and filled a box of giveaway stuff for charity. After our morning of work we went on a family bike ride and then to the pool and ended the weekend by roasting marshmallows for smores.

I feel like I'm in a menu rut but not willing to spend the time and creative energy to get out. It also usually backfires when I try new and interesting recipes as my little critics are so particular. Joe & I usually like the variety of trying new things but the kids do not.

I'm sticking with some favorites this week in the hope that everyone is happy with dinner.
