We’re officially back to school and there’s now only 6 weeks of classes standing between us and graduation! I just realized that last week was our last school break EVER. So insane. I’ve been a student forever, I can’t believe this whole thing is coming to a close so soon. I’m ready for the “real” world, but not so ready to say goodbye to a regular spring, winter, fall, and summer break. I love breaks! Oh well.

Spring break had us all thrown off, but it’s time to get back to meal planning at home.

So here’s the plan.

Monday: Barefoot Contessa’s szechuan noodles

Good stuff! The sauce was very flavorful but next time I’ll definitely sauté the garlic inside beforehand. Raw garlic is just never never a good idea. It can mayyyyybe be passable in very small quantities (like for a salad dressing) but otherwise it’s just really not a wise idea. Good thing I already kissed my husband today because the dragon breath we’re experiencing from that sauce is no joke.

(Forgive the amount of iPhone photos I’ve been posting lately…I need to get back together with my big girl camera and we all know it…)

Tuesday: chili and rice

A standby in our house! We eat chili at least a couple times a month. I bought some faux ground beef for my portion of it so we’ll see how that goes.

Wednesday: working the night shift so I’ll pack leftovers with me

Thursday: tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches

Friday: enchiladas (I’ll be posting the recipe)

Saturday: BFD (not the Joe Biden kind, the “breakfast for dinner” kind 😉 )

Me and my dragon breath are going to go watch tv before bed.

Thanks for reading!
