Menu Plan August 30th - September 5th

Wow, it’s Monday again already! I cannot believe how fast August is going by! Mike and I had a very fun, busy weekend, which resulting in very little cooking for me. I had some great meals planned, so I may try and push some of them into this week so we can enjoy them!

This week is fairly laid back for us. We are looking forward to the three-day weekend coming up. We don’t have any plans set in stone, but are hoping to get in some time with our families, friends and maybe a date day just for us!

I plan my meals a month in advance (I know, I’m a bit OCD) however, since we are avoiding foods in the nightshade family this week, I had to make some last minute substitutions, as I LOVE to cook with tomato based products (salsa, tomato sauce, tomatoes, ect!)

Because of our special diet the next week and a half, I have strayed from my normal “theme nights” but that’s okay! Life gets crazy. The theme nights are there to HELP me, not STRESS ME OUT further. Its okay to be flexible with your menu!

If any of our recipes this week are mind blowing, I will be sure to post them! I tried a few recipes this weekend that I don’t love, so unfortunately, they won’t be appearing on the blog. I do want to get my DELICIOUS banana bread recipe up here though! Its to die for, I may just make another loaf this week (if I can find more brown banana’s on sale!)
