Menu Plan Monday: A real Sabbath Sunday

Menu Plan Monday

This Week’s Menu:

Monday: Bagel Tuna Melts

Tuesday: Soup and Scones

Wednesday: Slow Cooker Roast

Thursday: Leftover Buffet

Friday: Slow Cooker Stew

Saturday: Chewy Granola Bars and Banana bread

I’ve discovered that dinners on Wednesday - Friday are not very well prepared because I do not get off work until 5:00 pm. Therefore, I’m going to try to take advantage of my slow cooker on those days. Also, I’d like to start baking every Saturday. Kaylie absolutely loves to bake with me and I like to have something that just she and I can do together.

Today was Sunday. News to you, I know. The last couple Sundays, we’ve been recovering from and/or preparing for house showings. Today we did not have one. I was so relieved. We had four last week, and six this week. I was stoked for the break.

Kaylie went to Grannie and Papa’s house after church, and Liliana went down at 12:15 pm for an almost-3-hour nap. Noah and I thouroughly enjoyed the silence. We sat around and did nothing. It was a truly Sabbath Sunday. A day of absolute rest. So relaxing.

Kaylie came home just after Liliana woke up and the two of them giggled the rest of the afternoon away. I love how well they get along. Love it.

Lunch and dinner did not involve any cooking, so I did not spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen. The most work I’ve done all day has been running up and down the stairs to switch the laundry that hasn’t been done in two weeks because of all the showings. I know I could have done one load every day, but I’d rather just get it all done in one day.

I’d love to have a Sunday like this every week.

    Sounds like a nice Sunday!

    And good looking menu, I think it’s so funny that I usually have one or two things on my menu that is on yours as well. I have my roast in the slow cooker right now. Yum!
