It’s another rainy week around where we live. I’ve been falling back on some good-old comfort food for this week’s menu – mini meatloaves, homemade quick bread, and I’m finally giving in to my pregnancy craving of cinnamon rolls! This week has felt a little haphazard when it comes to menu planning – I struggled a bit with getting my dinner ideas down. But each week, our CSA brings us different things and it’s been great to keep me on my toes in the kitchen!
My menu planning tip this week is more for me than for you. Sometimes I need to take my own advice and stay as organized as I like to think I am. This is my reminder to start creating a huge list of go-to meals, so when weeks like this one come up – where I have very little inspiration to cook, that it’s not so difficult for me to plan and prep.
