Meal Plans Week of 10-13-13

Good morning.  It looks like this week fall might actually show up.  We've had such amazing weather in the 70's lately.  It's hard to believe it's actually October.  I wouldn't mind if it stayed that way for another month.

Last week I took it pretty easy.  My body really needed some rest.  And it felt great.  My body temperature stabilized.  My legs didn't hurt.  I was even able to exercise a bit more (although I'm quite sore today!).  I hope this week doesn't get too crazy.  But it's already starting with a little guy up an hour and a half early and some other stressful stuff.

F is for Fish.

I'm not sure yet about all of us going to church.  My little guy has had a cold, so I'll have to decide if he's healthy enough for the nursery or not.  I have my second chiropractic visit this week.  And I can't wait!!  I'll get the full work up with x-rays to really see what's going on with my spine/scoliosis.  And then we can figure out a treatment plan.  We also have parent teacher conferences and a celebration for my parents' 40th anniversary.

Since I didn't do much last week I have quite a bit to get done in the kitchen.  I roasted squash yesterday and froze some.  But I might do more this week since we got a bunch at the orchard yesterday.  I also got pumpkins to cook/freeze.  I might start canning applesauce this week.  I would like to cook some dry beans.  I realized yesterday that we are out of regular bread.  So I either have to go to the store or make some.  I need to make a new batch of gluten free bars.  And I have a lot of ripe pears that need to be used up.  I'm thinking some kind of of bread or dessert.

I need a lot of quick prep meals this week.  So it'll be a simple menu.  I hope I can keep up this week and that my body continues to show a positive reaction to adding exercise to my routine.  Enjoy your week.  Eet smakelijk!
