Weekly Menu Plan

For whatever reason, my kids have not been eating eggs for breakfast the last few weeks. We’ve ended up with a bunch of eggs that need to be used up. Also, several different friends have generously given us fresh fruit and vegetables from their gardens/orchards (not pictured). We didn’t need to buy as much at the store this week – we’ll be trying to use up an abundance of food in our pantry and fridge!
