Menu Plan August 11 - 17

Well, we had a GREAT first week of school last week! The kids have jumped right into every subject with little to no moaning and groaning. Since they're both in junior high now, it's taking us a little more time to get everything done. But they're adjusting to the changes like pros.

Here's our first science experiment on density. This cool exercise using cooking oil, water and corn syrup truly helped explain the concept better than words on a page would have. We loved it!

Now on to the week's menu plan:

Monday
Girls' night out with friends, guys and kids will eat hot dogs

Tuesday
Homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese

Wednesday
Zucchini casserole (new recipe), pretzel bread

Thursday
Honey lime tilapia, oven roasted broccoli

Friday
Pasta with Italian sausage, garlic bread

Saturday
Chicken bacon subs, fries

Sunday
Crockpot beef stew, crusty bread in a cast iron pot
