Meal Plan Monday Post

It's been a busy week in our household! We have been working feverishly to get one "new" house set up and one "old" house cleaned up! On Saturday we turned in our keys at the old house so now we can focus our energy on making this new house our very own home.

As you might can imagine things were a little up in the air some nights in the kitchen. On Monday night, for the first time, we got out a pan to make a frozen sauce for some pasta. Then realized after dinner we hadn't packed up the dish soap yet. Patrick got a free pass on the dishes that night! We had another freezer meal Tuesday night -- clean up is so easy with those! On Wednesday we had fresh pasta from Rise's new pasta pop ventures as The Rollout. Thursday was another meal in the kitchen and this time no short cuts. On Friday my mom came to help unpack boxes and be an extra set of hands! It sure was nice having her here. Here's our what we did last week and over the weekend with her here!
