In our house, this is an Easter tradition. I think they taste best after 7-10 days of marinating in the fridge so I try to make them well in advance and I try to make extra with the hopes that a few will actually make it to Easter dinner. (If anyone spots the jar then the eggs seem to start disappearing rather rapidly.) Continue reading “Pickled Eggs”
This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.
I have started trying to do easier meals on days that I have square dancing obligations. This helps me to be able to put a nice meal on the table without feeling guilty about having some much needed ‘Mommy Time’. Some of these meals may also help with those that have busy or irregular schedules due to work or extracurricular activities.
I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.
