menu plan monday ~ september 28, 2009

Last week seemed to fly by. DD had riding lessons. We drove north to visit my mother who was hospitalized following surgery. On the way, we passed the first corn harvesting I’ve seen this fall. And Saturday was apple butter day. The last two kettles were canned at the same time in an effort to […]

School starts this week, so the menu has to take that, and several meetings and lessons, into account. DD and I are going to make Honey Peanut Butter Cookies this afternoon. I think the protein laden cookies will be nice for a quick it’s-the-first-day-of-school-and-we-need-to-hurry breakfast snack, along with some fresh strawberries and bananas. Later in […]
