*I took a break of sorts from my weekly menu planning. Sick children, spring break and lack of creativity and wondering what-the-heck-to-eat! - left me without the motivation to keep up. But I'm back and planning on sticking to a menu! (Because it's so much easier than wondering "What are we eating for dinner tonight???")
