Menu Plan for Week of 3/28/16

One of these years I'll be able to consistently get my menu plan done on Monday, but for now I'm just going to be grateful that I have enough neurons firing to do it at all.  I'm still battling a lingering cough from that cold (Man, deja vu, as it seemed like I was having this much the same problem last year about this time.  Blah!) and I'm dealing with lack of sleep due to my daughter's stomach condition cycling something fierce this last week going between out and out migraines and the cyclical vomiting hitting her stomach.  She's making it through school, but is needing Zophran every four hours to function right now and it's not leading to a good quality of sleep for mom as I'm worried about her.  And of course then my son doesn't sleep on top of it, so mom is spending most of her time while the kids are at school crashing on the couch, or better yet in her bed, and sleeping most of the day away to recover even a minute amount of energy.

As a result my house could definitely be in better shape this week and trying to think of things to cook was making my head hurt.  I think I finally worked out a menu plan for the week though, which is good because I need all the help I can get right now to keep me focused.  Here's hoping things improve with the kiddos sometime soon.

I'm using up a few small packages of hamburger from the freezer that are older this week, which is a wonderful change of pace for us as beef is definitely the least used meat around here right now.
