My Weekly Meal Plan

This time of year I struggle to switch gears to "back to school" mode. I'm really glad my kids don't have to go anywhere to go back to school and that we can continue to enjoy the wonderful weather together while slowly turning back to more books and studies even though we never totally put them down. ;)

Pajamarama 2012

I did get a bunch of books and things purchased this past week and the kids are asking when our annual Pajamarama is. (It's a party we have every September to kick off a new school year. We have a big breakfast for dinner in our pajamas and introduce our theme for the year and things we want to focus on and usually watch a really inspiring movie.

Mostly last week though was working on harvest and getting a lot of it preserved. For the next few weeks I see lots of that going on and I'm thrilled because we had way too many empty jars in our food storage room.  Last week I bottled pickled beets and salsa and I'm pretty sure I will do some spaghetti sauce, more pickles and hopefully barley soup.
