Did I tell you that my kiddo has two weeks of spring break? Two. Weeks. Well, at least we get to sleep in.
One week takes place in a beautiful tropical location, but the other week takes place at home. For the at-home week, we've got two playdates on the schedule, plus a much-needed haircut for both of us, and color for one. Also on my agenda are fun things like painting our toenails and watching some movies. And some necessary things, like cleaning Carla's craft room. On Carla's agenda: all the TV and video games.
We do also need to eat. What's a good Spring Break menu plan? Taking a break from meal planning and cooking would be nice, but alas, that's not in the cards. Even when we are traveling, our hostess has expressed interest in cooking. I would much rather not think about food beyond picking something off a menu at a restaurant, and I would love to wash nary a dish… but. We'll see.
Okay, so: meal planning, playdates, and Easter. We aren't big Easter celebrants here, and none of us particularly likes ham (except in Lunchable form). But it seems like we should do SOMETHING celebratory, no? Aside from copious amounts of Reese's peanut butter eggs, of course.
Dinners for the Week of March 25-31
- Tacos: Tacos are a great, kid-friendly meal with the benefit of being easy.
- Hamburgers: Carla eats hamburgers and I'm hoping one of her playmates also eats hamburgers. If not, there are always chicken nuggets.
- Pork Loin with Wine and Herb Gravy: This seems fancy enough for a holiday meal. I bet it would pair well with some baby potatoes and asparagus.
- Pizza: I just want pizza. Carla won't eat it, but my husband will.
- Something else????
There. That sounds sufficiently spring-break-y to me. What's on your meal plan for the week?
