Weekly Menu Plan for Week of January 6-12, 2019

It seems like I should be sipping hot cocoa, looking out the window at piles of snow.  It is January, right?  Instead, we took a lovely walk today in the sunshine, birds were singing, and I actually see the tips of my daffodils just peeking out of the dirt.  It felt like a beautiful spring day!  I don't know about you, but I'll take it!  If this is the coldest month of the year, I can handle it!  Every day we get above freezing is a good day for me.  And so far so good!

The holidays are officially over, and this coming week is the first week in a long time that I don't feel rushed to get things done.  It's kind of nice, isn't it?  After a few days of unwinding after the holidays, it feels good to get back into a routine and just calm down.

We are feeling the after-effects of too many goodies and rich foods over the holidays.  It is such fun to sample everything, but after a bit we start feeling bogged down and just plain heavy.  So this week I am trying to lighten things up a bit so our old tummies get a bit of a break.  You know what they say about too much of a good thing!  I think we're there.
