Weekly Menu Plan January 28-February 3, 2024

 

It's almost that time again - Groundhog Day this week!  I hope he comes out and stays out, because I think we're all ready for some signs of spring.  Just a little glimmer of hope.  That's all I need.  It has been a cold rain here for maybe years, I don't know anymore, it's just gray and damp and chilly and yukky.  Maybe I moved to London and someone forgot to tell me.  But I'm ready for February!  So long, January!  See ya!

I had a busy week last week, how about you?  I have lots to do this week, too, and I'm trying to catch up with my house cleaning.  I think we have almost all the Christmas stuff put away, but I still need to bring out some Valentine's Day decorations.  Just a couple, nothing like Christmas.  After packing up Christmas this year, I told my husband I'm ready to give it all away and just put a fireplace screensaver on the TV and call it a day.  He just laughed.  But really, it sounds good right now.  I love getting it all out, but what on earth happens when you put it all away??  I can't find the same boxes, nothing fits in the boxes I think they came out of, and why do we have 27 snowmen??  And do we really need Christmas stuff in the BATHROOM???  Every room I go in, there's more stuff.  It's like hunting for Easter eggs!  Where did I put that Christmas candy jar?  And the 78 candle holders that are everywhere, even though I don't put any candles in them.  Really, do I need a Santa cookie jar that has never held a cookie in its life?  It seems like, at some point in my life, I lost total control.  I need a Christmas rehab facility.

But I digress.  Here I am, planning another week of breakfasts and dinners, at the END of January already!  One month into 2024 and I feel like I need to be more productive!   Where did this month go already?  It seemed long at the time, but hindsight....it flew by!

So here it is - this week's menu plan!  I did my grocery shopping for this week already, so all I have to do is start cooking!  Here's what's on the menu for the week:
