My brain is still on vacation so I’m not in the right frame of mind to meal plan at all. However, we need to eat, so I need to plan whether I feel like it or not. I did make a deal with myself that I only had to plan through Tuesday for tomorrow’s shopping trip, so the rest of the meals will be added later. When I’m no longer in vacation mode.
I’ll be making the first two meals in the new slow cooker that my parents gifted me for Christmas. I’m excited to get to use it and I think it will work well for both these (recipes. We shall see! My old slow cooker finally died so I’m thrilled to have such a nifty replacement for it. I’m looking forward to breaking it in this week.
At some point we’ll be doing Appetizer Day to celebrate New Year’s, but when this actually happens is somewhat dependent on when Brian is able to join us. I do hope to pick out the appetizers I’ll be making over the next few days.
