And, finally, everyone is back home.  At least for this week.  We have no idea what next week will bring!  

As we approach winter, our vegetables have turned heartier.  This means that there isn’t quite as significant of a need to use everything right away.  If I don’t get to a winter squash this week, it will keep until next and many weeks to follow!  It’s nice not to feel quite so pressured to use everything all at once.  Meals 1, 2, and 4 will all use vegetables from the market.  

Meals 2 and 5 are easy meals to prepare because they’ll be eaten after Aikido and choir.  Then I’ll be going with another slow cooker meal for Saturday since that worked out very well this Saturday and I know I’ll have lots of cooking to do to get ready for the next Game Day.
