Menu Plan Week of 10/5
Wow. What a week. Somehow hubby managed to follow most of the meal plan from last week, even though I ended up driving home to my parents in a flurry on Wednesday after finding out that my mother's biopsy revealed lymphoma. The mass they removed was a lot larger than expected. Please keep her in your prayers as this week we start getting more info on the stage, type and treatment she will need to follow.
This week definitely reflects the weather change here...starting to do more comfort foods. (Maybe that's also because I need the comfort? Hmmm.)
