It is Memorial Day weekend, and boy I was hanging out for this 3 day weekend. We just finished the first day at the beach with friends. The weather is perfect, the boys had so much fun, and I got to spend some time on making hexagons out of a bag of scraps (since my sewing machine is at home….we are only away for two days).

Here is our meal plan for the rest of the week:

DAY BREAKFAST DINNER
Saturday Fruit salad + scrambled egg + english muffin Grilled fish + Grilled Vegetables (BBQ)
Sunday Rhubarb+Apples Compote + Granola+yoghurt Grill meat + Spinach Salad
Monday English Muffin + Banana + Almond Butter Meatball + Spinach Pasta Bake
Tuesday Rhubarb+Apples Compote + Granola+yoghurt Omelet
Wednesday Bircher Muesli zPizza
Thursday Bircher Muesli Mexican Chicken Stack
Friday Berry + Banana + Spirulina Smoothie Sandwiches

Wow, this week was a crazy busy at work. I did not get to work on much at home and I definitely missed some blogging. I really missed doing the finish it Friday this week….isn’t funny how breaking a routine can be so disorientating 🙂
