Menu Plan Monday
July is HERE!! Along with all of the red, white, and blue, comes the heat and humidity of an Iowa summer. I try to keep our family meals light, with sides of fresh fruits and vegetables. Planning ahead and doing my cooking during the early morning hours saves from heating the house up during the day, and helps to stock the freezer with plenty of meals and snacks to keep us going.
With a week full of field trips, potlucks and fireworks, our family will be on the go most every day. My saving grace is my stocked freezer – so all I have to do is plan ahead, pull out of freezer and gather around the table.
