Menu Plan Monday - Why I Plan to Eat Out - September 29th - October 3rd, 2014

What an amazing Summer Fall weekend we just had; ours was a busy one.  Jon was busy with Laurier University Homecoming Weekend while our Little One started ballet lessons Saturday morning, throw in there a birthday party and some apple picking and busy we were.

Thanks to my friend Tina for taking this family photo.

 

Sometimes busy just sneaks up on you, when you are not even looking BOOM there it is.  It's 6:30pm and you are finally making it home (late of course) thanks to the traffic jam/late conference call/child meltdown, who knows what really made you late, but you are late, frazzled and hangry (yes that is hungry and angry combined).  Who really wants to make dinner on a day like that?

This is exactly why I ALWAYS give my family "permission" to eat out once a week.  This eat out day is typically planned for Friday because face it that is usually the day you just don't want to cook, but we allow flexibility on this one.  If Tuesday is suddenly a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day then I say eat out and just push your planned dinners ahead a day.

Enjoy this week's meal plan and remember to use your eat out day on any day of the week you might need it.
