Meal Plan for the week (4.10)

I usually send this to a few friends each week.... May as well post here too since I fail miserably with typing it out lol ;-)

Meal Plan (and lack thereof)

This week I didn't do one.

We are going on vacation very soon... so instead of making a meal plan I went to Costco with an open mind.  They had some produce on sale so I just bought it.... so until we leave we are just being creative and eating up what we have (I like leaving with an empty fridge!)

Sorry for the lack of a plan....

Any interest in our vacation meal plan?  Now that I have nailed down for weeks haha  ;-)



Hope you're having a great week <3

I use Trader Joe's Honey Greek Yogurt

And I should mention that they don't easily come out of the wrapper when they're fresh out of the oven!  

They're easier after cooling (-:

They stay fresh for about two days (maybe longer?  They're never made it longer in our house... just cover them up!)

Our favorite way to eat them is warmed up with a bit of butter (-:

Our Meal Plan 1.17-1.23
