This week promises warm temps and more than one thunderstorm. I am hoping that this is, once again, one of those weeks when it’s tough to forecast the KC climate. That’s to say, I hope they’re wrong. ‘Cause I’ve got a mess of meals that I want to grill instead of being cooped up in the kitchen. Thankfully, I have an adventurous husband who has braved freezing temps and pouring rain to “cook out” as they say in these here parts. Maybe we’ll move the BBQ to the garage for the week. (No, we don’t BBQ in a closed room, but the front of the house is sheltered better than the back.)
Anyway, ya gotta have a plan, even if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Here’s mine.
Breakfasts:
- blueberry scones *
- blueberry coffeecake *
- eggs, hashbrowns, and toast
- cereal
- banana muffins and smoothies *
- waffles
- pancakes
Lunches

Dinners
