themed weeks

Thanks to The Home Teacher, I'm going to theme my week... Hopefully this will eventually make menu planning easier. Although, I've tried many systems in the past, and I've never actually made it to the it-gets-easy stage. I usually stop the system before I get that far... so anyway, here are my categories:

Family Sundays (we always eat dinner at my mom's on Sunday - once my brother gets married next week, we will be parcelling out the different courses though, so mom doesn't get stuck with all of the work. I'll need either a first course or a dessert.

Multicultural Mondays: stir fries, enchiladas, etc.
