Week 3

I am getting ready for week three and really pumped about how well this whole 9 Week Menu plan is working out. This weekend we bought the ingredients to make Reuben sandwiches at home for lunch Saturday and dinner Sunday. My sister-in-law, Lauren, is coming to visit today, and we are driving out to Greensboro for the Casting Crowns concert tonight. Tomorrow, we have a really cool day at church because Forrest and I are being baptized! So we have an exciting weekend ahead. As far as updates go, we also heard from the bank this week on the house, and they have accepted our offer, so we are officially under contract! We still have to go through the inspections process, and several other steps before the house is ours, but we are excited to have finally heard from the bank!

This week the menu calls for eating out on Friday, but between our anniversary dinner last week and eating out this weekend, we will probably have Big Ole Burritos since we didn't eat them last Monday. This menu is very flexible, but does provide a great structure for how our meals will go. Here is the printable checklist for this week:

  1. Congratulations on your baptism!

    As for the reubens, if you have vegetarian friends coming over for dinner try making them with strips of veggie bacon instead of pastrami. (Omit the cheese and thousand island too for vegans).

  2. Thanks, Anne! It is always good to know a vegetarian and vegan option! We try to do vegetarian at least 2 nights a week, but we haven't really done any research about it. Thanks for sharing!
