Monthly Menu June 2020


My how life has changed, especially since I've last posted monthly menus. My husband and I now live in Georgia, our kids are grown and for the most part out of the house (one married, one living in another state and working full time, and the youngest going to school full time and working out of state). We are loving the weather and the good food and produce (especially the peaches!) here in Georgia, but we miss our families. And, we are in the middle of the Coronavirus outbreak, which means a lot of cooking homemade meals. We still get food to go once or twice a week (you will see Chick Fil-A a lot, lol), but that still leaves a lot of meals to prepare for the two of us.

Two new additions to my kitchen are an electric griddle (we had one but got rid of it when we moved because we were not using it, regretted it and bought another) for our new Sunday morning breakfast tradition of blueberry pancakes, and an electric knife sharpener which has CHANGED MY LIFE! New additions since moving to Georgia: a cast iron skillet (got rid of all teflon coated pans) and a gas stove (the best thing ever!). We have natural gas here and I love it!

I may include the detail of our take out meals so that I can see what I'm eating on a weekly basis.
