August 1-31

Well, back to school is upon us again.  Both Paul and Tim are looking forward to going back and accepting the new challenges which lie ahead for us.  Tim will be teaching all of the AP Lang & Comp classes at his school and Paul will be starting off day 1 with a new group of 3rd graders at his.  Exciting times are ahead for both of us!

I know we promised some more new recipes ... they're coming, I promise.  Just give us time!

We're sticking with the month meal plan; experience has taught us to be a bit flexible when needed for dinners and dining out, but it has truly been a blessing to map out our meals like this.  We've had a summer full of new recipes, so this month we're going to blend some new with some old favorites (and new ones from the past couple months).
