August 2014

Summer is officially over, school has begun, and many things have happened since we last posted our Monthly Meal Planner. For starters, in July we traveled to Washington DC and got MARRIED. It was a beautiful ceremony full of family, friends, and happiness, and we could not have asked for anything more.

However, being gone for more than ten days (and Tim a bit longer because he traveled directly to Philadelphia for the National AP Conference) really made July's Monthly Menu Planner null-and-void. So, we'll pick up here in August with our "Back-to-School" meals. Most of these meals are ones that we have made and know are pretty stress free, but there is the occasional "try-for-the-first-time" recipe thrown in there. Let us know if you want one of the recipes and we'll get it up here on the blog.

Happy August!
