Bloggers’ Favorites: a Mom Favorites Meal Plan

Take out Chinese.  Burritos. Chick-fil-A.  Some old strawberries.  Water straight from the faucet.  Yep, that’s pretty much been my “diet” these last few days.  Should’ve remembered to leave a few cups in the house for moving day.  Oops.

Needless to say, I’m still not back into a cooking routine.  Hopefully, by next week, we’ll be settled into the new house and back in the kitchen.  Until then, I’m afraid things will be much the same for the Harding clan.

But, not for you!  I’ve got some more GREAT recipes from my blogger pals!  They’ve proffered their best meals to share with y’all.  I’ve put them together in menu-ready format so you’ll have some great family meals this week.  Hope you enjoy, and let us know what you think!
