It's been forever since I've posted a menu plan. Thus, the weekly menu has not been what it ought to be. I notice I tend to desire to eat out more when the menu isn't planned, which in turn causes a higher cost in our food budget. That needs to get nipped in the bud!

As our family gears up for school starting in another week, lunch menus have been on my mind. This is the first year that all 3 of my children will be in school, so I'm a little beside myself with planning. We've always homeschooled, and lunches were never really planned out.

Next time I’d cook the chicken, put it to the side, and add it at the very last minute, once the sauce was cooked. Also of note: this dish improved considerably after an overnight in the fridge!
