Menu for September 13-20, 2019

So on Mondays and Wednesdays the kids have dance and karate.  They both start at different times, but they both end at 8:00.  After last week I realized that I need two meals that I already cooked and can just be heated up on those days.  That way everyone can eat at whatever time is convenient for them and not wait for me to cook.  Hopefully that will help with some of the crazy on those days.
