April Menu

I have a harder time meal planning in April and May, the weather here is just so unpredictable! When the weather starts to get warmer, I crave light food, salads, fruit, sandwiches, and just can't wait to fire up the grill. I may plan for that, and then it will snow that day - or have planned to make soup, or a lasagna and it will be 80 degrees! So, in spring I often just plan a week at a time, and try to remain more flexible.

Also, this April we left for England on the 3rd, and my Mum was here watching the kids - I wanted to make it a little easier on her, so the menu from the 3rd to the 10th was made up of things that I had pre-made & frozen, or were just really easy to make.
