Meal Plan ~ Week of June 8th

 I feel like I have been in a food rut lately - not sure why, we've had a fair amount of new dishes gracing my kitchen stove, oven, and sink lately but maybe I just feel disorganized about it. If something comes together, it's spur of the moment, and I'm swinging by the grocery store on the way home for that ingredient or two I don't already have. I want to be more cohesive and organized in the kitchen again!

I also have some "goals", I suppose, in the kitchen that I want to work on - at least one new side dish, one new crock pot recipe and one new soup and / or salad recipe each week. I want to branch out a little in each of those areas, and get a little more creative especially in the side dish and salad category. I'm hoping in another few months I'll have enough salad recipes I can justify creating a "salad" index. I love salads for meals but my family typically doesn't but we're going to work on that! :)
