Breakfast: Oats, granola and yogurt No pancakes or waffles this morning. I often make them on Sundays because we don't have church until 11 and I actually have time to cook breakfast. However, Jenny fell out of the new bunk bed that we bought her yesterday and woke us up early. She is fine but we've installed an extra railing thing now so hopefully that won't happen again. We eventually went back to sleep and slept in later than normal. Lunch: Fix your own. I had leftover mashed potatoes with salad and BBQ sauce on top. The kids did their own thing and the little boys had sandwiches. Dinner: Buckwheat and Sweet Mesquite Chicken Bits sides: Garlic Biscuits (made entirely by Benjamin) and Green Salad (with more green beans and zucchini) I often don't feel like making anything Sunday for dinner and whip up something really really easy. I like to follow the day of rest thing for religious and worship purposes and also for renewal. I cook for my family because I love them and I'm learning to enjoy it..but I'm human and definitely get burnt out with the kitchen scene day after day. I try to make it mentally manageable by not doing too much every single day and only making bigger or more complicated things when I'm in the mood and it will be a pleasure and not a chore.
