Meal Plan Oct 19
Oct 19, 2026
This week the kids will be with their dad for the long weekend, so it slightly changes how I plan for dinners and snacks. I checked the weather, and summer hasn’t quite left us yet. We’ve got a few warm sunny days this week followed up by a delightful rainy weekend. Note to self: Tuesday is the perfect dry sort of day to finish up some fall yard work to make everything ready for winter.
This week’s meals include some baked breakfast, easy lunches, and dinners that feel straightforward and familiar.
Mustgo bread pudding is a way to use up some fondue cheeses and dipping items from last weeks birthday celebrations. Its a basic savory bread pudding that changes every time I make it.
