You might be thinking, "Fall? Winter? Isn't it the middle of May? We are eagerly waiting for Summer to arrive!"
Here in Madagascar the weather is turning cooler, relatively speaking of course. Considering our lows are about the same as the west coast of BC's highs---12 degrees.
Anyways, I have been "flying by the seat of my pants" for long enough now. Anybody who has read my blog long enough knows that I am an avid meal planner, and as of late, like the past 3 months I haven't really planned any meals. Nap time rolls around and I'm frantically trying to figure out what we will be having for dinner that evening! No More.
The following is my meal plan for the next four weeks, and I will likely repeat it until I decide to come up with something different. I only ever plan for dinners (or the main meal of the day). Our breakfasts are pretty simple around here: either toast or oatmeal with chocolate milk, (I start my mornings with coffee). Lunches are also fairly simple, peanut butter sandwiches with either jam or banana, or leftovers, or rice.

You may have noticed we eat a lot of rice around here. The children prefer it over potatoes, and quite frankly, it's super easy to prepare and goes with anything. Each Friday we either order pizza or make it. (Since moving to Madagascar we've opted to order pizza because it's almost cheaper than making our own, however every now and then we still like making it, because there's nothing like a homemade crust!) Sundays are very simple. I try and have a soup ready in the crock pot for our lunch after church, and then we enjoy snack foods and something lighter for dinner.
