A Month of Dinners: Menu Plan for May

In an attempt to make my life a little easier, I'm planning all of our dinners for May at once.

A-Month-of-Dinners-Menu-Plan-for-May-tasteasyougo.com

Let's see... Not much has changed since I posted our menu plan for April.

The non-blogging areas of my life are still taking up most of my time. Caroline took her first solo steps earlier this month (!) and requires a little more supervision than before. When I can carve out time for myself, I'm spending it pitching potential clients.

Even so, I, somehow, still managed to write four new blog posts this month, including this one. And I'm happy with that. Happy because I'm writing when I feel inspired to write rather than when I feel pressured to.

What a difference!

As I did last month, I put together a list of posts that I want to share with you. Here's a sneak preview of what's to come on the blog:

  • a Mother's Day gift guide (or what to buy me for my birthday)
  • a recipe for a dessert I never thought I'd like
  • the update about my mission to find purpose in 2016 (that I thought I was going to share in April)
  • a revised version of one of my favorite pizza recipes
  • a ticket giveaway for a local food event

It sounds a little ambitious, so, before I psyche myself out, here's our menu plan for May. ;-)
