Though I haven't developed this idea to that level just yet, I realized that I could find a simple way to share the weekly planning that goes on in our house. Given that we're all currently self-isolating and cooking 3 meals a day, 7 days a week (on repeat), getting this page going now just felt timely.
Hopefully the ideas and menus below will inspire some exciting new dishes in your kitchen.
