Menu Plan Monday: Week of April 13, 2015

A good start to the week, link love from last week, and this week’s Menu Plan Monday!

It’s a happy start to the week in my house! Passover ended Saturday night and we celebrated with a delicious pasta-filled Italian dinner with friends. Yesterday was the first really nice spring day and we spent it outside with the kids walking along wooded trails in a conservancy along the Long Island Sound in Rye and playing with friends at the playground. Last night Sabrina finally stayed in her bed the whole night for the first time in about three weeks, which meant mommy got a good night’s sleep! And last but not least, the kids are back at school and to their regular routine! Hooray!

I hope you’re week is off to a good start as well. If you have some time, check out some of these fabulous posts and recipes I came across last week. Then get some dinner inspiration with my weekly menu plan below!
