Menu Plan Week of 5/10-5/16

I hope that everyone had a great Mother's Day! I know I did. Unfortunately we were unable to visit with my mother--but we will probably this weekend. We went to a state park not too far from here and fed the ducks/geese and just spent time together--which is really all I asked for for Mother's Day.

We hit a major hitch with our planned meal for Friday. I no more than than placed the beans in the crockpot to make refried beans, and the seasoned hamburger meat into the little crockpot to mesh the flavors when a storm rolled through, knocking out our electricity. Little did we know at the time the full extent of said storm--but we ended up without power for almost exactly 24 hours! Thankfully we were completely unharmed and lost nothing more than an outside swing and roughly 4 big trees. There were confirmed tornadoes all around us that destroyed multiple homes, so we are incredibly blessed.
