I planned my menu weeks ago knowing that I would work in the office Monday-Wednesday this week and wouldn't have loads of time to work ahead. I'm taking Ina Garten's approach and not making everything from scratch!

Menu Monday
"I bet you already know what you're having for supper tonight." Someone said that to me one afternoon last week. I replied that I did have a meal planned - not necessarily because I was super organized but because I'm really hungry when I get home from work! 🙂
The Best Pie Crust For People Who Don’t Like Making Pie Crust
I am not great with pie crusts -that's why I'm sharing this recipe with you! I've mentioned this pie crust lots of times before, but I felt like I needed to highlight it as we go into the holidays.
