I have shared a few ‘what we eat in a week’ videos here on my blog. You all seem to love them for a little practical mealtime inspiration. These videos are few and far between, for obvious reasons. Who wants to bust out a camera during the mealtime rush? Not this lady!

This particular version is a little different, because life is CRAZY right now. We have our house on the market, so at a moment’s notice we find ourselves hiding dishes in the basement and five kids in the van. Oh, and speaking of the van, it basically looks like we moved into it. Our stuff is stashed literally everywhere to make tidying for showings a little quicker and easier.

We ran out of our beloved sauerkraut, which is usually a staple side dish, but guess what I not going to put out on the counter while real estate agents and home buyers are chomping through?! We love the stuff, but the smell may be a bit off-putting.


Alright, well enough with the excuses. This is the real life ‘what we eat in a week’ at the farmhouse!

    Hi Lisa,
    Thank you for sharing more of what types of meals you prepare for your family. The majority of your recipes are quick, easy and family friendly. A plus for busy families
    A HUGE favorite in our family is your zucchini lasagna recipe. Seriously, I make this every other week. The kids love it, hubby says itโ€™s much better than my pasta version and I like that itโ€™s a healthy, budget friendly meal.

    I canโ€™t even begin to fathom what you and your family are dealing with trying to sell your home. However, I know that there is another family out there who would love to make memories in it just like you. They just havenโ€™t found your house yet. Keep the faith, only HE knows when it will happen.
    Best wishes for a happy and safe holiday,
    Annie
