I was pretty disappointed when I heard the Wisconsin State Fair was canceled this year because of COVID. How was I going to get my giant cream puffs? After a completely botched attempt following someone else’s recipe, I decided to create my own (regular-sized) cream puffs. I feel this cream puff recipe is easy to follow plus super tasty! It’s a hardy pastry shell that can handle heavier fillings. I filled them with a basic whipped cream this time but I can’t wait to try pastry cream, lemon curd, etc. I’ll definitely want to cover them in chocolate at some point too – the possibilities are endless.

With nice weather finally arriving I can’t wait to grill out more. The Greek kabobs (see Sunday’s meal) reminded me how wonderful it is to grill out and eat in your backyard. Food just tastes better outside, if the weather is nice. I hope you find some new recipes to try out in this weekly meal plan.

If you are looking for an easy breakfast to make ahead of time this recipe for French toast sticks is the one for you! Whether you’re preparing freezer meals before a new baby’s arrival or you like to have kid-friendly breakfasts on hand to pop in the toaster making these French toast sticks will help make your life easier.

My stepdad makes the most addicting Chex mix. Any time our family goes home for a holiday or somewhere together on vacation we insist he make it. Unfortunately, because of social distancing, we won’t be able to see him for a number of weeks (months?) so I am going to have to make this recipe myself in order to get my fix.

Are you surviving Daylight Saving Time? This week has started out rough and that is why I am including TWO slow cooker meals this week (see Tuesday and Sunday) because when your schedule is off your slow cooker will be your best friend. I hope you enjoy this month’s weekly meal plan.
