THE PETERSENS

This next week is really crazy busy.  We have something going on every evening, so I tried to pick easier meals that I can prep the night before or simply pull out of the freezer (there are a few meals which I froze a couple weeks ago for such weeks as this coming one).  It’ll feel splendid to just go out to eat somewhere on Saturday night and relax as a family.  It’s always nice to have a break from cooking and baking!
