Yesterday afternoon I started to feel like I’d been hit by a truck. By the end of the day, I felt like it had backed up and run me over again. And again and again. (Thanks, allergies/horrible sinuses!)

It wasn’t the loveliest of Mother’s Days.

There is relief on the horizon, though. My mom was going to spend a few days with us later this week, and she’s decided to come early to help me out while I convalesce. Yay for moms!

Speaking of Mom, here’s my plan for what she’ll be making for dinner this week.*

Monday: Breakfast for dinner.

This is usually eggs and veggie sausages.

Tuesday: Black bean taquitos.

This is the first recipe we’re trying from Relish.

Wednesday: Chicken strips and mashed potatoes.

This was my favorite Mom-made meal growing up.

Thursday: Bean and kale soup.

I’ve never had kale before, and I wasn’t sure what it looked like. It’s frilly!

Friday: Pizza

*I’m really hoping to be better sometime soon, so maybe she won’t feel like she needs to make all the meals.
