The New Normal (Off-Season Menu #5)

Published on April 13, 2020 By Emily. Updated on April 27, 2021

Last week, my school really kicked off our remote learning. I definitely had some concerns about how Brian (who teaches at the same school) and I were going to balance planning, grading and meetings while also parenting two children. But, despite the fact that I feel like I’m rewriting my curricula for at least the 4th time this year (due to changes at school, my baby coming early, changing things around for my subs and now COVID-19), it’s beginning to feel like things are under control. We’re living and dying by our calendars as to not miss anything, but Brian and I have figured out a schedule that seems to be working and — generally speaking — I’m not hating working from home as much as I’d anticipated. Still, I won’t complain when this is all finished and I can get back to my classroom and the rest of my life.

The Plan

Slow-and-Low Dry Rub Oven Chicken (Smitten Kitchen) with egg noodles and carrots {Easter dinner}

leftover baked ziti

Chickpea Tikka Masala (Foodie with Family)

black bean tacos

Stir Fry Beef Noodles (Budget Bakes)

pizza

grilled cheese and tomato soup

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!
