This is simply picking up all the things that are out of place and putting them back. Starting the day with dirty dishes in the sink is one of the best ways to sabotage your efforts at streamlining your homeschool lifestyle that I know. All of a sudden, breakfast becomes a possibility. If your children are old enough, enlist their help in doing the dishes. Meals by any other name would taste as good.
Realism is an important factor to homeschool menu making.
Right now, though I hate to admit it, I simply do not have time to make the hot breakfasts of muffins, pancakes, scrambled eggs, waffles, coffee cake, etc. that I used to make. Creativity is another important factor in homeschool menu making. Try to not have the same dinner for five nights in a row. For now, don't plan to serve a five course dinner every night. You're getting hungry and you can tell the kids are too.
