Happy Easter! Here are the menus for Holy week. During this week, I finish my spring cleaning (by Wednesday), and then spend Holy Thursday preparing for Easter. On Good Friday, I fast and make a pilgrimage, so those menus also look different than usual. And on Holy Saturday, the children and I finish preparations and decorations for Easter, Holy Week is also the first week of the children’s spring break. So a lot of these meals are quick-and-easy meals for spring cleaning and holiday busyness.
