One of the things I have really enjoyed since I discoverd the world of blogs is Menu Plan Monday at http://orgjunkie.com/ She posts her menu for the week and then other bloggers post theirs and link to them. I love looking at what others are planning or doing with their menus for the week. So here is my first attempt at doing a menu plan online.
Breakfasts: We usually eat the same thing everyday. The boys start off with milk or juice, applesauce, cereal and toast with honey or jelly. If they're still hungry after that they will have a banana to top it off.
Lunches: We keep lunch simple: leftovers, pbj sandwiches, turkey and cheese, egg salad, pancakes. Usually whatever I feel up to making. We always have fruit with lunch too.
Suppers:
Monday - Beef Enchiladas and mixed veggies
Tuesday - leftovers -I have to work tonight
Wednesday - Chicken Pot pie
Thursday - Mac and Cheese bake, green beans
Friday - Homemade Pizza
Saturday - Steak, corn, potatoes
Sunday - Lunch: soup and grilled cheese Supper: leftovers
The mom's group that I am in did a soup exchange this month so I have 14 frozen quart bags of yummy homemade soup in my freezer. It is so fun for me to look in there and see all of that soup. So I though we would pick a different kind every Sunday for lunch until it warms up!
Well, that's our week. For more menu ideas click on the link at the top of this post.
Welcome to Menu Plan Monday! Your menu sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI need to try menu planning again. In the past, I've made them, but ditched them the second day. So those are 14 different kinds of soup? That sounds like a good idea - a soup exchange.
ReplyDeleteActually they are 7 different kinds. We decided to each make two quart bags per person. Some have large families and will use it up faster then those of us with small families or kids who don't like soup. We had baked potato soup last Sunday and it was sooo good. I'm having a hard time not pulling more out during the week. I may just have to!
ReplyDeleteMenu planning really saves in the sanity department for me. I hate the 4pm "what am I going to make tonight?" feeling.
