Menu Monday July 21

I’m changing up the format of these posts…simplicity, people! 

Breakfasts this week are:

•    Plain whole milk yogurt with berries and a little maple syrup mixed in
•   French toast (with homemade bread) 
•   Scrambled eggs
•   Pancakes on Sunday

Lunches will hopefully be:

•    Make your own tacos with beans, cheese and tortillas
• Stir fry with tofu, veggies and rice noodles
• Pepperoni, cheese and crackers
•  Peanut butter and banana slices on crackers
•   Broccoli cheese egg bake

Dinners:

Monday- Whole chicken (the cayenne pepper makes this AMAZING) and veggies in the crock pot, rice

Tuesday- Spaghetti and meatballs with bread and a salad

Wednesday- Braised chicken and spring veggies, rice

Thursday- Spinach, bean and cheese enchiladas

Friday- Homemade pizza and a salad

Saturday night we have a BBQ and Sunday is leftovers night.

A few notes

-I haven’t bought sandwich bread since I started baking my own whole wheat bread about 2 months ago! We make a couple of loaves each week and I pretty much melt from joy each time I slice off some freshly baked bread and spread a little strawberry-rhubarb jam from the farmers market on.

-I do buy the bread that we use with pasta, though. I discovered the half-baked loaves at Trader Joe’s and my family absolutely loves them. So they come in a pack of two and we use one a week. They keep well in the fridge, FYI.

-I’ve started making two pizzas each Friday so that we can have some leftovers in case of munchies during the week. Also in case the hubs is running late for work, he can still have something to grab for lunch

-Alice is now eating 2 bowls of salad each Friday, and only one slice of pizza…this makes me super happy. Not cus she’s eating so much salad, but because I can eat more pizza now! *Just kidding. Sort of.

Happy meal planning! What’s on your menu?
