As you all know, I typically do my grocery shopping on Thursdays, therefore, that is also the day that I plan my weekly menu. (You'll see my grocery photo and breakdown soon.)
For my menu planning, I start by scouring my freezer, fridge, and pantry to see what I have on-hand already. Then, I look to my recipe book for basic meals that my family enjoys. If I want to spice things up a bit, I do a little looking around online for recipes - which ended up happening quite a bit this week. I think I'm getting bored with same 'ole, same 'ole.
Last week, our menu plan seemed to go out the window. I had planned some yummy dinners, but as the week progressed, and the crazy life that we live happened, we didn't end up eating much homemade prepared meals. Looking back, I can't even remember what we ate... but I know we ate! AND, we only ate once in the week out on Father's Day.
Well, with my loss of memory, here's our new menu plan for this week. Hopefully, we'll end up sticking to it because it looks delish to me already.
Breakfasts:
- Cereal w/Milk
- Vanilla Spice Oatmeal (from Ellie Krieger)
- Cereal w/Milk
- Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins w/Homemade Applesauce & Scrambled Eggs
- Cereal w/Milk
- Greek Yogurt w/Fresh Berries and Granola, Turkey Bacon, & Pancakes (Made ahead of time and frozen)
- Cottage Cheese w/Crushed Pineapple, Homemade Whole Wheat Toast, & Scrambled Eggs
- Grilled Cheese Sandwiches w/Tomato Soup
- Homemade Macaroni & Cheese w/Crispy Kale Chips
- Boca Loco Burritos (I'll substitute brown rice for refried beans.) - Great for on the go!
- Peanut Butter & Strawberry Freezer Jam Sandwiches w/Fresh Fruit on other days
- Pizza Night w/Fresh Mozzarella, Spinach, & Boar's Head Pepperoni
- Homemade Fish Sticks w/Potato Fries & Steamed Broccoli
- Homemade Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes w/Maple Syrup & Fresh Fruit
- Roasted Organic Chicken w/Coucous & Roasted Vegetables
- Organic Turkey Burgers w/Tortilla Chips and Salsa
- Leftovers
- Yet to be determined... One can't plan TOO much!
