Sometimes I struggle with coming up with food to put on our weekly menu so it’s always helpful reading other people’s menu plans for recipe inspiration and meal ideas. Every Monday I plan on sharing our menu for the week.
I make our menu on Friday and grocery shop on Saturday, so our meal plan runs Saturday – Friday. Sometime I want to try doing a two week schedule and see if that simplifies things and saves any money. This works for now.
Breakfasts:
- Chocolate Chip Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins
- Banana Oatmeal Muffins (wheat free)
- Smoothie Popsicles ( the 2 1/2 year old loves these)
Lunch:
- Leftovers
- Chopped Thai Chicken Salad (Thought we wouldn’t really like it but it ended up being better than we thought!)
- Wraps (packed for our trip to the zoo)
- Breakfast burritos and bean and cheese burritos from the freezer
- Lemon Rosemary Grilled Chicken, corn, watermelon, chips, and homemade salsa (family was in town)
Dinner:
- Butter Chicken and Salad (family still in town)
- Popcorn, watermelon, and homemade ice cream sweetened with honey and maple syrup. (This meal is called it’s been a long weekend and I really don’t want to spend time in the kitchen.)
- Baked chicken taquitos
- Salad and leftover taquitos
- On the road back from a doctor appointment and a trip to the zoo
- Husband has a work party at the water park
- Manicotti someone made for us
Snacks:
- Popcorn
- Smoothie popsicles
- Pretzels and raisins (2 1/2 year old loves this)
- Almonds and dates (my snack of choice lately)
