Menu Plan Monday

February 18, 2013

Menu Plan

Last week’s plan to speed up dinner prep was a raving success. Knowing that dinner was semi-prepped before cooking time was a huge relief for me. It was really motivating! This week I was focused on making things with ingredients we already had on-hand. The might be because our pantry is starting to get a bit overcrowded again. {blush}

:: Breakfasts ::

Eggs, toast, fruit
Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Granola
Cereal, fruit
Easy Bananas & Cream Oatmeal
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

:: Lunches ::

Leftovers (my favorite!)
Munchy Lunch (crackers, cheese, apple slices, carrots)
Cheese Quesadillas with veggie tray

:: Dinners ::

Crock Pot Chili
Mini Meatloaf, Crock Pot Baked Potatoes, Green Beans
Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole, Corn
Chicken Toastadas
Oven-Baked Loaded Nachos (recipe coming soon)
Sausage Fried Rice (Didn’t get to it last week)
