Menu Plan Monday – Week of 4/23/12

April 23, 2012

I feel like I’m hitting the reset button this week. I spent some time over the weekend getting back in gear. The kitchen is clean, the grocery shopping is done, the menu plan is made, and homeschool lesson plans are done. I even kept this week’s grocery shopping below $85. That’s been rare around here lately, mostly due to my own disorganization. So we’re starting a fresh week with a fresh menu plan.

Breakfasts

Peanut Butter Banana Sandwiches
Baked Oatmeal with Apples (recipe coming soon)
Breakfast Pizza (Pizza crust with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and cheese)
Homemade Bananas & Cream Oatmeal (recipe coming soon)
Eggs, Toast & Fruit

Lunches

Leftovers
Mac & Cheese with Carrot Sticks
Sandwiches with Veggie Plate
Loaded Baked Potatoes

Dinners

Pizza
Crunch Coat Chicken (same as Crunch Coat Fish), Cauliflower, Rice
Crock Pot Black Bean Soup
Turkey Tenderloins, Broccoli, Mashed Potatoes
Broiled Salmon, Baked Yams, Roasted Green Beans (recipe coming soon)
Chicken Parmesan, Salads

It seems a little ambitious, but I’m willing to try! I’ve been cooking more these days, and we seem to be eating healthier. I want to keep that momentum going.
