Menu Plan Monday – Week of 7/15/12

July 16, 2012

Ahh… summer. You would think that it would be easier to get dinner made when the schedule is a little more laid back. Or is it just me who thinks that? I thought I’d wing it the past couple of weeks, and it’s been a wee bit stressful when 4:00 rolls around. So I decided to get back in the swing of menu planning this week.

If you’re struggling with summertime meal planning, be sure to check out Food on the Table. It’s a totally free service (if you use the promo code SUMMERFREE when you sign up), and the menus are based on what’s on sale at your local grocery store. You even get to tell it what kinds of things you like to eat and if you have any dietary restrictions. Can’t beat that! Click here to sign up for free.

Here’s what’s on the menu at our house this week.

Breakfasts

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Eggs, Toast & Fruit
Bananas & Cream Oatmeal
Peanut Butter & Banana Toast Sandwiches

Lunches

    It’s not just you who thinks that, and we’re all being deceived by summer! Like your menu for a hot summer week. Visiting from MPM.
