Another week, another menu plan, another crazy week! If I didn’t menu plan I know that there would be severe general crankiness around the supper hour! This week I’ll be out of town BY MYSELF for a couple of days and I can’t wait! Consequently, I didn’t plan breakfasts and lunches (my husband probably wouldn’t follow the plan if I had done them anyway), but next week should be semi-normal again…whatever that means!
Chia Seed Pudding the night before
The breakfast pudding from last week was interesting. It didn’t have a strong taste (probably because I couldn’t bring myself to use ginger after being grossed out by the raw ginger juice during a recent cleanse) but it wasn’t unpleasant. It filled me up and kept be going and I felt no ill effects from it so I will be trying it again. Maybe with different seasonal fruits. This past week I used mangos and raspberries.
The theme for the GF Menu Swap over at Angela’s Kitchen this week is stir fry. I don’t have a stir fry on the menu this week, but I love how I can grab some frozen veggies, some shrimp, and some rice and make dinner in 20 minutes or less and it’s one that my whole family can eat!
Sunday
Eggs with toast
Some kind of leftovers
Canned fish, humus, and whatever veggies are available…maybe some popcorn too!
Rest of the week:
Breakfasts:
Usual assortment of waffles, smoothies, and eggs.
Lunch/Dinner:
Chicken, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts
Hot dogs & beans
Chili, corn bread
Burgers…I’m thinking of doing an Italian burger with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese on top. Or if I’m tired and don’t feel like cooking because it’s so hot we’ll just have regular burgers with sweet potatoes!
Pizza, salad
We’ll continue with cleaning out the freezer/fridge and of course eat up any leftovers!
