Meal Plan Monday

Meal planning is a super helpful way for our family to stay on track with eating (relatively) healthy and at home all week long. We have such a busy weeknight schedule - every night has something for someone and someplace for someone to be.  So meal planning it is.....

When I meal plan, I don't plan specific meals for specific days (usually).  I make a list off 5-6 dinners and 3-4 lunches and 1-2 breakfasts and go from there.  We pick and choose what to have each day based on the night's schedule.

Breakfasts this week:

• cereal & milk
• overnight oats
• scrambled eggs
• toast/english muffin/bagel with PB or cream cheese.

Lunches this week - bagged lunches for school:

• PBJ sandwiches
• Bagged chips
• cheese sticks
• apples/oranges
• yogurt
• leftovers
• SOS - stuff on a salad
• Saturday - Breakfast lunch
• Sunday - grilled cheese with tomato soup

Dinners this week - actually by day this week due to schedules:

• Sunday - Pot Roast in the Crock Pot with root veggies, bread & salad
• Monday - Thing #4 Birthday Dinner Request - Spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread and birthday cake for dessert
• Tuesday - Nachos
• Wednesday - WWJ dinner at church
• Thursday - leftovers 
• Friday - Corned beef with potatoes, soda bread and salad
• Saturday - leftovers or steaks wth baked potatoes
• Sunday - leftovers or steaks with bakes potatoes

Sweet Treats - once or twice a week only:
