Meal Plans

Here are some meal plans for Adrianne (or other interested parties.... or interesting parties.... whatever).

We do this breakfast schedule every week:
Monday: hot cereal
Tuesday: Eggs/toast/fruit
Wed.: Pancakes or waffles
Thur.: Cold Cereal
Fri.: Eggs/Toast/Fruit
Sat.: Whatever--the goal is to try and make something I don't have time to make during the weekdays, like baking muffins or German pancakes, but lots of times it's just, well... whatever. Or breakfast leftovers, should there be some.
Sun.: Whatever
(I vary the types of things frequently. For example, cream of wheat, oatmeal w/ raisins, oatmeal with strawberries, etc. Poached eggs, scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs. Sometimes bagels instead of bread; lots of different kinds of pancakes...)
For lunch, we alternate between something simple (burritoes, sandwiches, soup, tostadas) and leftovers.
Dinners (here are 3 weeks worth from a few weeks ago...)
MONDAY: 1)Beans & Rice, cabbage salad, quesadillas; 2) BLT's w/ carrot salad; 3) Salmon (Chipotle Honey from Sam's--splurge for Valentine's Day), strawberry-spinach salad, breadsticks, broccoli
TUESDAY:1) Taco Salad; 2) Shredded Chicken Tacos, salad, cherries; 3) Shepherd's Pie, fruit salad
WEDNESDAY: 1)Honey Dijon Chicken w/ Rice, salad; 2) Lentil soup w/ baked sweet potatoes, salad; 3) Clam chowder, cabbage salad
THURSDAY: 1) Fish (I'm sure I had something else w/ it, but no notes); 2) Navajo tacos at the scout banquet--I never make those...but maybe I should, they were good; 3)Spaghetti, garlic bread, salad
FRIDAY: 1) Chili & salad & bread; 2)Lasagne w/ garlic bread & salad; 3) Cookout--Hamburgers/ hot dogs, carrot sticks, grapes
SATURDAY: So my past 3 Saturdays don't look so good... I meant to make posole for 3+ weekends now, and I haven't, but I didn't write down what I did make, so... I'll just fill in some ideas from other weeks. 1) Hoagie sandwiches; 2) Pizza with carrots & grapes & "Dilly Cucumber" salad; 3) Turkey casserole
SUNDAY: As a disclaimer/confession, my Saturdays are usually so busy that I don't get a lot of meal prep done for Sunday. Unless I buy a roast or something, our Sunday meals are nothing special... especially since we've sometimes gone 5 hrs. or so without eating, I don't go for fancy. Maybe I'll get it together and change that someday, but for now, this is what you get... 1) Creamy Vege. soup w/ salad & breadsticks; 2) Mashed potatoes, cooked vegetable, salad; 3) Stew & cabbage salad & "cheesebread"
SO FAR THIS WEEK, we'ved done tomato soup, fish sticks, and chicken gumbo soup. And if I forget to soak the beans one more time, we might end off the week with eating hangnails with toejam. Just kidding. That was disgusting.
