I spent the weekend and beginning of the week being sick then recovering from being sick. Our menu for the week reflects my lack of motivation in the kitchen, lol.
Breakfast:
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday it was "every man for himself" style breakfast with a choice of yogurt, cold cereal or peanut butter sandwiches
Strawberry Smoothies
Eggs, bacon and grits (twice)
Pancakes and bacon
Lunch:
Again, Mon., Tues., & Wed it was basically "get your own" such as Pizza (provided by my parents), hot dogs, peanut butter sandwiches
Leftover (really yummy) Potato, Corn & Shrimp soup
BBQ Sandwhiches
Snacks:
Chips and Salsa
Homemade granola bars (first time we tried them - they came out pretty good - nice taste, but a little too crumbly - we'll try again and tweak the recipe a little).
Yogurt
Hummus and homemade flat bread
grapes
strawberries
grapefruit halves
cucumber and dip
carrots and dip
Way, way too much Halloween candy
Supper:
Monday: Store bought roasted chicken, mac n cheese, cantaloupe, crescent rolls (relied a lot on convenience foods)
Tuesday: Used the rest of the chicken meat to make a Macaroni Grill Restaurant Favorites at Home boxed dinner (Creamy Basil). We got this as a free sample from Psst. It was tasty and convenient. If you would like a $1.50 off coupon, please leave a comment with your email address and I will email you a printable coupon. We had broccoli and mixed veggies on the side.
Wednesday: Cooked down the chicken bones to make a really yummy stock that was the base for Potato, Corn and Shrimp Soup (I'll try to post the "recipe" soon). We had these in homemade bread bowls that the boys helped to make.
Thursday: I cooked a roast in the crock pot and we are going to shred it and add BBQ sauce to it to make BBQ sandwiches. We'll have cucumbers and carrot sticks on the side.
Friday: We're having Spaghetti from the freezer with garlic bread and a veggie
Saturday: Baked fish, yellow squash, cheesecake for desert
I'm hoping to be back to menu planning on Monday. :o)
