This morning, after reading another great post by Tsh at Simple Mom, I decided to give menu planning a fair shot. And yes, I do intend to stick with it! I’m so enthused now that I have it written up and I’m hoping to avoid that panicky feeling at 5 o’clock every evening… what on earth are we having for supper?? And yes, we say “supper” in this part of the country. We are thoroughly countrified!
I wanted to share with you one of my guidelines for lunch that I’ve successfully used for a couple of years. Lunch time is sandwiches… and by that, I mean not only cold cuts but quesadillas, wraps, hot dogs, grilled cheese, etc etc. And yes, there is plenty of variety; my family hardly notices a theme going on.
Now for my first menu plan… could I have a round of applause? Thank you… thank very much… thank you…
Monday: penne alfredo (meatless Mondays?), cooked mixed veggies
Tuesday: steak, baked potatoes, Caesar salad
Wednesday: chicken fingers, mac & cheese, carrot sticks
Thursday: chicken stuffed manicotti, sauteed green beans in thyme
Friday: pizza, birthday cake (Buster’s 6th!!)
Saturday: waffles with fruit & blanc mange, grilled farmer’s sausage
