Menu Plan Monday

Time to sit down and rough out the plan for this week!  I know it makes grocery shopping so much easier and more efficient when I have a plan to shop from, and it makes cooking all week much less stressful when I don't have to come up with a meal while I'm hungry.  Or stressed.  Or in a hurry.

As always, we rotate proteins on a four day rotation to avoid my oldest developing further meat allergies.  I do my best to rotate veggies and fruits too, but I don't get as stressed about those.  Any gaps in the meal plan will be filled in with whatever is on special at the market, or leftovers.

Lunches are always listed as protein only, and the children get to chose a fruit and a vegetable to complete the meal.  That way they have control over what they eat, and they are more likely to eat it!

Here we go:

Monday
Breakfast: steak and veggie saute
Lunch: beef dogs
Dinner: cider pulled pork roast, fried cabbage, honey glazed carrots

Tuesday
Breakfast: bacon, honey corn muffins
Lunch: pulled pork OR brats
Dinner: dal palak, quinoa pasta, peas

Wednesday
Breakfast: pumpkin muffins, green smoothie
Lunch: sunbutter and jelly
Dinner: turkey meatballs, green beans, sweet potato skillet

Thursday
Breakfast: turkey sausage and biscuit breakfast sandwiches, green smoothies, bananas
Lunch: meatballs
Dinner: salmon, roasted brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes

Friday
Breakfast: sweet potato saute OR gf bagels and green smoothie
Lunch: salmon salad
Dinner: chili casserole, broccoli

Saturday
Breakfast: waffles with spiced peach syrup
Lunch: beef burgers
Dinner: grilled pork chops, roasted veggies, grilled pineapple

Sunday
Breakfast: bacon cheddar muffins
Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: Z Pizza

Enjoy your week!  Eat well.
