Menu Plan Monday..

The past few weeks since having Judah I have hardly had to cook. So many people have brought us dinner and it has been SUCH a blessing! Not only have I not had to cook, but I haven't had to plan meals and that is such a load off me! The week before I had Judah I made Zucchini Bread, Banana Bread, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, Waffles, and Pancakes and put them all in the freezer so we could just add some fruit and have simple breakfasts, and for lunches we just stuck to sandwiches and leftovers. So basically my mind has been shut off to meal planning for almost 3 weeks, ahhhh.. :) So, I am coming back refreshed with new ideas and we still have a few dinners coming this week. Here's the lineup as it looks right now:

Breakfasts-

Cereal/ Fruit

Scrambled Eggs/ Toast / Fruit

Waffles / Fruit

Zucchini Bread/ Fruit

Cereal Bars / Fruit

Lunches-

Tuna Melts/ Roasted Zucchini/ Cottage Cheese

Lunch Meat and Cheese Sandwiches/ Fresh Veggies

Leftovers

Cheese Quesidillas/ Tomato Soup / Fresh Veggies

Make our own Lunchables for a picnic

T- Dinner Brought

W- Dinner Brought
