Meal Plan Monday - April 23

Last week the Banana Bread Doughnuts became Banana Bread Cookies and the boys enjoyed cookies for breakfast.  It reminded me that sometimes a flop in the kitchen can unexpectedly become a family favorite!

I've planned a simple menu for this week since our week is  going to be a little bit busier than normal.  Here's what's cooking in my kitchen:




Breakfast
Cereal, Strawberries
Toast, Bananas
Apple Cinnamon Whole Wheat Muffins*


Lunch
Turkey & Cheese Sandwiches, Grapes
Cheese Quesadillas, Carrot Sticks, Trail Mix
Apple Cinnamon Whole Wheat Muffins*, Applesauce, Crackers & Cheese, Grapes
Mac & Cheese
Dinner Leftovers


Dinner
Monday:
     Melt In Your Mouth Meatloaf {slow cooker}, Baked Potato, Peas, Carrot Sticks

Tuesday:
      Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice, Mile High Biscuits
     
Wednesday:
      Cranberry Chicken, Rice, Carrots, Leftover Biscuits

Thursday:
      Sweet & Sour Chicken {slow cooker}, Rice, Veggies

Friday:
      Spaghetti

Saturday:
      Leftover Night

Sunday:  
      Soup & Sandwiches

Jenny, I highly recommend menu planning. It has helped me save money on groceries and I have a lot less stress at the end of the day. :)
