Monday Meals: Weekly Meal Plan

Okay, so yesterday (Sunday), we fully intended to have Bacon-Tuna Casserole (a concoction I put together combining two recipes). We had it ready to go in the slow cooker and everything! The Hubster got nervous that the noodles were going to burn (he’d left it on high), so he came home real quick to check it out. And, it’s a good thing he did! The noodles weren’t burned…they weren’t even on!! Ahhh…the joys of a busy Sunday morning! So, he turned it on then and I let it cook into the early afternoon and put it in the fridge for another day this week.

I’m continuing to make headway on clearing out our pantry for our transition to Real Food cooking!!! So, here’s what we’re eating this week!

So, hopefully in the next few weeks you’ll start to see some changes in our meals. We have decided to go Soy-Free and Gluten-Free. Yes, I know that limits some things and cuts out a lot. But, I’ve recently read some good research that leads me to believe this is a healthier and better option for our family. You can read more about the soy issue here. And as for the gluten-free issue…I’ve read how it can help with hyper-active children and those with Asperger’s. Even though we don’t have that diagnosis, I think it’s worth exploring in our diet to see if it helps. I’m all for “natural” remedies rather than medication!!

So, with that being said…Here is this week’s (somewhat unhealthy, but YUMMY) meal plan!

Monday 3/5

Well, there ya have it!! As you can probably tell, my kids are VERY PICKY eaters! I’m slowly working on them, but as I quickly figured out…I can’t change their entire menu in one week. So, we’re trying new dinner dishes and seeing how those go for a while and then we’ll try changing up the lunches. My middles don’t like sandwiches (really the cold meats & sliced cheese is what they don’t like, but they’ll eat shredded cheese – WEIRD!) and they don’t like certain kinds of pastas either. So, I try to sneak in new pastas when I can!

We’re getting there…slowly, but moving forward nonetheless. Meanwhile, I’m learning to enjoy the journey!!!

So, what’s on your Meal Plan for the week? Link up here and share your favorite recipes!!

Monday Meals 9 Jan 2012

I plan to post our weekly meal plans every Monday in addition to my Maid for Monday post.  I’m working on re-vamping my site so I will have tabs, including a recipe tab that will also include prices (& where I shop for those prices).  Most of these recipes are ones I’ve found and tweaked. I also started using recipes I’ve pinned here and will review them Monday following the week we tried them (if they’re new to us or ones I haven’t reviewed on here yet). I have several different food categories on my Pinterest, so I’ll be sure to post the exact link to make it easier for you to find. But, while I’m at it – if you don’t have a Pinterest account, be sure to email me or comment below to request an invitation. TRUST ME – You won’t be sorry!!! I absolutely love, Love, LOVE this site!! I have pretty much anything and everything I could ever want in one place! I don’t have to search 50 million blogs or websites to find ideas for homeschooling, DIY crafts, gift ideas, decorating ideas (okay…I can’t decorate – that gift was not passed on from my mother, but I sure like to look!), recipes and SO. MUCH. MORE!!!! I’m sure once you take a look around Pinterest, you’ll become as addicted as I have! It’s just so much FUN!!

So, here’s this weeks meal plan! If you don’t understand what I’ve described – ASK!!! Let me know if you try anything from my meal plan and how you liked it or changed it! I’m always open to new ideas!! Happy Planning and Happy Cooking!

Monday 1/9

Breakfast: Oatmeal

            Lunch: Corn dogs, blueberries, chips

Wednesday 1/11

            Breakfast: Oatmeal

            Lunch: Fishsticks or Ham n’ Cheese, chips/pretzels, fruit

            Dinner: Leftovers (this possibly seems strange to have leftovers in the middle of the week, but my actual shopping week is Wed-Tues, so that’s how I actually plan my meals. This is the last day of our “week” so we often have leftovers to clean out the fridge! And, its church night, so we eat & run.)

Thursday 1/12 (Dad’s day off!!!)

            Breakfast: Pancakes, bacon, eggs (whatever the kids want)

Lunch: Homemade Bacon & Pepperoni Pizzas 

            Dinner: Corn dogs for the kids & Creamy Potato Soup for small group (aka My Guinea Pigs!)

            Dinner: Homemade Macaroni & Cheese (this is our typical Sunday night meal. The hubster works overnights & so on Sunday’s he’s usually up until after lunch & then sleeps the rest of the day away until he returns to work that night. So, the kids get a yummy meal and mom takes it easy!)

Well, there ya have it!! As you can probably tell, my kids are VERY PICKY eaters! I’m slowly working on them, but as I quickly figured out – I can’t change their entire menu in one week. So, we’re trying new dinner dishes and seeing how those go for a while and then we’ll try changing up the lunches.
