Menu Planning

Well, we didn't stick to our menu plan over the weekend very well. My parents asked us out to supper-- so we are behind a tad! I rotated the meal we missed into this week.

	Breakfast	Lunch	Supper
Sunday	Toast and applesauce	Picnic Lunch (sandwiches, chips, fruit, raw veggies)	Supper at Grandma’s!
Monday	Omelets	Panera Bread—love lunch with friends!	Leftovers from Grandma’s
Tuesday	Cereal and fruit	Roast Beef Roll Ups	Grilled Hamburgers
Wednesday	Pancakes	Grilled Cheese	Fajitas
Thursday	Oatmeal and fruit	Spaghetti Squash	Homemade Pizza Rolls
Friday	Fruit yogurt	Turkey Veggie Goulash	Breaded Pork Chops
Saturday	French Toast	Leftovers	Little Ceasars!

I need some new ideas for an easy breakfast around here. Lil'bug won't eat meat, and she is very picky about eggs as well. Any ideas?

Also, I was asked how I made the charts that I use for the menu planning. It is a long drawn out, pain in the bumper process. But I will share it with you. Are you sure you want to know? Ok, then pay close attention. Don't miss any of the steps! 1) Open word. 2) Create a table with 4 columns and 8 rows. 3) List the days of the week down the first column, and "breakfast", "lunch", and "dinner" in the top row. Leave the first block, empty, though. 4)Copy, and paste into your blog.

Ok, I might have been exaggerating about how difficult it actually is. Because it is easy. I always make my tables in word, but I spent about an hour trying to figure out how to create a chart on the blog. I gave up and figured I would just try the obvious "cut and paste"... and it worked! Who knew things could be so easy!

If you have any questions about the process, shoot me an email and I will help you out! Enjoy your Sunday!
