Meals

I know I should just make my meal week tuesday through monday but I still have hopes of being organized enough on a sunday to write my plan out.
I will say though that having breakfast and lunches mostly planned out has been a huge relief for me.  It really does make my days easier.
I am going to write the past 2 days even though they are over, just in case anyone needs ideas.
Sunday:
B: pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs
L: leftover tacos
D: BBQ, zucchine with rotini noodles, salad

Monday:
B: at sitters
L: quesadillas
D: leftover chicken/noodles

Tuesday:
B: scrambled eggs and toast
L: noodles
D: chicken fried steak, long grain/wild rice, green beans

Wednesday
B: scones
L: sandwiches
D: pizza at a birthday party

Thursday
B: pancakes
L: bagel/cream cheese
D: crockpot chicken, noodle roni (my MIL is picking the kids up, taking son to soccer and doing dinner, so am trying to make it easy on her-hence the noodle roni)

Friday
B: at sitters
L: kids are getting hot lunch
D: leftovers

Saturday
B: cereal, yogurt
L: not sure
D: BBQ (while we can), potatoes of some sort

I clearly need to work on some details and I am going to try making some breakfast cookies and see how that goes over.  Now that I have a little order to breakfast and lunches for the main dish, I need to work on the sides and figure out a routine for my dinners.  But I am slowly working on it and it is definitely going better than it has in the past.

Meal Plan

Once again I cannot seem to get my meal plan listed on Sunday.

It has been really nice to have meal plans for all my meals.  I have really been trying to make the kids a good breakfast and while it is taking some getting used to, I am very grateful when they aren't telling me they are hungry 30 minutes after eating.

Also, I usually try to have the kids eat fruit at most meals but I offer them choices, so I might not always list what specific fruit we have.  Fortunately they all like a wide variety of fruits.  Veggies not so much, you will see a lot of carrots and salad listed.

I am going to go ahead and back track to Sunday and what we ate:
Sunday:
     B: simple soaked pancakes from Heavenly Homemakers (it's an adjustment eating whole wheat pancakes but a few chocolate chips sprinkled in really helped!)
     L: hot dogs, baked french fries, carrots, fruit
     D: beef vegetable soup/chicken noodle for the kids, fruit
Monday
     B: at sitter's
     L: quesadillas, carrots,
     D: leftover pizza, salad, fruit
Tuesday
     B: scrambled eggs, toast   
     L: noodles, carrots, applesauce
     D:spaghetti and meatballs, green beans, salad, watermelon/blueberries


Wednesday
     B: pancakes
     L: ham or turkey sandwiches, carrots, cantaloupe
     D: leftover beef soup
Thursday
     B: cereal, whole wheat banana bread
     L: ham/turkey sandwiches, carrots, fruit
     D: chicken/broccoli over brown rice
Friday
     B: at sitters
     L: sandwiches, carrots, fruit
     D: leftover spaghetti and meatballs
Saturday
     B: kids choice
     L: having a garage sale and the boys will be at a Ducks game so not sure
     D: BBQ hamburgers/hot dogs, baked beans, roasted potatoes

I am clearly in a rut with lunches for the kids, they are going to get so bored with sandwiches, this is something I really need to work on in the next few weeks!

Meal plan

I have no idea where this weekend went but am 2 days late posting my meal plan.  And am not sure it is totally complete but will get me through this week.

Tuesday
B: french toast, milk
L: each kid got to pick their lunch today for the first day of school so that included salami sandwiches, macncheese, chicken nuggets, plus carrot sticks, fruit
D: chicken and noodles, corn

Wednesday
B: eggs and toast, juice
L: turkey sandwiches, carrot sticks, fruit
D: leftover chicken and noodles, salad

Thursday:
B: pancakes, smoothie
L: not sure
D: chicken and broccoli over brown rice

Friday:
B: at sitters
L: not sure:-(
D: leftovers maybe

Saturday:
B: oatmeal or cold cereal
L: BBQ with family
D: maybe something light like cheese/crackers, popcorn, veggies

Lunch is what I really need to work on to be creative.  My goal is to have a system where breakfast and lunches are the same for that day of the week so for example every tuesday have eggs and toast, wednesday pancakes....that kind of thing.  That way it's set and hopefully makes things easier. 
The first day of school has gone well so far, my preschooler did great on her first day which is a huge relief.  She was my first kid not to cry on their first day of preschool and that made it so much easier on this momma.  But I found when I picked her up that I missed her.  Glad we have this afternoon to spend together!
