I’m not particularly creative or gifted when it comes to menu planning. I quickly run out of ideas, and I tend to make the same foods again and again. We always survive, but I don’t usually feel much pride when I look at the list of meals I’ve come up with.
This week is a little different. Just a little different, but I’ll take what I can get.
I didn’t have any new or exciting ideas, but I did plan for some favorites. And the very best part of this menu is the fact that I’m doing the old “cook once, eat twice” thing. Sure, it sort of happened by accident, but I’ll take all the credit anyway.
Here’s this week’s menu plan:
Breakfasts around our house tend to be a fend-for-yourself affair. I try to keep a wide enough selection of items on hand that the kids can either fix for themselves or can fix with minimal help. Also, since my husband works a job with odd hours, every meal is not a “family meal”. When Dad is at work, I try to keep things simple to save time and my sanity (well, whatever sanity I have left by dinner time.). I’ve marked our “family meals” with an asterisk (*).
