Menu Plan Monday - Spring Break!

Ahhh! This week's menu takes on an entire life of its own because it is Spring Break. This means that my grocery budget is going to be stretched beyond belief with the boys home for three meals a day plus snacks. I spent a lot of time last week trying to plan and prepare. I will be totally honest. I think that this will be the week that tests us the most as far as Lent. We gave up soft drinks and fast food and I know that at some point during this week we will be so tempted to want to grab something "quick".


Breakfasts

sausage cheddar muffins, crunchy snickerdoodle French toast, cold cereal, toast, blueberry muffins

Lunches
grilled ham and cheese, homemade pizzas, tuna fish salad, pasta salad

Our "Main" Meal

Monday - crockpot brown sugar chicken and broccoli and cheddar rice
Tuesday - corned beef and potatoes with green punch (for St. Patrick's Day!)
Wednesday - steak and spinach pinwheels with twice baked potatoes
Thursday - ham and cheese quiche
Friday - leftover night
Saturday - waffles, scrambled eggs, grits and bacon
Sunday - crockpot chicken and dressing

If the weather will cooperate, we will pack our picnic basket on Friday and go to one of my childhood favorite picnic spots, Rocky Springs.

As much as I enjoy cooking, I don't like to be in the kitchen every day.     To have to get in there takes the joy out of it for me and on some days with my muscle disease it just isn't possible.     I like to cook our week's worth of meals on Saturday.    It gives me a tremendous peace of mind to know that our meals are cooked and no matter how I am feeling that my boys will be fed.
