it’s just “menu planning” now and not “menu planning MONDAY.” because i’m actually posting this sunday night, and some of you might even be reading this on sunday night and i don’t want to confuse anyone. ya know.
our breakfasts were very relaxed this past week. i can’t pinpoint why, except that the boys have all started sleeping in really late. like 9:15 late (thursday-saturday) and we had a few days of sick boys and tired parents. so yes, it’s an excuse, but i will try harder this week. because i love the idea of warm, home-baked breakfasts most of the week.
monday breakfast: english toasting bread with nutella, mandarins
dinner: shepherd’s pie, big ol’ salad
tuesday breakfast: company muffins, mandarins
dinner: red lentil coconut curry over rice, steamed edameme
wednesday breakfast: homemade granola with yogurt or milk
dinner: Beef Stew over Irish Soda Bread, raw veggies with dip
thursday breakfast: cocoa wheats, toast, clementines
dinner: Sweet and Sour meatballs over Rice, big ol’ salad
friday breakfast: gingersnap oatmeal, strawberry-yogurt smoothies
dinner: LEFTOVERS (our dinner out was canceled again, due to illness in OUR family…so we’re having leftovers this friday night. maybe our plans for leftovers will be canceled and we’ll actually get out!)
saturday breakfast: daddy’s famous pancakes
dinner: spaghetti and meatballs, big ol’ salad, garlic breadsticks





MIDWEEK UDATE: we had pakistani kima (from More with Less cookbook) for dinner last night and tonight, i wasn’t aware of a dinner meeting that kenny has neither was he), so i’m doing a pancake dinner again for the boys tonight while i have the big ol’ salad i didn’t make last night.
