menu planning MONDAY

after gorging on delicious super bowl party food last night, i’m de-toxing this morning with water. lots and lots of water. in between cups of coffee, of course (what kind of detox is that you ask? coffee is great for cleaning out one’s sytem. and i’ll leave it at that).

any way…we skipped around our menu last week a lot due to guests and dinners out that were canceled due to 21 inches of snow in one night (WHOPPING snowfall. kenny shoveled tunnels from the house to the driveway to the barn. they would be paths if we merely got a few inches, but we got almost a few feet. and we’re expected to get another half foot this week. aiy yai yai. how about a trip to an indoor water park? anyone?

Monday

breakfast: hot cereal with orange slices

dinner:chicken parmesan over spaghetti, salad

Tuesday

Friday

breakfast: french toast, bananas

dinner: OUT for dinner (before family-bible-study)

  1. That gingerbread oatmeal sounds delicious!

    Do you have your baked doughnuts recipe published on your blog? I’ve never tried baked ones before…I’d love the recipe!

  2. We liked the sloppy cornbread last Wednesday night, too, but also thought it was too much bread. LOVED the simple sauce, though!!!

  3. colleen – i just linked the doughnuts in the menu to the recipe. we’ve made it a few times – i used a “mini tube cake” pan which makes 6 at a time – 10 “donut” total. we really like it. this time, we’re going to dip the tops in a lighter glaze than the recipe uses…the kids like the glaze! :)
