The menu plan last week was just that: a meal plan. It really did not happen at all. We were given a meal on Tuesday, made Breakfast for dinner on Wednesday and squeezed in some leftovers. But we have two very big positive take-aways. One is that we did not eat out at all and two we manage to use up most of the leftovers from Junk Food Sunday.  This week we are making a plan once again which uses some of the same items.   We did have a large Costco grocery purchase in February, but we are also continuing to try to eat what we have with some supplements of diary and vegetables.  Next week we will start repeating meals that have been successful. The idea is to get us through the end of March on a limited budget.

Sunday-Cinnamon roll waffles Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Friday- find it oatmeal, omelets cereal and milk, French toast sticks, bagels, I am also encouraging hot sandwiches for breakfast to use up bread and protein.  and.
