One of the advantages to doing a monthly menu plan is that it allows us to adjust if wanted or needed without running out to the store. I made some big changes from our original plan this week for two reasons. The first was that I was given several food items that need to be used in the next week. Secondly, the weather has finally turned to fall and our garden should be much slower in production in the next couple of weeks. We have been letting our green peppers grow and were rewarded with a HUGE harvest today. I actually had enough to make stuff green peppers for dinner, put away a bag to freeze to use in soup and have enough left to make breakfast burrito bowls later this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>reakfast<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Saturday-\u00a0Sausage Cresant Rolls(the fill was actually left-over from last week). Sunday-\u00a0Choices.\u00a0 Monday-Overnight Apple French\u00a0Toast. Tuesday- Choices Wednesday- choices. Thursday- Breakfast burrito bowl Friday- Choices.\u00a0\u00a0Choices include : leftovers, eggs, grits, French toast, pop-tart or toaster strudel, Breakfast croissant, toast or cereal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lunch- <\/strong>Our lunch menu has changed as Kendall had a really rough time with her braces and we decided to buy thermos for both Zach and Kendall to use. Monday-Egg salad for Kendall and chicken nuggets for Zach. Tuesday- Macroni and Beef, Wednesday- Kendall wants left over soup and Zach has chicken nuggets again. Thursday-Tomato soup and goldfish, and Friday- Spaghetti O&#8217;s. I have already made two salad for this week and will take leftovers otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dinner-<\/strong>\u00a0 Saturday- Lunch- leftovers.\u00a0\u00a0 Dinner-\u00a0Kimonos(eating out).<br \/>\nSunday- Lunch-\u00a0Broccoli- Cheese Soup. Dinner-\u00a0Stuffed green Peppers. (I also frozen enough stuffing for another meal.)<br \/>\nMonday-\u00a0Squash\u00a0peperoni pie.
