Menu Plan for the Week
ByThis weekend has been a little bit nutso. We sold concessions at our county fair AND made a very fast trip to Kansas City for a baseball game. How did we do both, you ask? I have no idea. I’ll let you know (if)when I’ve recovered.
Oh YEAH…and also I put up six dozen ears of corn and twenty-one quarts of green beans. And dug up several pounds of potatoes. Sometimes, I think I’m crazy. (Feel free to agree.)
And guess what I just realized? Soccer season (Matt helps coach our college women’s team) starts Wednesday. I think my craziness is about to get crazier.
Here’s this week’s menu:
Sunday, August 9
Breakfast cookies, grapes
Sandwiches, chips, baby carrots, fruit leather
Out with family/friends
Monday, August 10
Simple sourdough pancakes
Tuna topped tomatoes, watermelon
Italian roast wraps, fruit salad
Tuesday, August 11
Scrambled eggs, oranges
BLTs, chips and salsa, cantaloupe
Chicken enchiladas, salad
Wednesday, August 12
Applesauce bread, bananas
Chicken quesadillas, peaches
Cookout with the soccer team
Thursday, August 13
Fruit-kefir smoothies, homemade oat cereal
Salmon patties, strawberry-peach slushies
Lasagna, tossed salad, garlic bread
Friday, August 14
Fried eggs on toast, clementines
Hamburger patties, corn on the cob, tomatoes
Picnic with our homeschool group – Taking Hearty bean casserole, veggie tray, fudge brownies
Saturday, August 15
Breakfast cake
Bean dip with chips, salsa and kreme fresh
Grilled steak, corn on the cob, ranch potato wedges
All craziness aside, I have some fun posts in the works for you this week. Like for instance…at the fair I got to thinking about how I could probably make my own healthier (and CHEAPER) version of a funnel cake. And so I tried it. And it was YUMMY! I’ll share that recipe sometime this week.
I also figure that with all the craziness, I should spit out a random post for you. Random and crazy go well together.
Here’s to another great and busy week!
Please, PLEASE share your funnel cake recipe! That is my “must have” for the state fair! I’m sure my wallet would appreciate a cheaper, healthier version. I thought Matt did men’s soccer. We have a girl from here at York and I think she was going to play…

I have so enjoyed your blog. I keep updated via Bloglines and love your healthy recipes. Have you posted your recipe for Hearty bean casserole? As a vegetarian it sounds like one I would love to try.
Again, thank you for all your work on this blog. (Your Salmon Patties are one of the many that we use at least twice a month :-) Also, I loved the Super Foods series!
