Menu Plan for the Week
ByThis week I’m going to work on making our breakfast foods the night before we need them! I’m finding that we get a much earlier start to our school day when I have muffins or fruit dip or breakfast cookies made ahead of time!
Here’s our menu for the week:
Sunday, November 8
Oatmeal, fruit
Roasted chicken with potatoes and carrots, death by chocolate
Bean dip with chips and salsa
Monday, November 9
French toast, turkey sausage, blueberries
Pizza casserole, tossed salad
Shredded beef sandwiches with BBQ sauce on homemade buns, green beans
Tuesday, November 10
Chocolate-chocolate chip muffins, bananas
Chicken veggie quesadillas, fresh pineapple
Spaghetti, steamed brocolli and cauliflower
Wednesday, November 11
Strawberry yogurt dip with apples
Beefy vegetable soup, homemade bread and butter
Garlic chicken pasta, tossed salad
Thursday, November 12
Mini breakfast pizzas, oranges
Cottage cheese and peaches, homemade soft pretzels
Chicken and noodles, carrots
Friday, November 13
Pumpkin pancakes, applesauce
Taco potatoes, cantaloupe
Country fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, asparagus

Hi Laura! I love reading your menu plan every week. It gives me so much inspiration to feed my family healthy, homemade food. But I have one question. What do you do with your leftovers? Thanks, and keep up the great work on the blog.

Well…we usually don’t have leftovers. My family eats…a lot. :) Occasionally we have enough leftovers to have a sort of “leftover buffet” for a Saturday lunch.

Sounds like a yummy week!
How do you fix your asparagus? Do your boys eat it?
(My kids will eat it but every time I serve DH a plate with it he asks “why the trees?”)

I cook it until it’s tender crisp in a little olive oil. YUM! My kids sort of eat it. Matt and I inhale it. We make the boys each eat a bite. Justus can eat a whole asparagus and so can Asa occasionally.
