Meal Plan, Week of 4/11

preparing the cheddar crust for my savory chicken pot pie

Last week is one week that I'm excited about putting behind us.  We've battled strep, the flu, ear infections, and upper respiratory infections.  We seem to be doing much better this weekend and are ready to move forward!

For simplicity's sake, I'm hoping to make large dinners and use the leftovers for lunch the next day.  You may also notice that I'm only planning for four days of meals; we have special plans later this week and I won't be doing as much cooking as usual!

Here's what we're planning:

Breakfasts

Eggs with horseradish and dill 

Gently cooked apples with cinnamon and homemade yogurt

Strawberry smoothies (using yogurt, not milk), hardboiled eggs

Yogurt with cinnamon and honey, freshly made juice

Dinners

Sirloin patties on the grill, green beans with dill, honey glazed carrots

Grilled chicken with grilled carrots

Spring salad with chicken, almonds, and dates

Southwestern black bean tacos

What's on your menu this week?

Warmly,

  9. Oh, Jaime, you are talking my language — you had me at that first picture! I found you by way of the Barn Hop today, and while I have no menu plan (SHAME!), I think that reading yours makes me hungry enough to make one :)
