Menu Plan - Back in the Swing of Things

Summer is gone. The Feast of Tabernacles is over. The rain is upon us. Our new school year is starting.

Menu planning is back. Things are so much easier when I plan a menu, shop for it and then know what I'm making for dinner before 5 o'clock rolls around.

Dinners:

Chili & Cornbread
Split Pea & Turkey Ham Soup, Biscuits
Spaghetti w/ Meatballs, Garlic Bread and Green Beans.
Enchilada Casserole
Eggplant Lasagna & Salad
Steaks, Brussels Sprouts, and Roasted Red Potatoes
Baked Potato Bar
Chef Salad
Chicken & Pear Salad
Orange Chicken, Rice and Broccoli
Pancakes and Fruit
Grain Free Chicken Nuggets & Salad
Coconut Almond Crusted Cod, Homemade Fries and Sauteed Kale

Breakfast:
Weekdays are a rotation of:
yogurt w/ muffin
oatmeal or cream of wheat {almond/flax porridge for me!}
eggs and toast

Sabbath Breakfasts:
French Toast {by special requested from the Hubby}
Grain Free Dutch Baby with Blueberry Topping

Lunch:
My goal is to pre-pack into our bento boxes for easy-to-grab lunches, even if we are just staying home! These will include sandwiches, slices of meat & cheese, crackers, apple slices, bananas, veggie sticks. Occasionally we'll have leftovers, but we don't usually have a lot of leftovers and it's usually destined for Hubby's lunch!


As of tomorrow, I'm going back to my grain-free, low carb, low sugar 'diet'*. I feel so much better when I eat this way, I wish I didn't make it so hard on myself to stick with it. Any of the above recipes that don't seem to fit into this way of eating will be modified for me. My boys do not eat this way, although I try not to make two different meals.
*To me, this is a lifestyle change that just has to be restarted now and then when I fall off the wagon. I don't see it as a diet only to lose weight.
