We have a busy week ahead as we work on a moving sale and get ready to put my parents old house on the market. 30 years of stuff is a lot of work but their new house is amazing and they were ready for a change. I tried to plan my menu with meals that could be prepared ahead of time or were simple to throw together when I could grab a few minutes, while still basing my meals around items that are already in my cupboards.Breakfasts
Oatmeal and apples
Triple Threat Oatmeal Bars and fruit
Yogurt, berry, and granola parfaits
Poached eggs and toast
Toast and fruit
Leftover Oatmeal Bars
Dinners
Broccoli and Pasta, tomato salad
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans
Easy Crockpot Spaghetti and Meatballs, garden salad
Tuna Sandwiches, veggies and dip
Leftover Night

Looks great, as always!

I've copied several of your recipes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a yummy week! Thanks for the link for the vegetarian meatballs. :)
ReplyDeleteForget the meatballs. I want to hear about the sale! :) When is it? Same 'ole house?
ReplyDeleteHey Gayle, I've noticed that a lot of the breakfast baking recipes you link to are really high in sugar--those apple enchiladas have a whole cupful in addition to the pie filling. Do you usually cut back on the sweetener?
ReplyDeleteI made the Triple Threat bars this afternoon--with margarine instead of butter (it's what I had) and sunflower seeds instead of nuts. Thumbs up from my kids--although again I did find them pretty sweet.
That's a good question. I very rarely follow a recipe exactly. I sneak in flax, oil substitues, shredded veggies, less sugar, powdered milk, all kinds of stuff, leftovers...all kinds of stuff. So yes, when a fat or sugar content is high, I usually modify the recipe to make it healthier.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I have been menu planning for a while and just started my own blog this past Wednesday! I will be linking to MPM for the first time this Monday! I did post this weeks menu today! Feel free to check it out I include recipes and photos! www.garagebandfan.wordpress.com
