Last week I was feeling very uninspired to write up my menu plan, so it was only half completed and I didn’t post it.  It makes such a big difference when we have a plan for meals for the week and when we don’t, and last week I got to remind myself of that again.  Let’s just say that if I felt uninspired when there was no time pressure and making a menu was just a mental exercise, I felt even more uninspired when everyone kept asking me what we were going to eat for the next meal, and it was less than an hour until meal time.  🙂  It was a good reminder of the value of being consistent in this aspect of my home management.

Here is this week’s menu:

Sunday – breakfast – pancakes (which my kids made in the sandwich maker and named ‘mattresses’ – they were long, rectangular, and puffy); lunch – peanuts and apples; dinner – turkey, green bean almondine, yams, potato kugel

Monday – b – hot rice with milk; l – cottage cheese pancakes; d – baked beans, buckwheat cornbread

Tuesday – b – apple walnut muffins; l – vegetarian stuffed baked potatoes; d – rice/cheese/bean burritos

Wednesday – b – eggs and hash browns; l – sandwiches; d – turkey stew, barley mock risotto

Thursday – b – cornmeal waffles; l – colcannon; d – pizza
