Last night my husband did some kind of clean up of the computer system, so I couldn’t get on to post.  But my toddler has helped me put this here in a timely way, by waking up much, much earlier than usual this morning.  🙂  So today I’m enjoying being awake in a very quiet house with just him – I got a load of laundry in the washer, another in the dryer, wrote up my weekly menu, and it’s still silent.

Sometimes it takes me a lot longer to plan my menu than other times, but I started by pulling a couple of the meals that didn’t happen last week (due to being out one afternoon and having a lot of something left over one day from the night before) and stuck them in for this week.  So this took just a few minutes.

Sunday – breakfast – french toast (I think – I was up late and then on the phone for a long time with a few people, so I wasn’t there); lunch – sandwiches; dinner – chicken, kasha, green beans

Monday – b – low country cream style grits (perfect for making on a day when I have lots of time before everyone wakes up – it’s easy, but cooks for an hour); l – sandwiches; d – split pea soup, cornbread

Tuesday – b – hash browns, eggs; l – leftover split pea soup; d – chickpea and peanut stew

Wednesday – b – french toast; l – cottage cheese pancakes, baked yams; d – shepherd’s pie (using deboned turkey from homemade stock)

Thursday – b – pumpkin streusel muffins, l – pizza; d – salmon patties, rice

As always, breakfast is supplemented with milk and fruit, other meals are supplemented with whatever veggies I have on hand.
