Last week I had several dinner changes because of leftovers or food that we had that I wanted to use up, so I’ve moved a couple of the dinners we didn’t have then to this week.

Sun – breakfast – buckwheat pancakes with agave nectar, milk; lunch – sorry, can’t remember – yesterday was so far away and I hadn’t yet written my plans down :), dinner – latkes, applesauce (homemade with apples picked and preserved by us), ricotta cheese (planned to have sour cream, but I froze it and it didn’t defrost to the consistency desired)

Mon – b – buckwheat pancakes (I made eight times the recipe yesterday instead of four times the recipe, so I had enough for two meals – it was a good thing the kids liked it!); d – veggie stir fry (garlic, orange peppers, cabbage, celery, endives), brown rice, meat, roasted zucchini

Tues – b – french toast; l – cream of cauliflower soup, marinated tomato salad; d – broccoli calzones, corn, grilled veg, tomato sauce

Wed – b – warm millet with milk; l – sandwiches or leftover soup/calzones; d – vegetarian chili

Thurs – b – cream style grits; l -chili, rolls; d – salmon patties, kasha

Last week my menu was a boon for the entire family, since my sleep schedule was totally off and several mornings I woke up too late to fix breakfast in time.  (This week is already off to a better start – my solution?  To ask dh to set the alarm for me so I don’t rely on myself!)  My solution would have been to make something quick like oatmeal, but my dd14 (the first day of Chanuka, today, was her birthday!) just looked at my menu plan and took the initiative to make breakfast as planned.
