Menu for the Week

     I follow a blog called Heavenly Homemakers.  Laura does a weekly meal plan.  I started doing this last week.  I have found that I do not follow it exactly.  Maybe it would be better if I just think out all of the possible meals and then depending on what the day throws at me, I will make one of the choices.  I know it is Tuesday, but here goes.  I start on Sundays but am going to just list all of the options for the week I have come up with since I have not mastered the menu planning as of yet.

Breakfasts

Potluck  (everyone picks what they want and eat it)


Hashbrowns with maple sausage links and cereal


Cinnamon Bread (homemade) french toast


Buttermilk and beer pancakes

As you can see, lunches tend to be where I have the hardest time. I do have a leaning towards fast food during lunch time.  It is easier when the whole family is home for lunches.
