Meal Planning for the Week

May 14th, 2012 at 03:42 am

Okay so breakfasts are pretty much the same around here for the kiddos. Usually pancakes and eggs for the boy and peanut butter toast or leftover something or other for the girl. She doesn't like to eat too much first thing in the morning.

Lunches for the kids during the school week are turkey and roast beef sandwiches for the boy and either ham or turkey wraps of some sort for the girl. They have their choice of taking yogurt and fruit (kiwis and pineapple chunks for either or an apple for the girl). DS usually gets hot lunch on Tuesdays (chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and some sort of fruit), which reminds me that I need to write a check for $18 for the rest of the year. I want the account bottomed out. I don't like to run it with a balance over the summer, even if I know he will just use it next September.

I am going to make myself a low carb meatloaf tomorrow for my lunches this week. I am only eating high carbs once a day right now at dinner time. It's just eggs, parmesan and romano cheese, ground beef, green onions and garlic. I'll probably post the actual recipe and amounts with photos tomorrow. The camera is fritzing still, so sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and I haven't made it to buy a new one yet. I will have a salad of mixed greens with the meatloaf.

I will probably do up a batch of taco meat, too. I often eat leftover taco meat on lettuce with cheese for breakfast when I am too tired to make myself eggs or sausage. I may also make and fry up some lamb sausage patties after lunch for breakfasts, too. I usually eat cucumber slices with my breakfast if it is not taco meat on lettuce.

So dinners:

Monday--Homemade pizza with prosciutto, hamburger (this will be the leftover hamburger patty I made yesterday crumbled up), onions, red peppers (at least on my portion), mozzarella cheese and a bit of cheddar, and pepperoni. Salad. Milk.

Tuesday--Spaghetti with meatballs. I am going to make my fancy from scratch sauce and make extra meatballs for the next day. Leftover broccoli and cauliflower will be the veggies unless I eat them for lunch, then they will be fresh instead. Milk.

Wednesday--Meatball sandwiches. I have some homemade hamburger buns to use up. I will save out some of the spaghetti sauce and use the leftover meatballs for this. Green beans. Milk.

Thursday--oven baked chicken, from scratch mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli and cauliflower. Canteloupe. Milk. (I will save some of the boiled potatoes before I mash them for tomorrow).

Friday--Bacon cheeseburgers with fried potatoes using the saved boiled potatoes. Green beans. Milk.

Saturday--Beef Tacos, sweet potatoes and whatever leftover cut fruit we have left and if none I will open up something else or we will do bananas.

Sunday--Beef pot roast, from scratch mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans. Milk.

There. I feel much better having a plan for the week.
