Menu Plan Monday - the MJO visit!

October 13th, 2008

We are SO excited about our friends - Mandy, Josh, and Olivia - coming to visit. They’re going to be arriving Thursday evening, so they’ll be a part of our menu this week. In addition to the allergies our kids have, Olivia is allergic to soy, and Mandy is on a low sodium diet for her heart. Josh has no allergies, just a general pickiness that fits in right nicely with us. So, no onions, peppers or tomatoes, either. Mike can’t have melon without Benadryl.

Monday - leftover Chicken Enchilada Soup - sooo yummy

Tuesday - Jambalaya - without the mushrooms… who puts mushrooms in jambalaya?!

Wednesday - leftover jambalaya

Thursday -We’ll be picking them up at the airport around 7 p.m. and then we’ll eat at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Ybor City on the way back. Best soup ever.

Friday -Breakfast - it’s Friday & here in our house, every Friday morning is Chick Fil A morning. We’ll have CFA before we head out for our day at Disney. Lunch and dinner will be at Disney. Woohoo!

Saturday - Breakfast - I’m guessing everyone’s gonna be worn out after Friday’s day at the happiest place on earth, so we’re gonna have pancakes to start our day. … Lunch - grilled chicken sanwiches… Dinner - Mike’s going to grill burgers, and we’ll have all of the yummy sides.

Sunday - Breakfast - homemade waffles or muffins. Group vote.  … Lunch - chicken tacos … We’re heading back to Disney for the Not So Scary Halloween, so we’ll have dinner at Disney.

Working on this menu reminds me of how little thought I put into the nutritional aspects of our meals. I’m gonna have to start working harder at that.

Monday - A home day. We’re going to rest Monday morning, homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We’re going to go paint our own pottery late morning and have the Mongolian Grill for lunch, at Josh’s request. Dinner - pork roast, baked potatoes, fresh veggies.

I’m sure I’ll have to amend this as the week goes along, but this is what we have at this point.

    I’d love to know your recipe for homemade cinnamon rolls. Yummy!

    I’ll be happy to send it to you. We ended up having homemade donuts instead.

    Lucky you! Two days at the happiest place on earth. :)

    They were very happy days! I’m pretty sure they just pump happy right into the air over there.
