menu plan monday
It’s been forever since I’ve made one of these lists, and it’s oddly comforting. Much as I enjoyed the holidays, it is always nice to get settled back into a routine in January. It’s time to get back to cooking healthier meals and spending more quality time around the table together.
Sunday - cinnamon rolls for breakfast… crazy lunch… spinach chicken tortellini soup for dinner (yum)
Monday - spaghetti
Tuesday - choose your leftover night
Wednesday - homemade macaroni and cheese … a healthy version from the Food Network magazine. We’ll see how it goes.
Thursday - lemon pepper chicken with broccoli couscous
Friday - dinner out
Eliza wants lunchables every day for lunch (which isn’t going to happen), and Griff wants BBQ chicken calzones (which will). I’m going to make Flu Fighter Cookies from the Food Network Magazine to hand out for breakfast. Neither kid wants to eat breakfast these days, so maybe the lure of a cookie will be enough. I’ll omit the nuts and add extra dried fruit. They can snack on these in the car on the way to school. This post over at Cookie Madness points out that the cookies probably won’t really fight the flu, but it also notes that they taste pretty groovy.

It probably wasn’t a good idea to catch up on your blog while skipping lunch.
Those Flu Fighter cookies sound yum…only raisins make Wog throw up. (It’s funny, really.) Maybe I can make some substitutions & come up with something that will entice the kiddos!
Compared to what I’m working on right now (the family budget), menus DO sound relaxing. I need to write one. Funny about the Lunchables. My daughter likes them too and prefers the least nutritious ones of all like the nachos. The Flu Fighter cookies are great….even without raisins.
