Check out this lettuce from our garden!!
I was too excited not to share…
It made a great salad for our lunch today!
If you recall, last week I made the impromptu decision to take a trip to Kansas. I’m SO glad I did. It was a wonderful week. Matt obviously didn’t follow my menu plan last week while I was gone…but sort of scrounged around the fridge and freezers and made do with some things I had stashed away.
So….if it seems like this week’s menu looks an awful lot like last week’s menu…that’s because it is. (Easiest menu I ever planned) :)
Sunday, May 31
Baked oatmeal, peaches
Big chef salad with chicken (with homemade ranch dressing!)
Corn dog muffins, apples, carrots
Monday, June 1
Fried eggs, hashbrowns, grapes
Grilled cheese sandwiches, watermelon, sliced sweet peppers
Beefy enchilada bake, tossed salad, grapes
Tuesday, June 2
Whole wheat waffles
Cheeseburger mac (using this recipe, just with ground beef and chili powder added), steamed carrots

Wednesday, June 3
Fruit-kefir smoothies, homemade oat cereal
Hummus on crispy cheese crackers, strawberry-peach slushies
BBQ meatballs, baked potatoes, green beans
Thursday, June 4
Breakfast cake

You may notice that our Friday night and Saturday menu is a little heavy on the junk food (whoa…chips two meals in a row?). Asa’s birthday party is this weekend…and let’s just say that I would rather feed a bunch of adolescent boys chips as a side dish instead of baked beans. Ya know what I mean? ;)
Make plans to join us Thursday for the Eat More Fruits and Veggies Link-Up. Read about it here!

Great menu plan! Have a wonderful week.
It all looks good to me! :-)
Do you have a recipe for homemade oat cereal? I would definatly love to try it
Your lettuce looks great! We’ll be harvesting lettuce (baby lettuce, that is!) from our garden this week too. I’m so excited!
The beefy enchilada bake sounds very good and easy. I am going to add that to my list of recipes to try!
What a yummy looking menu! We love the crispy cheese crackers of yours! My kids say they taste like Cheese-Its! :D
Have a great week!

Now, that looks WONDERFUL! I would be proud of that lettuce too! Thank you for sharing your great menu!
Oh, Laura, our family enjoyed the Black Bean Taco Salad this evening VERY MUCH. We grilled the chicken. It was really easy, delicious and fresh. It fed all of us (no leftovers). I offered fresh, raw carrots on the side and one serving of mac n cheese for the littlest ones. Thank you for sharing it with us.
