I’ve got a pretty busy week ahead of me, getting ready to sell baked goods at our Farmer’s Market and getting ready for our Family Reunion! I’m super excited though and have LISTS like crazy to help keep me organized!!
On my blogging list for the week…
In my “Getting Real With Food” series, I’ll share more about eating healthy on a budget (I’ll give you the break down on what we spend our food money on). Also, I MUST share with you my whole wheat cinnamon roll recipe. They are SO YUMMY!
Visit Organizing Junkie for more menu planning ideas. For sure, because of my hectic week…having my menu planned is even more important than it usually is! (It is not pretty to watch me try to prepare food without a plan.) :)
Seriously, whole wheat cinnamon rolls? I can’t wait! I’ve never been daring enough to attempt swapping out some of the “junk” flour in mine, but I will be trying yours for sure. You’re the best! :-)
So… Here’s what I like to do with fresh spinach. Amounts are variable depending upon your preferences…
spinach
pecans (broken into large pieces)
red onion (very thin slices)
dried cranberries
mandarin orange pieces
feta cheese (crumbled)
raspberry vinagrette dressing
YUM!
Since it’s summer and there is lots and lots of fruit available for cheap, you could also add strawberries, blueberries, etc.
Yum! Looks like a great menu and a great week . . . and I’m excited about your whole wheat recipes!
Enjoy your family reunion . . . ours is in about three weeks and I can’t wait!
Best,
Sarah

Yummy! I can’t wait to read about the cinnamon rolls!!
Oh I’ll take some spinach and lettuce!! I love that fresh out of a garden!
Have a great week! Sell lots at the market! :)
Great menu, everything looks yummy!
Sounds like a busy week coming up, have fun with the family :)
My Menu Plan
It all sounds soooo good. Slushies…mmmm!
:)
The italian roast wraps sound yummy :)
I’m curious – what’s included in your ultimate nacho bar? (I assume it is like a buffet with an assortment of different toppings… as opposed to a granola-bar-type-of dish).
I wish we had a longer cool season in S. CA so I could grow my own lettuce and spinach. Maybe I’ll try when it cools off in the fall and winter.
Your menu looks great! The variety of breakfast choices that you have planned look tasty, especially the pancakes and yogurt. Have a great week!
