Menu Plan for the MEN

I’m going on a tiny little trip to visit a couple of my sisters-in-law for part of this week! I’ve cooked and baked ahead a little so that the men won’t have to work too hard in the kitchen figuring out what to eat while I’m gone. Matt assures me that they’ll all be fine…but I feel better knowing that at least I can make things a little bit easier by leaving food ready to warm up.

Here are some of their choices:

• Scrambled eggs
• Cereal
• Yogurt
• Whole wheat frozen waffles
• Mac and cheese
• Hot dogs
• Zucchini bread
• Banana bread
• Honey whole wheat bread for toast or sandwiches
• Beef and cheese burritos
• Corn dog muffins
• Chicken and rice casserole
• Homemade pizza pockets

And of course, there are lots of frozen and fresh fruits and veggies  (Matt does a great job feeding the boys veggies when I’m gone. It’s very impressive.)

The funniest thing to me about when I have to be gone and Matt feeds the boys is that I’ll come home and the boys will say something like, “Oh Mom! Daddy made the BEST burritos for lunch today!” Uh-huh, he sure did. It’s okay, I’ll let him have the credit. They’re having a great time with their Daddy after all… :)

I’ve been writing ahead too, so posts will continue as normal this week. But let’s just get it straight that I wrote the posts…not Daddy. Although that would be fun sometime wouldn’t it? Maybe Matt could give a construction tutorial? I’m sure you would all find that fascinating. It would kind of give a new meaning to Heavenly Home-Makers.

I think we’ll stick with the other kind of Heavenly Homemaking, unless you start begging me for a “How to Install a New Toilet” post, and then I can make arrangements.
