Elias’ seventh birthday is today…so we’ve had a big party filled weekend. It started with a sleepover on Friday night…and ended with our own family celebration today. The birthday boy always gets to plan the entire menu for his birthday. The boys think this is a very big privilege and begin planning weeks in advance.
Here’s what Elias chose for Sunday…and what I chose for the rest of the week:
Sunday, Jan. 18 (I’m thinking a few fruits and veggies are in order here, what do you think?)
Homemade cinnamon rolls, milk
Homemade pizza (“with olives and pepperoni”)
Nachos, birthday cheesecake
Monday, Jan. 19
Whole wheat waffles, milk
Spanish rice with chicken, canteloupe
Cheesy turkey sausage stromboli, tossed salad
Tuesday, Jan. 20
Banana bread, applesauce
Taco potatoes, clementines
Lasagna, tossed salad, corn
Wednesday, Jan. 21
Scrambled eggs, toast, apples
Melting snowflakes, strawberry-peach slushies
Crunchy ranch chicken, stir fried rice and veggies
Thursday, Jan. 22
Fruit and kefir smoothies, toast
Veggie omelets, canned peaches
Chicken and biscuits
Friday, Jan. 23
Rice pudding, bananas
Homemade mac and cheese, mixed veggies
Italian roast wraps, fruit salad
Saturday, Jan. 24
Breakfast cookies, pears
Grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup
Swiss steak over rice, green beans

Oh, I’m glad to hear there are more sourdough tips coming! My bread was ok, but not great. I realize now that I needed more flour, but being a bread baking novice, I don’t know if that’s the only thing I need to change! I’m a little iffy on knowing when each rise is finished.
I’ve always been intimidated by bread and frustrated with my results, but practice makes perfect, right?
WOW You do breakfast, lunch and dinner. AWESOME! Adding you to my blog roll.
I love that you have breakfast lunch and dinner on here. Awesome. How do you make crunchy ranch chicken?
Hello!
Your menu sounds so yummy. The taco potatoes sound delicious.
Take Care,

Your menu this week sounds really good. I have been wanting to make homemade cinnamon rolls for a long time. I have found several great recipes on the internet and I can’t wait to try them. I also saw the recipe for the taco potatoes. That is definitely something I know my family will like. Thank you so much for providing the recipe.
Take care!
I love homemade macaroni & cheese! Great menu!
Love the menu plan.
Also had to say our family is now a convert to breakfast cake. Sooo yummy!
