Weekly Menu Plan

Breakfasts

Everyone is responsible for making/cleaning up their own breakfasts. Choices include:

Oatmeal, Cereal, Yogurt, Toast, Fruit, Fried/Scrambled/Hard Boiled Eggs, Veggie Omelets, Smoothies

Lunches

Someone gave us a huge box of summer sausages, cheeses, and nuts as a Christmas gift. Because of the craziness of the coming week, I am unashamedly serving the contents of that box for most of our lunches! I’ll supplement it with some crackers, fresh fruit and veggies and call it good. 🙂 We’ll do leftovers as needed, and to mix it up a little.

Dinners

Taco Salad, Riced Cauliflower

Homemade Pepperoni Pizza, Tossed Salad

Baked Chicken Nuggets, Roasted Zucchini, Tossed Salad, Baked Potatoes

Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche (something like this), Crescent Rolls, Roasted Broccoli

Hamburger Vegetable Soup (I’ll use ground venison), Biscuits

Christmas Banquet at Church (dinner provided)

Leftovers
