Here is my menu plan for the week. It was a really long morning so by the time I got home at 1:30 today, I didn't end up taking pictures of what I bought. I did stay under my budget of $125/week though.
Menu Plan for August 1-August 9
Saturday: Grocery Shopping Day
B- Me: Trim Healthy Mama
Pancakes (E) Kids: Whole Wheat Pancakes
*I added a small amount of the Trim Healthy Mama Sweet Blend to the kids pancakes, 1/2 cup more milk, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. These were good but I liked the Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes I make normally better. I was out of bananas this morning though.
L- Chick-fil-a (We were out grocery shopping all morning & I had no energy to go home and try to figure out what to make for lunch so we ate out.)
D- Homemade Pizza &
Salad (E) Everyone
*Make Cinnamon Rolls for tomorrow morning.
Sunday: Nursery @10AM
B- Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls (Cheat) Everyone
*I changed a few things about this recipe so not sure how they will turn out. I used only whole wheat flour and used Trim Healthy Mama sweet blend in place of sugar. These are in the frig (Saturday night) so all I have to do is pull them out of the frig, let them rise and then bake them. Easy no mess on Sunday morning!
L- Homemade Macaroni &
Cheese (kept warm in the crock pot while we're at church), Green Beans (S)
Everyone
D- Smoothies &
Muffins (Muffin in a Mug for me...Chocolate Zucchini Muffins for the kids) (S) (My husband will be working so keeping dinner
simple)
