April Menu Plan

Well, for what’s left of April, I guess.

After looking at all sorts of online menu planning dealios (like Big Oven and Minute Meal Plan) I think I’ve decided the easiest way for me to keep track of meals and recipes is through blogging and linking.  I NEED to get this area of my life organized before the new baby gets here or we will all die from too much Taco Bell.  :)

Here goes:

Breakfasts:

M – Soaked Oatmeal

T – Bagels w/ Cream Cheese or Pancakes/Waffles

W – Mango Lassies (made w/ kefir) and sausages

Th – French Toast Casserole

F – Quinoa (with berries sometimes)

S- Cereal and Milk

Sun – Eggs and Meat

Lunches:

M – Costco Hot Dogs or Bean Burritos

T – Leftovers

W – Tuna or Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Th – Tostadas

F – PB and J

S – quesadillas (plain, chorizo, etc.)

Sun – out to lunch?
