Our Menu (Week of May 6, 2012)

This morning’s strawberry pineapple smoothie

I’m doing a lot of my own thing this week when it comes to meals.  I feel like I need a mini-detox after the last few weeks of crazy food consumption (large portions, dinner out, snacking OFTEN).  I’ll be sticking with a lot of smoothies for breakfast and salads for lunch.  But I still made a detailed plan for the little family.  Here’s what’s on our menu this week:

Breakfasts

• Fluffy buttermilk pancakes, pineapple, o.j.
• Strawberry pineapple smoothies, multi-grain toast
• Baked apple oatmeal, melon, milk x 2
• Baked apple cider doughnuts, strawberries, warm beverage (thinking about what I’d like to serve with these doughnuts other than cider)
• Green monster smoothies, banana bread
• Biscuits n’ gravy, pineapple, o.j.

Lunches

• Leftovers x 2 plus fruit
• P.b and jelly, fruit, yogurt
• Shredded pork sandwiches, apples, pasta salad
• Parmesan pesto grilled cheese w/avocado, fruit salad,
• Snack-ey lunch
• Couscous w/veggies, fruit salad

Dinners

• Dinner out brought in (Ty was out on the boat with Munchie all day so they brought dinner home )
• Slow cooker pork tenderloin (kind of scared of this, but giving it a shot), homemade applesauce, savory bread, broccoli
• Buttermilk chicken fingers, roasted red potatoes & asparagus
• Creamy chicken in patty shells, simple salad, corn on the cob

Snacks

Freezer Cooking Session:  I don’t do a traditional once-a-month session, but generally choose 2 or 3 recipes. 

• Slow cooker applesauce
