Make sure you read the introduction prior to reading this post.
The meals for this week are not too exciting nor are they that different from the last few weeks. I’m starting to learn two things: 1) I need recipes for different types of breakfasts. I’m on the lookout for a good breakfast cookie and some different types of muffins and 2) the recipes from the Aldi menu planner are actually quite good. I’m excited to try some more of them (2012 edit: I think the menu planner is now defunct).
So, here’s what the family will be dining on this week:
Breakfast: yogurt, french toast, cereal, bagels, eggs, OJ and milk
Lunch: lentil stew, noodle soup, leftovers, veggie straws (free from my parents), pretzels, baby carrots, fruit, hummus
Dinner: General tso’s chicken (bumped from week 5), pizza, horseradish hamburgers with baked potatoes, spaghetti pie, tortilla black bean casserole, chick pea macaroni, and cajun lentils with rice. The recipes were taken from the Aldi menu planner and my own cookbooks.
Snacks: Veggie straws, pretzels, crackers, fruit (pears, apples, bananas and oranges), baby carrots, snow day peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, ice cream
Drinks: water, pink lemonade, iced tea, OJ, milk, fruit punch for my daughter
