Meal Plans: Because We Have to Eat

I dream of meals that are quick, easy, healthy, and delicious.  Why?  Because just when you make one yummy meal, it gets eaten, and you have to make another one in a few hours, and the next day, and the next day...

This can be stressful.  Sometimes, the concoctions I come up with just don't work.  I have realized that whenever I have a plan, there is less stress and the meals are so much better.

So, since we all have to eat and I have a hungry family to feed, here are some ideas for meals.

Quick Breakfasts:  My husband and older kids wake before me, so they make their own breakfasts on normal days.  Their favorites are:

Cereal, Oatmeal, 10-Grain Hot Cereal with Bananas, Egg and Cheese Sandwich, Toast with Eggs


Lunch:  Often we have leftovers, soup, egg sandwiches, turkey or ham sandwiches, veggie sandwiches, grilled cheese, quesodillas, noodles with sauce...
Dinners:  

Sunday-  Pork chops with Maple Syrup and Apples/ Brown Rice/ Veggie


Monday-  Stir-fry with Brown Rice and egg rolls or potstickers

Tuesday- Tacos or Fajitas

Wednesday- Chicken Pot Pies with Salad

Thursday-  Chuckwagon Stew with Biscuits (Beef stew that was made famous by RVR- River Valley Ranch)  

Friday- Paninis (Bacon or Turkey, Avocadoes, Roasted Red Peppers, Spinach, Onion, Mayo) we use a George Forman grill

Saturday- Spinach and Venison (or Beef) Lasagna


If you want one of the recipes above that does not have a link, just comment, and I can post it.
