Can I just say I'm so glad we're doing this menu planning project? Because if we weren't, last week would have been when my noble goal coasted a little south, and this week would be when it died a slow and painful death. Seriously, if not for the menu plan last week we may have had cereal for every meal, every day last week for lack of food in the pantry and motivation to fix it...which, you know, isn't such responsible parenting for a growing one year old.
Gramme is here visiting tonight, tomorrow and going home Tuesday. We plan to celebrate accordingly with tasty eats...including making small mommy's yummy mascarpone dip and buying lots of fresh fruit with which to enjoy it.
Monday: FHE at the fountains, including Big Spoon frozen yogurt and who knows what for dinner? Something tasty and random, not eaten at home.
Tuesday: FatBurger, a no frills burger joint at the casino on the Indian Reserve. The Burgers are pretty yummy and the thick fries are to die for, with the shakes coming in a close second. Gramme wants to check it out...and she heard no complaints from us!
Wednesday: Something beef free! Quattro Leoni salad (my absolute favorite!) and loaded baked potatoes (creamy ranch sour cream, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, and chives).
Thursday: lighten it up with grilled fish, cous cous, asian slaw, and a vegetable.
Friday: I know we did take out twice already, but I'm breaking all the rules this week. I'm thinking chinese, or I'll let the hubby grab one of his (disgusting) fast food burgers, give the baby (her favorite) chef boyardi spaghetti rings, and I'll make (a very yummy) salad loaded with veggies and drizzled (err...drenched?) in a sweet and tangy asian sesame dressing.
Saturday: General conference all day, and Jacob has priesthood session in the early evening. I'll probably make sloppy joes for lunch, with left overs for either an early or late dinner and cereal or salad in between.
Sunday: EASTER! Dinner at the in-laws. Yummm.
Breakfast: smoothies, fresh fruit, boiled eggs (of course!)
Snacks: crackers, cheese, fruit
Lunch: pasta salad, grilled cheese, baked beans...keeping it simple and things I can make and serve both me and baby girl
Sweet treat: mascarpone dip, smores

First-I so know what you mean about going south (though Alex has now changed that expression to 'going north'!). With all of the kids home this week I really wanted to just eat out every day.
Second-Jealous you'll be eating tasty food at the in-laws on Easter. Promise you'll think of me. :0)
