Menu plan!

Not that I have ever been a light eater, but now that I am pregnant and nursing, cooking and eating feels like an almost-full-time operation. Since I have not been feeling well though, I have been eating more convenience food and less fruits and veggies than I would like. My solution!? A menu plan! I am sure I will deviate from it somewhat based on what I am in the mood for, but I can look at it and be reminded of the options I have. =) Here it is: 

Tuesday-Morning Glory Muffins, peaches
                Black bean salsa with chips
                Spaghetti, tossed salad, garlic bread

Wednesday- Fruit smoothies, scrambled eggs
                Grilled cheese sandwiches, carrot sticks, sliced tomatoes
                Whole chicken in crock pot, mashed potatoes, gravy, steamed broccoli

Thurs- Morning glory muffins, cantaloupe
                Leftovers
                Shepherd's Pie (with leftover potatoes), tossed salad

Friday- Whole wheat pancakes, peaches
                Chicken rice soup in crock pot
                Chicken enchilada casserole, lettuce and tomatoes, sour cream and salsa

Sat- Hashbrowns with fried eggs, grapes
                Celery with peanut butter,  leftovers
                Sloppy lentils, rice, sliced tomatoes, fried okra

Sunday- Cheesy eggs, fruit smoothies
                Crockpot chicken, rice, green beans
                Dinner at church

Snacks are also essential to my well-being! The staple snacks I rely on are: leftovers, cheese or cheese sticks, fruit, scrambled cheesy egg burrito, nuts, peanut butter sandwich. That's all I can think of right now! This menu does not reflect the fact that I always eat two breakfasts, and one of them is usually eggs in some form. 
Any easy snack ideas you want to share?

  1. I'm so glad to be back home and have internet again so I can read your blog! :) That is quite the ambitious menu - you go girl!

    Some easy snack ideas - whole milk yogurt, creme fraiche with a little honey and some nuts, (you can get the whole milk yogurt and creme fraiche at the farmers' market), banana slathered with some peanut butter, deviled eggs, popcorn with cheese and butter, canned sardines (so good for you and baby if you can eat them), pudding (I have a raw milk recipe!).

    Will miss seeing you this next Lord's Day! Love and hugs to you my sweet friend - may the Lord bless you abundantly!
