Menu Plan Monday

I have been consistently making menu plans for a while again. Now that I am trying to feed us more traditionally...more whole foods, more natural meals, I have to plan more. Since breakfast is no longer a bowl of boxed cereal, I also have to plan for that. Most of the things I make for breakfast also require preparation, too.

So here is is my plan for breakfast, dinner and whatever I need to do to prepare for the next day or prepare for later in the week.


Monday

Breakfast
toast (with today's homemade bread) and eggs, kefir smoothies
Dinner
potatoes au gratin and ham, corn
Prep
thaw corned beef, make yogurt


Tuesday

Breakfast
homemade yogurt and granola parfaits with frozen berries
Dinner
corned beef, cabbage, potatoes anc carrots, irish soda bread
Prep
bake soda bread in afternoon, mill flour and soak for waffles, thaw chickens


Wednesdayday

Dinner
roast chicken, mashed potatoes, fried cabbage with bacon, roasted beets

Friday

Love your plan. It makes it all seem so do-able! I was glad to see your leftover night! I saw all those fabulous evening meals and kept wondering..."Won't there be some fabulous leftovers in there?". Of course, I have to confess that leftovers are my favorite thing to eat for lunch the next day or to reinvent for another meal. I was thinking of an idea for your St. Patrick's Day leftovers and remembered my Ham Hodpodge Soup that would be great with the corned beef subbed for the ham. http://kathycalculatespotluck.blogspot.com/2007/10/ham-hodgepodge.html
