Menu Plan July 5

Last week, we didn’t have the crockpot Cantonese sweet and sour chicken.  When I looked at the fridge on Friday morning, I noticed we had many leftovers.  So I decided that Friday night was left-over night. 

It’s going to be a semi-busy week.  The boys have enjoyed attending various Vacation Bible Schools, so I have signed them up for one.  It’s in the evenings, so I can prepare things for the Imaginative One’s birthday, go grocery shopping without them, and clean the house.  They don’t have much going on during the mornings this week, so the Imaginative One is looking forward to being able to sleep in most of the week.

Next Sunday is the Imaginative One’s seventh birthday!  I can’t believe he is going to be that old.  He has asked to watch Despicable Me for his birthday and go to Wendy’s for lunch.  We are going to celebrate with some friends from church that evening.  He’s also planning out his pirate cake.  When we get it finished, I will create a post about it.

Onto the menu for this week:

Breakfasts:

Cereals, muffins, mini-pancakes

Lunches:

Sandwiches (meat or peanut butter), left-overs

Dinners:

Roast chicken in a crockpot, mashed potatoes, veggies, and easy rolls – Use the left-over chicken for the quesadillas.

Monterrey Chicken Quesadillas or Chicken Ranch Quesadillas for the grown-ups – Plain cheese ones for the children (The Wee One told me that we haven’t had quesadillas in a while, so I’m putting it on the menu.)  This will probably be on Wednesday.  I’ve got to go pick up my mom from the airport, so this will be a quick meal that I can bring with me if necessary.

Sloppy Joes on homemade hamburger buns, chips, oven fries, potato chips, fresh veggies

Cantonese Sweet and Sour Chicken over rice

Egg Sandwiches, fresh fruit, hash brown

left-overs or forge for yourself

Dinner at in-laws (Sunday)
