Menu Plan – December 8-21

What a lovely weekend we have had celebrating my hubby’s birthday. My parents took the girl and Aaron and I just hung out and rested at home. We ordered take out and just enjoyed ourselves. It was one of our favorite times together without going anyway and hardly spending a thing!

Well, it has been a bit of time since I last posted my menu plan, but I am getting back into the routine as it is good accountability for me. I have been a little lazy lately and running by the seat of my pants. Thanks to Stephanie’s lead, I have decided to start posting my two week menu plan to simplify things a bit. I normally have a monthly list of ideas that I buy supplies and ingredients for, and that helps keep me in budget, but I always like throwing in a new recipe now and again. Breakfasts and lunches remain roughly the same each week.

Tuesday: Soaked Oatmeal, apples, raisins, bananas
Wednesday: Kefir Smoothies, toast, eggs

    I have heard that spaghetti squash is so delicious, and I have been wanting to cook it for the longest. The link to the recipe sounds so good that I printed it out and I plan on using it soon. Lovely menu. Lots of variety.

    What do you eat on Sundays?

      I usually either make a larger batch of something during the week and bring it to our Sunday shared meal after church or we will just have various leftovers or pick up something quick and easy after church.
