Menu Plan Monday

I've been slacking on the menu planning for the past little while. But, I need to get back into it I think, because all too often I have just been grabbing a granola bar when I'm hungry and not making real food.


Breakfast: Bagel/cream cheese; Blueberry pancakes; granola

Lunch/Dinner: Italian chicken sausage barley soup; Potatoes au Gratin; Baked breaded chicken; Braised veggies; Sweet potato fries; Baked beans with hot dogs; Orange chicken and rice.

Not a whole lot of ideas, but hopefully will be something to flesh out my go to snacks of granola bars and fruit cups, supplemented heavily by ginger-lemon tea for my sore throat and cough, because, I am sick again. Stupid flu.


Dogs and cat are having elk scraps, turkey, and goat liver this week.

  1. I'm with you on this one. When I fail to plan we tend to eat out way too often. As we head into the holidays I plan to make it a priority to plan my weekly menus.

  4. I'm trying to get better at menu planning, but mostly that means buying frozen lunches in bulk. Go team.

    As a side note, Skye has been eating raw for almost 2 weeks now, and going great! I'll be writing up a blog post soon, but I barely have time to sit down at the moment. Thanks for all your help!

  6. Feel better soon.
    It's soup weather for sure.

    We have started getting into the freezer for berries and tomatoes. A little bit of summer on a winter day, good stuff!

  7. Mmm sweet potato fries!

    Thanks for your comment...I think that the orange chicken should probably be precooked a bit just because otherwise the breading won't stick. If you just want a plain chicken chunk with orange sauce you could totally skip the flour, oil and cooking!

  8. Hope you are feeling better soon.

    We've been using E-mealz for the past three months and love it. We get a menu each week along with the recipes and shopping list. I'm really getting spoiled because I no longer have to plan out my meals.
