Menu Plan thru July 21, 2013

Our family had such a wonderful relaxing weekend that I completely forgot to menu plan for this coming week!  Whoops!  Luckily, I had started on some sort of outline earlier last week so I have a general idea.

We've been starting to harvest vegetables from our garden!!  I also signed us up for a produce co-op.  Maybe it's not really a co-op because we aren't contributing anything but every other week a bin of fresh fruits and veggies shows up at my door.  It's awesome!  We've only had 2 bin deliveries so far but I can already tell that I like it!  This week a few things came that I don't normally buy so it's pushing my creative limits....like kale and bib lettuce.  I can say without a doubt that I don't buy some of the items at the store because they don't look very appealing...but the head of lettuce I received this week is beautiful...literally.  Anyway, all of this is make menu planning more fun and challenging.



Monday-Peanut Butter & Jelly, pretzels and grapes  (believe it or not, that is really what I wrote down.  Thankfully, we are a family that genuinely likes peanut butter and jelly)

Tuesday-Zucchini Pizzas

Wednesday- Sweet Chicky Nuggets.  Josh and I will be eating ours in the form of a salad, tater tots and fresh cantaloupe

Thursday-Savory Chicken Pies

Friday-Out with Papa

Also, I need to figure out what to do with kale?!

I haven't planned as far as the weekend yet....I'll be looking at Organizational Junkie for a few ideas to round out the week!

Happy Cooking!
