Weekly Menu, May 15

Last week was a mess, and in many ways a total disaster. I don't know if it's my age, or my last 12 months of efforts to eat healthier, or simply a string of bad food but this week I felt yucky all week! I am starting to think there's value in combining my birthday with Mothers Day and get it all done at once. The days we did cook at home were difficult because I didn't feel good so I wasn't very motivated. New week, new menu, and new inspiration to stay on track.

On the plus side, I got an AWESOME new printer for my birthday! I haven't had easy access to a printer in years, and I don't think I realized how many things I avoided or found tedious ways to accomplish. Now I can print my weekly menu after making it for easy access each day, which hopefully will make for a better success rate.

I also got a dough hook for my new food processor I got for christmas. I didn't realize the value of my dough hook on my old machine. The book for the new machine said the chopping blade would work just as well. So NOT True! It leaves the dough lumpy and inconsistent. I haven't tried the new blade, but I'm super excited to give it a whirl. I think there's three bread recipes in this weeks menu. I will really be putting it to the test.

	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner
Sunday	roll up pancakes sausage eggs	ham sandwiches Cheetos apple slices	steak kabobs rice broccoli
Monday	waffles eggs	PBJ sandwich watermelon chips	chicken teriyaki meatballs rice stir fry veggies
Tuesday	cinnamon toast HB eggs	cheese & meat skewers Cheetos apple slices	ravioli in white sauce broccoli
Wednesday	pancakes sausage patty	PBN crackers goldfish fruit cup	beef quesadillas corn beans
Thursday	biscuit & jam eggs	turkey & cheese roll up watermelon goldfish	hot dogs homemade buns baked beans baby carrots
Friday	bfast burrito	PBJ sandwich goldfish applesauce	pizza salad
Saturday	oatmeal	hot dogs chips watermelon	Mac N Cheese broccoli & carrots

I think I've got some new things in place to make this week work smoothly. It's the last week of school here for the kids, which will either help me or hurt me. We'll see, but I'm optimistic! We can do this!
