March 12- 18, 2017 Meal Plan

Published on March 10, 2017May 30, 2017 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.

I have started trying to do easier meals on days that I have square dancing obligations. This helps me to be able to put a nice meal on the table without feeling guilty about having some much needed ‘Mommy Time’. Some of these meals may also help with those that have busy or irregular schedules due to work or extracurricular activities.

I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

This is a recipe that a dear friend taught me when I was very young. I enjoy making this because it always brings back sweet memories.

We also enjoy the Eggplant Parmesan that another friend told me how to make. I use this as the base and just add to it. Continue reading “Fried Eggplant” →
