January 22-28, 2017 Meal Plan

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 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.

Pumpkin Muffins

This is a great way to use up any frozen pumpkin you may have in the freezer. You don’t have frozen pumpkin? Am I the only one with an overabundance of frozen pumpkin? Don’t answer that, please. If you don’t have the frozen you can use canned pumpkin.

I have also added the instructions for a crumb topping which is optional. My kids love muffins, especially Cinnamon muffins, so I add this to them to keep them happy. Continue reading “Pumpkin Muffins”

My kids love muffins, especially cinnamon muffins. These are super easy to whip up and the cinnamon sugar topping makes them extra special. These are good served for breakfast or as snacks. Continue reading “Cinnamon Muffins”

Banana Crumb Muffins

We have muffins several times throughout the month. They are so easy to make and can be eaten for breakfast or snack throughout the day. This is a good way to use up those overripe bananas sitting in the fruit bowl too!

The kids really like this recipe and refer to it as them as Banana Cinnamon Muffins. I changed the original around a little as I was running low on supplies one day and surprisingly enough it worked out just fine. You could also add some chopped nuts to the batter if you like.
