January 29-February 4, 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.

This week I have a couple of new/old and forgotten recipes to try. I will mark them with a ** so you will know which ones they are.

Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks

This is a new take on an old recipe that I’ve had. The kids (and myself) love breadsticks. I especially love the Cheesy Bread from Hungry Howies. This may not be quite as good but my kids don’t complain and neither do I as it is much easier than driving 20-30 minutes one way for an order.

My mouth is watering just typing in this recipe. Continue reading “Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks”

Black Bean Soup

Beans are usually fairly cheap and we like to eat them so I try to include them every week or every other week. The leftovers can be used up during the week for a variety of other things or they can be frozen for later.

You can cook them pretty much like Pintos but sometimes I like to add a few extras to them. Continue reading “Black Bean Soup”
