My First Menu Plan Monday While Ditching the Restaurant Food

Okay so this isn't exactly Monday but life happens and menu plan Tuesday just doesn't sound as good. (Roll with me here.)

Breakfasts: muffins, toaster waffles, toaster strudel, cereal, oatmeal, grits, eggs and bacon, fruit

These are eaten throughout the week and I normally make the eggs and bacon on weekends. Often I also make homemade biscuits, pancakes, waffles, sausage and fried potatoes on weekends. My kids are big morning people so something that is easy to fix and not heavy on the stomach are best on weekdays.

Lunches: salad and baked chicken breast or leftovers for me, school lunch for girls, sandwich/chips/yogurt/fruit/juice for the boys and hubby

This weekend lunch is: soup and sandwich, corn dogs(or hot dogs) and tater tots and fruit

Dinners:
Tuesday-meatloaf, green beans, carrots, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls
Wednesday-homemade hamburgers and baked fries
Thursday-homemade Chinese: egg drop soup, egg rolls(frozen), stir fry/sweet and sour chicken, rice
Friday-salad, homemade pizza (we're going to try it)

Desserts:
strawberry trifle
oatmeal raisin cookies
chocolate chip cookies


I know you are thinking; Where's all the vegetables, where's the fruit? Isn't the objective to get rid of the junk food? Yes, you are absolutely right. But this involves tiny baby steps or else mommy (AKA me) will lose her mind.
Just remember January's challenge is to eat out only once a week. So far so good and we are 13 days into the month. WooHoo! Now if eating fast food or restaurant food isn't a problem for you then great but for us it is a huge problem. What's on your menu?
