Menu Planning My Butt Off with the Sisterhood

in Menu Planning

Over at the Sisterhood, we’ve recently begun menu planning! In effort to maintain my sanity, I’ve menu-planned sporadically in the past. I know it works, I just need to actually sit down and do it! So this weekend, I sat down and opened up Say Mmm, and got down to business!

Because my son is on the Feingold Diet, all of my recipes tend to be Feingold stage 2 friendly.

Sun, 9/11
Crispy Buttermilk Chicken
Mashed potatoes
Green beans

Mon, 9/12
Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with steamed broccoli
I will use regular whole wheat fettuccine for this recipes, as opposed to the refrigerated pasta.

Tue, 9/13
Dinner out: Subway

Wed, 9/14
Hot Dogs with Mac N Cheese & Canned Green Beans
We eat Hebrew National hotdogs (they come in a reduced fat version), Annie’s Organic Mac n Cheese, and organic canned greens beans.

Thu, 9/15
Easy Fried Rice, served with steamed green beans

Fri, 9/16
Basic Pizza Crust Recipe for a homemade pizza. I sub 1/2 of the white flour for King Aurthur White Wheat flour to make the crust a little healthier! I use a basic jarred organic marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni.

Saturday, 9/17
Dinner OUT!

Breakfasts:
Savory Breakfast Muffins
Blueberry Muffins
Fruit and yogurt smoothies

If you’re a menu planner, you can link up over at the Sisterhood each Sunday

    yummy!! 

    Menu planning keeps me sane! 

    and then today, I went to the produce store and got a great deal on sweet baby peppers – so the menu may change up already!! 

    and I finally got into pinterest: http://pinterest.com/jeninreallife/

    I have a foods section with all the recipes I want to make!!

      YAY for Pinterest! I’m heading over to follow you from both accounts!

      Thanks Jill! I’m a very sporadic poster over here, but I’m trying to find more time :) The Sisterhood (and life) keeps me pretty busy.

    Yum!  And welcome back to bloggy-land.  Though I should be talking, huh?  I only post SJ stuff anymore, and I’m probably 3 weeks behind reading blogs.  But anyway, what were we talking about again???  :)
