Meal Plan Monday Jan 28-Feb 3

Ever since having kids I've planned out our menu's.  My only problem is sticking to them.  Something would happen, or my mood would cause my tastes to change that day and we'd veer from the plan and get creative.  Creativity is wonderful, don't get me wrong.  But in this case, I need to learn to be more consistent,  stick to my plan and teach my children how to plan and follow it.  So, meal planning is once again in full force.

A little background... my hubby works a wonky schedule and is only home for dinner about half the time.  I always find that on those nights it is hard for me to get motivated to make "nice" meals for my family.  It is always so much easier to just scramble some eggs and make toast, or pull out the box cereal.  My kids would love that too, but they are becoming more picky with their food likes and dislikes, so it is time to get a little more strict, and get my great adventurous eaters back.  I am easing into it, by using some very kid friendly meals on days when the hubs isn't joining us, but also things that are great re-heated as hubs loves leftovers.  So on to the meal plan...
