This is going to be kind of an odd week for us. I planning on cooking dinner only three nights as we have several evening activities going on this week.
This week, I decided to add in my afternoon snack plan in addition to my usual breakfast, lunch, and dinners. Every day, my daughter gets off the bus starving, and I have found that it makes my life much easier if I plan out ahead of time what to feed her every day! (It also allows me to make healthier choices instead of grabbing the first thing I find in the pantry!) I don't plan snacks for Saturday or Sunday because our weekends are so crazy, we usually don't end up needing them.
So, with that said, here's what we'll be eating this coming week! (Remember, the lunches listed are only for my daughter who is in elementary school. My younger daughter and I usually just eat what we find in the fridge!)
Sunday
