Our menu through 10/20/2011

Most of these recipes are meatless. The only exception would be the chicken recipe at the beginning of the menu and 3 instances where there is ground turkey. I’ll put an asterisk by those. The majority of the recipes can be found here, and if you don’t find them, just ask me for any that you’d like.

Breakfasts aren’t set beforehand, but are usually cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, French toast, or some kind of egg dish. They’re very carby, typically, I admit. Snacks are made up of fruits and veggies, for the most part. I cook as much as I can from scratch, but I use canned beans in the bean recipes and spaghetti sauce/boxed pasta from the grocery store, typically.
