Menu Plan Monday ~ Week of 9/28
I think we are finally settling into our new schedule. It's definitely been a bumpy few weeks, but I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
There are a few new things I'm trying this week with our schedule and eating habits. One of the biggest changes I've had to make is adjusting our eating times and snack routine. We used to eat breakfast around 9:00, lunch at 1:00 and dinner at 6:30 with a 4:00 snack time. Now, the kids are all eating breakfast at 7:00. Isabelle and Alex have a morning snack at school and I've had to add that for the girls at home too. Going from 7:00 to 1:00 is just too long. Our lunch and dinner times have stayed the same, but that might change as time goes on too.
Here's the plan for the week.
Breakfasts
- M - Maple-Brown Sugar Oatmeal
- T - Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
- W - Scrambled Eggs & Toast

Looks like a good week! We're still trying to settle into our schedule too.
I've made those "chicken things" from stolen moments as well. Funny name, but always a hit here.
Your week looks good!
Porcupine meatballs sound interesting! Happy MPM!
Sounds like you have a good hold of your eating schedule. As a mom of a 17 year son I've always had to stay flexible because things change.
You have so many yummy recipes planned for this week's menu.
I love participating in MPM. I get such inspiration from visiting.
I am going to have to try the Chicken Things.
Oh my goodness...Porcupine meatballs!! memories... My mom use to make those. I need to get a recipe!
