In the Kitchen with Linda & Dinner Menu
Trying out my new and easier meal plan went well last week. To see why I’m simplifying my meal plan, read my post The Sandwich Generation. See my new meal plan, and this weeks menu, below.
In the Kitchen with Linda & Dinner Menu
Breakfasts will be homemade muffins, toast, cottage cheese, fruit
Lunches will be sandwiches (tuna, chicken, or grilled cheese), fruit, pickles, vegetables, or the very occasional chips
Dinners will be:
Monday- baked chicken, baked potato, vegetable
Tuesday- spaghetti with meat sauce, vegetable OR take out pizza once or twice a month, possibly homemade pizza is my daughter makes it
Wedensday- tacos on store bought tortillas, vegetables
Thursday- Chicken, potatoes, carrots in slowcooker
Friday-Hamburgers OR sloppy joes , vegetable – most likely these will be on homemade buns
Weekends will be more flexible, or leftovers. Fish, breakfast for supper, and a couple of family favorites that don’t fit into the assigned days, or that take longer to prepare. When fall and winter hits, soups and stews will take the place of some of these options.
My daughter made Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy last week. It’s a favorite with all the kids. Ok, I like it, too! We don’t eat it regularly, so I don’t worry too much about it being chocolate. 🙂
Now…. to answer the question that I get asked about a hundred times a day……….What’s For Dinner?

Saturday – Sabbath- Make ahead meals- Fish filets and tater tots
