Meal Planning

This week, I'm trying to map out meals that the kids can eat on the go. I don't plan on being out and about much, but it's nice to have things pre-packed so I don't need to make time during the middle of the day to actually *make* lunch.

Breakfast this week will be overnight oatmeal, hardboiled eggs, and cereal if people prefer.

Of course, I used the last of the milk just before deciding I needed to make overnight oats. Instead, I used coconut milk, greek yogurt, and carnation instant breakfast. I added a dash of vanilla and oats. To be honest, it seemed thick - so I added about 1/2 cup of water. Cross your fingers for me!

The hardboiled eggs I like best are made in my instant pot. But, I'm using the instant pot to make my own yogurt (cold start, fair life milk) so it has to sit undisturbed for 8 hours. Instead, I just boiled them on the stovetop. One cracked. Darn.

I've got enough coffee to get me to Friday, I think.

Lunch:
M: chicken and veggie, salad, yogurt
T: nut butter sandwich, grapes, yogurt, roasted carrots
W: leftovers
Thur: Tuna Cakes & Veg
Fri: Leftovers
Sat: Ham, Cheese, Crackers, Fruit.

Snacks include fruit, yogurt, cereal bar, cereal, oat cookies, etc.

Dinner:
M: Pizza from Aldi
T: Chicken Drumsticks, Potatoes, Carrots
W: Chicken Pot Pie
Th: Tortellini Soup
Fri: Leftovers
Sat: Quiche (ingredients depending on what's on sale on Friday)

With this meal plan, I won't need to go to the grocery store until Saturday, which is ideal. My hope is to ration $60 toward cleaning products this week to get Target's sale.
