Menu Plan Monday - April 19

In an effort to become more organized... I'm going to attempt start weekly Menu Plan Monday. This should be a no brainer for me, given that once upon a time I was considered anal retentive regarding organization and tidiness... let's just say that having children + a giant Saint Bernard + in home daycare has changed my standards a bit. :)

I'm still planning freezer meals... hopefully I will have a full launch in early May.  Many of our meals are ones that I have chosen with advanced prep in mind.

All meals are served with Organic, Whole, Non-Homogenized Milk.  Raw is best!

Breakfast: 
Oatmeal, Mixed Berries (previously frozen)
Brown Rice with Cranberries & Almonds
Baked Oatmeal Squares & Raw Applesauce/slices
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Toast with Fruit Salad (Bread recipe link at end of post)
Honey Whole Wheat Sourdough Pancakes & Berry Compote
Dry Cereal Day w/ Bananas (We keep select cereals on hand for now)
Eggs anyway day... usually a Saturday or Sunday treat. With Whole Wheat Toast & Fruit of choice

Lunch:
Whole Wheat Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Organic Garden Salad, Organic Baby Carrots
Homemade Mac & Cheese Bake w/ Broccoli & Organic Garden Salad
Turkey Flatbread Sandwich, Tomatoes & Organic Garden Salad 
Black Beans w/ Rice & Shredded Cheese, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Carrot & Celery Sticks
Scrambled Eggs w/ Whole Wheat Toast, Fruit Salad & Organic Garden Salad
Cheese Quesadilla's, Veggie Sticks & Apple Slices
Tuna & Crackers, Organic Garden Salad & Fruit Salad
