A Week of Lunches


Okay this is not a post to flaunt how I prepare our weekly lunches. Everyone has their own way of doing things. A few of you have requested a post on how I make a week of lunches. Sunday is my day to make lunches for the whole entire week. This actually only takes me the max, an hour and half. Not too bad when you don't have to make lunches every. single. day. Also, this helps us to eat and snack healthy throughout the week. If I don't prepare I will go for unhealthy snacks or lunches. I will do my best to post our weekly lunch. 



The Kids Lunch






Our Lunch


I put a package of chicken in the crockpot and pour any marinade over it. Cook between 6-8 hours. Take out and cool. 



Lunch:
  • Chicken and sautéed vegetables. This week I did peppers, zucchini, squash and onions.
  • Oranges
  • Carrots
  • Trail mix (for Jeremy)


Snack:
  • Apples and peanut butter. I divide peanut butter into separate containers.
  • Zone Perfect bars. 




Breakfast:



The kids love to have some kind of breakfast bread or muffins for breakfast.
The key to this bread is immediately wrap it in foil when it comes out of the oven and place in the freezer. It will make the bread really moist. Also, we love throwing in a package of chocolate chips.

1/25/16 - 2/1/16 Menu Plan

                                                

Well some of the recipes from my last menu plan were never made. We received some ice and snow, so of course I had to make soup. At least for two meals. :) 
For some of the recipes I will add the link. Most of the recipes I have made and we love them. The broccoli and cheese soup is new.

Monday - Crock pot Hawaiian chicken/broccoli/rice
http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2011/06/crock-pot-hawaiian-bbq-chicken.html
This recipe is so easy. It only requires 3 ingredients!

Tuesday - Spaghetti squash with meat sauce/bread/salad

Wednesday - Broccoli and cheddar soup/baguette
http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2015/09/panera-broccoli-cheese-soup.html
I haven't made this one yet. I am going to substitute the half and half for 2% milk. Less fat. I will use frozen broccoli.

Thursday - Hudson's tilapia/cous cous/asparagus

Friday - Homemade pizza

Saturday - Burgers with Rachel Ray's Hot Mess sauce/sweet potato fries
http://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipe/the-hot-mess-burger/


Sunday - Stuffed shells/salad/bread

Monday - Crock pot cranberry pork roast/green beans/rice
http://newleafwellness.biz/2012/11/15/slow-cooker-cranberry-pork-roast/
I double this sauce recipe.
Another easy crock pot meal. Like I said before, I will have at least two crock pot meals a week.

Let me know if you try any of the recipes. I would love your feedback.
