Menu Plan Week of Feburary 26-March 3, 2012

Good Saturday evening!  I finished my menu plan in record time this week!  I guess because I didn't have to plan from lunch Friday through dinner Saturday.  Todd is leading a marriage retreat for the soldiers in his unit Friday-Sunday in Chattanooga, TN.  All our meals will be out this weekend.  Not too sure how I feel about that.  I try to make as many whole food meals for my family and stay away from processed things.  Kinda hard to do when you're eating out.  And salads aren't always at the top of my list of things to order at a restaurant.  Maybe I can get us to some restaurants that will have some good choices.  Its worth a shot, right?

We're babysitting our new neighbor's boys Thursday evening so they can have a date before he goes away for a month next weekend.  Hence the hot dogs and mac and cheese offering.  Dad and I will be having a wonderful soup.  Easy dinner for right before traveling.  :)

Enjoy the menu for this week - I hope you can find something new to try on your family!
