I didn’t make a menu last week. My husband was out of town and things never go according to plan when he’s gone. I didn’t like not having any guidelines though. It just felt a little weird. I don’t always follow my plan, but it’s nice to have some sort of parameters.
So here’s my plan this week:
Breakfasts ~
- Rhubarb scones (extra scone freezer packets) ~ rhubarb is ready to pick at my house!
- Crispy Baked Oatmeal
- Smoothies & Toast
- Pancakes (extra mix for the fridge)
- Eggs & Bison Bacon (A friend gave me this bacon before she moved and I’ve never tried it. I’m curious to see how it tastes!)
- Waffles (extra for the freezer)
- German Pancakes with buttermilk syrup – my kids’ all time FAV breakfast!
Lunches ~
- Sandwiches
- Nachos with beans & cheese
- Egg Salad
- Leftovers
- Cheesy Noodles
Dinners ~
- Grilled chicken
- Baked Penne with Chicken, Broccoli, & Smoked Mozzarella – I didn’t make this a couple of weeks ago.
- Chicken & Beef Fajitas (extra tortilla dough for the freezer)
- Homemade egg rolls
- Southwestern Round Steak
- Homemade Pizza (extra dough for the freezer)
- Ham & Beans (I got the ham bone from my MIL!!) , homemade corn bread
I am finally hitting the Amish Bulk Food Stores this week to replenish my wheat stores. I’m buying natural peanut butter, raw honey, and wheat! I haven’t had freshly ground wheat in about a month now so I’ll be doing a lot of baking this week and hope to get a lot of homemade convenience breakfast packets back in my freezer to simplify breakfasts.
What are you eating this week?

Would it be cheaper to buy peanuts and grind them in your Vitamix?
I don’t know, Melanie. Last time I bought a bag of raw peanuts and ground them in my Vitamix. No one liked the peanut butter. I haven’t looked at roasted peanuts. I’ll have to compare that next time. Some times I just want EASY, though.
