I’m working on my monthly menu for November and will post it next Monday. This is what’s left on my menu for October and what I’m thinking for this week.

Breakfasts ~

• Maple Pumpkin Granola
• German Pancakes
• Muffins (extra for the freezer)
• French Toast (on homemade bread)
• Homemade Toaster Waffles (from my freezer)

Lunches ~

• Bean burritos (homemade tortillas from my freezer)
• Leftovers
• PB & J
• Meat & Cheese sandwiches (salami from my freezer)
• Tuna sandwiches

Dinners ~ {from my Pinterest October Meal Board}

• Balsamic Chicken
• Eggs N Hash
• Slow Cooker Beef Stew
• Bacon Beans & Taters Bake
• Family Movie & Pizza Night

On Halloween, I’m making the Beef Stew. Our family tradition is to invite Grandma and Grandpa over for a hearty soup and then all go trick-or-treating together – or sometimes Grandma and Grandpa stay here and pass out candy and we hit the streets. My hope is that eating a solid meal before trick-or-treating helps curb candy eating. I don’t know that it works, but it’s a good thought.  Since Grandma & Grandpa live in the country, they never see trick-or-treaters. This lets them see our kids in their costumes and gets them to help out with the craziness that is Halloween. It’s a win-win in my book!

Do you have any Halloween traditions?
