It's the last week of summer break at my house. We're feeling really excited about starting up school again! Because we are packing in a lot of fun this week, the meals are going to be really simple. Here's what we are eating this week!
MONDAY
breakfast: oatmeal with frozen blueberries
lunch: cottage cheese with crackers, fresh tomatoes and fresh peaches
dinner: whole wheat spaghetti with jarred tomato sauce, green beans from the garden, green salad with garden vegetables, bread with butter, fresh cut peaches

TUESDAY
breakfast: peanut butter oatmeal
lunch: leftover spaghetti, bread with garden pesto and fresh tomatoes
dinner: crock pot lasagne (I will use cottage cheese instead of ricotta and no meat to make is less expensive) green salad, fresh grapes from our garden
WEDNESDAY
breakfast: oatmeal pancakes with fresh peaches on top
lunch: green smoothies, crackers and cheese
dinner: little cesears pizza (we will be headed out on a trip and won't have time to make or clean up dinner)
THURSDAY-SUNDAY
Grandparents are in charge while I go camping for 4 days. Kids will be eating whatever grandma and grandpa eat. I'll be eating simple food like crackers, salami, cheese, hummus, fresh fruits and vegetables and granola bars.
