This week is very busy for me, which means I don't want to take too much time cooking dinner. Even though I won't have much time to cook, I still make cooking and eating dinner a priority. Eating balanced meals together as a family is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do to teach kids healthy eating habits.

Here's what I'm cooking this week:
MONDAY: breakfast for dinner. Oatmeal pancakes, crust less quiche, fresh grapes. I will use swiss-chard from my garden instead of spinach.
TUESDAY: Peanut noodles with cabbage ramen slaw and frozen mangoes.
WEDNESDAY: Spaghetti squash with red sauce and cheese. Garlic bread and green salad with fresh tomatoes on the side.
THURSDAY: Chicken noodle soup, cheese sandwiches and honeydew melon. If chicken is expensive I will use tofu instead of chicken (just cut it into cubes and drop it in).
FRIDAY: We are going camping, so we will be eating hot dogs, pasta salad and cut apples.
SATURDAY: We will be driving home from camping and will probably eat pizza on the road.
