Menu & Grocery List for Aug. 8 - 14

Yep, it's still summer, but our hectic life has begun this week. We start our first tackle football practices this week. No pads yet, just mainly conditioning so the boys can get used to being out in 107 degree heat. Yes, you read that right, our high temp today is 107. Don't be jealous, I know you are!

I digress...

Since we have practice 3 nights of practice this week and next, right after dinner time, I have to make dinners that are filling but won't slow him down AND that will warm up well since big daddy won't be home for dinner and has to eat after practice. Here's what I've come up with.

Monday: Breakfast- donuts
                Lunch- leftovers
                Snack- apples with peanut butter
                Dinner- Lime and Honey glazed salmon with warm black bean and corn salad (from last week
                              that never got eaten)

Tuesday: Breakfast- Apple Raisin muffins
                Lunch- Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches with fruit
                Snack- yogurt
                Dinner- Crock Pot Pulled Pork sandwiches with baked beans

Wednesday: Breakfast- Eggs and toast
                      Lunch- Spaghetti O's with yogurt
                      Snack- cupcakes; out
                      Dinner- Salad, Lasagna, garlic bread, lemon blossoms

Thursday: Breakfast- Apple Raisin muffins (the rest from Tuesday)
                  Lunch- Cornbread dog muffins
                  Snack- fruit
                  Dinner- Pulled pork tacos

Friday: Breakfast- cereal and fruit
