Menu Plan #1

I trust that you have had a wonderful Christmas and new years!  I am blogging again and I can guarantee that this year’s recipes are going to be better than ever.

Without further delay, here is the menu plan for the week ahead:

Because every day is different, and some days I have more time than other days, this is just a menu plan of what I would like to make each day for each meal.  I will be sticking to it roughly. 

If you plan to follow this menu plan in your own home, feel free to add and remove as you wish.  Maybe you don’t have any time in the morning to make a full breakfast, that’s okay, just substitute with Cereal and Toast if you need to.  I might even do this depending on what time I wake up in the morning!
