New Year, new weekly menu!

Today I'm hitting our local Winter Farmers market.  I'm excited, I can't lie.  I've got my meal plan and shopping list ready to go


Today, Saturday January 3
Homemade Baked Beans (in the crockpot since last night) with Applegate Hotdogs (I hope my family will eat them... I might serve them on skewers, since my kids don't like buns or condiments ... but they do like things skewered....) I'm planning on making homemade onion dip so, I'll also serve some cut up fruits and veggies.


Sunday January 4
Crepes for breakfast with fruit (my husband makes very good crepes)
Pasta with meat sauce, salad and veggies


Monday January 5
Homemade chicken dippers (see skewer comment above), oven fries, sweet potato fries, and roasted cauliflower.


Tuesday January 6
Fish with rice and veggies


Wednesday January 7
Fish cakes (with leftover fish) served with Annie's mac and cheese, peas and veggies


Thursday January 8
Crockpot chicken, mashed potatoes, veggies


Friday January 9
BBQ chicken quesadilla


Saturday January 10
Chicken noodle soup with cheesy pizza


I struggle the most with finding interesting things to serve for breakfast. Ug, any ideas??
