I'm trying two new soup recipes this week and starting a weekly "soup night" for us. (I would normally make only one soup but I've been craving Hot & Sour Soup and I know the kids wouldn't care for it). The weather is cooler and the kids and I love soup, so why not? It's usually pretty simple to throw together, can simmer until hubby finally arrives home, and it keeps really well for leftovers. I'm looking forward to relaxed, fun week of cooking! Here's what's in store this week:
Breakfasts:
cold cereal and toast
Granola bars (for the preschool mornings when we need to be out the door quickly)
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes (from freezer), bananas
Lunches:
leftovers
Poor Man's Pizza, oranges, carrot sticks
Pita chips and hummus, apple slices
PB&J, apple slices, pretzels
Suppers:
Monday: Soup night! Hot and Sour Soup for me and hubby (new recipe - will post it soon if it turns out well); Tomato Tortellini Soup (new recipe) for the kids; Italian Breadsticks
Tuesday: Homemade Chicken Nuggets, oven fries, peas
Wednesday: Tator Tot Hotdish, lettuce salad, honeydew melon
Thursday: clean out the fridge night
Friday: Slow Cooker Lasagna, lettuce salad, green beans, melon
Saturday: Homemade Pizza, fruit
Sunday: clean out the fridge night

Happy MPM! I love soup! It's one thing that I've been adding to my menu each week. Your slow cooker lasagna sounds wonderful. I may try that out next week! Thanks for sharing.

I need to work on my menu planning. I like the way you have ideas for breakfasts and lunches and then set ideas for dinner. And we are starting soup night too! That was already in our plans. The other week I made my homemade chicken noodle soup (the broth was even homemade). Another week, DH made butternut squash soup! It was so yummy with a mixed green salad with goat cheese and toasted walnuts. I was so surprised when Phoebe (our 10 year old) ate everything - both soup and salad.
