Breakfast Menu #1 (partial)

Breakfast continues to be the most challenging meal for me to get right. I've already went through the basics of a healthy breakfast and know that I should be including protein, dairy, & fruits and veggies. It's an easy concept, but following through is a different story. Perhaps the fact that I am not a morning person has something to do with it. So if that is my excuse then I know the answer... advance meal planning. I've preplanned a week's worth of dinner time meals for the family but that's as far as I got. I got to thinking that maybe it is time to go back to my home child care days and plan out an entire menu for the week, including breakfast. And that is just what I have done for the rest of the school week.

Thursday:
Egg, Cheese & Ham Bagel
Orange Sections
Milk

Friday:
Stuffin' Egg Muffins
Apple
Milk

I am hoping that by having a game plan that I can keep on track and perhaps getting up a few minutes early, as originally planned, will help out as well.

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Ingredients 1/4 c Dijon mustard 1/3 c Honey 2 tbs Light Mayo 1 tbs Steak Sauce 4 Chicken Breasts (4oz ea) Directions 1. Preheat the grill for medium heat. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and steak sauce. Set aside a small amount of the honey mustard sauce for basting, and dip the chicken into the remaining sauce to coat. 3.

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!

Panini & Potatoes

Now that we`re over the Easter break it`s time to hop right back on track. Monday I really didn`t feel like cooking a real meal so I opted for sandwiches. I made Turkey-Ham-Cheddar-Avocado Panini`s. Normally we`d have potato chips or french fries on the side, but I made smashed potatoes instead that I found on the back of 'Compliments Brand Red Petites Potatoes' Roasted Smashed Greek Potatoes 2lbs red mini potatoes 1 head garlic, peeled 4 sprigs oregano 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice Toss raw potatoes together with garlic, 2 sprigs of oregano, olive oil, saltand pepper in a roasting pan. roast in a 400 degree F oven until tender, about 40 minuntes.
