Menu Plan Monday

**This is just a plan and plans have the ability to change at the cook's discretion! Last week's menus seemed to go a lot better esp. after Wednesday when dh went back to work after a long holiday. I was able to get some routine and schedule started again so this week should be relatively smooth! I am working at using freezer and pantry items this week.

Lunches listed are for the kids and I as dh usually takes dinner leftovers each day.

A special thanks to Laura-Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday! Need help with your menus, go check others out at Organizing Junkie's site!**
