Menu Plan Monday 7/6-7/12

**Another week is upon us so that means it is time for another menu plan! This is just a plan and it could change on the cook’s whim!

Last week’s menus went well. The homemade cinnamon rolls and cheesy potatoes (no meat) that I tried as new recipes this week went well with the family! They liked the cinnamon rolls better! I changed the cinnamon roll recipe some by using 1/2 whole wheat flour for the flour and I didn't use cream cheese in the icing. The family loved them lots so the cinnamon rolls will be more frequent on the menu instead of the canned ones.
Last week, I planned bbq pork, cheesy potatoes, and green beans! What a yummy meal!! The cheesy potatoes I will be putting on my rotation list as well, I just will not be fixing them on regular basis because a couple of picky eaters did not like them.

Why is that the week after doing major grocery shopping to fill my freezer and pantry (till next payday—15th), I am stuck with what to fix for meals?? I have lots of food but no inspiration!

My oldest ds turned 12 on Sunday! He went to a friend’s house who lives on a lake with the church youth group and then went out to dinner by himself with Dad. We are going to have a party at the house this Saturday. He has invited two friends and their families plus my parents to join us for a party! So this week, I have to get some cupcakes or cake made for the party!

Lunches listed are for the kids and me. Hubby usually takes dinner leftovers each day.
