Weekly Menu (8/21/11-8/27/11)

This week is going to be crazy hectic...my little one is seeing a nutritionist at Primary Children's on Monday, my older son is having to have impacted ear wax surgically removed on Tuesday (not excited about that, but at least he won't be deaf in one ear anymore--hopefully), school starts for my older son on Wednesday, I'm also helping a friend make the diet change for her son on Wednesday, Saturday I'm runnning the TOU 1/2 marathon (I already have butterflies in my stomach)....and I didn't even cover half of what we are doing, needless to say my menu may reflect some of this.

Also, since my older son is starting back up in school--and is now in first grade--I'll be changing the format of our weekly menu to reflect what he gets for all three meals.  Hopefully it will help other moms who are in the same boat as us.  Just to note, my older son is not dairy intolerant, so he will have dairy options in his lunch.

Sunday:

Breakfast: Choice of Cereal with Milk (or non-dairy milk)

Lunch:

• Choice of Sandwiches (my family typically chooses ham or PB&J)

• Grapes

Dinner:

Tuesday:

Breakfast: My older one won't be able to eat breakfast, I'll probably have a quick smoothie before he gets up. My younger one will eat at the sitter's (like he usually does, and will probably also eat a chocolate muffin at home, because he loves those things).

Breakfast:

• I will be off to my race by 5:00 or so, so my hubby is in charge of feeding the kids...so, it'll be cereal. :)  I'll hopefully manage to stomach some toast before I go.

Lunch:

• I know I'll be exhausted after the race, so it'll be sandwiches, nachos, or something equally as easy that hopefully my husband will do and not me. :)

Dinner:

• I have a summer work party and a church dinner we can choose from for dinner...I haven't checked on the ingredients yet, and I'm not sure how social I'll be feeling so, I'm thinking we'll have Juniper Take Out...I figure, if we've survived to this point, we deserve a treat! :)
