We are still living off the bounteous contributions of my mother-in-law, so I don't have a priced menu plan this week.
What we plan to make:
Breakfasts:
Steel cut oats with plain unsweetened yogurt and frozen blueberries, OR breakfast sandwiches on whole wheat tortillas with scrambled eggs, salsa, and a pinch of grated cheese
Lunches:
Peanut butter sandwiches, carrot and celery sticks, string cheese, apples
Dinners:
2 x crock pot Santa Fe chicken, except using a jar of salsa instead of the recommended sauce, because that's what I had. Sides of brown rice and steamed broccoli.
2 x spaghetti Bolognese, using a recipe derived from America's Test Kitchen, sides of (previously frozen) green beans and peas
2 x boeuf Bourguignon, sides of whole wheat egg noodles and steamed broccoli and/or frozen vegetables
...and maybe a comforting autumn night meal of eggs on toast if we can't be bothered.
Desserts/sweet stuff:
There's something about colder weather that makes me want to bake, so I'm exercising more in the hopes of canceling out the extra calories. I plan to make the Skinnytaste.com pumpkin bread with pepitas (don't be put off by the "low fat" in the title; it's incredibly moist and spicy and delicious). Also, I'm going to use up the rest of the can of pumpkin I used for the bread making the Skinnytaste.com pumpkin pancakes for breakfast on Sunday morning. Yum.
