Happy Pioneer Week



I will start posting more but for now here is our menu plan for this week.  There is nothing fancy just making do with what we have without having to make a big trip to the store. We are going on a family reunion trip the second week in August and need to eat extra food we have in the house.

UPDATE: WE TRIED TO MAKE THIS OX AND WAGON FOR TODDLER SCHOOL AND IT WAS A TOTAL FLOP.  I GUESS YOU COULD HOT GLUE IT SOMEHOW BUT I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE WHEELS TO STAY.




Here is a link to Fun Pioneer Day activities like the one above.

Monday
Lunch - French Dip sandwiches and carrot sticks
Dinner - Sloppy Joes, corn, and fruit cobbler

Tuesday
Lunch- Sandwiches and fruit smoothies
Dinner - Broccoli, cheese, seasoned plain yogurt(with a little bit of garlic salt) on baked potatoes

Thursday

I haven't always been good at following a plan.  But even though I'm not I always do better when I plan something out.  So we will see how it goes.  Looking at other people's menu plans, I am amazed at how simple most meals really can be.
