I do my menu plan in 2 week intervals since my husband gets paid every two weeks. This menu will be slightly different than normal since my oldest son and I will be gone for 5 days. We also have his graduation and graduation party. However, I still have to set the menu to last while I am gone. We are also very heavily in the baseball/softball season and I am also working a great deal.
Every year, I purchase a side of beef and a whole hog. We are currently out of hamburger, bacon, and sausage. Additionally, we are trying to clear out some meat from our freezer since the meet will be ready around the 4th of July (and we are currently almost out).
Additionally, we have a family pizza party every Sunday night that we are home where we watch a movie - my children love this tradition and feel lost if we do not do it. There are some great family movies!!
For breakfasts, we will have:
cereal
french toast
pancakes
omelets
baked oatmeal
muffins - I will freeze muffins for the kids to pull out while I am gone the second week.
smoothies
For lunches, we will wing it the first week, but I have planned simple food for the second week while I am gone.
I will make some ham salad.
