Yesterday I really just threw together what I had to start our week of kid-friendly meals. Grilled cheese, applesauce, and pretzels was kind of a no-brainer. I put ham on my husband's grilled cheese to "man" it up a little. Sophia did eat most everything. I can't say if she complained because she ate upstairs with her Daddy and I ate downstairs with the baby. The true test will be when we're sitting at the table.
Today, I made my menu and grocery list. I want to compare this week with future weeks that I hopefully start the kid friendly meals in a more healthy, homemade, wholesome way. It's also important to keep in mind that I also included vegetables that my daughter likes so these meals aren't completely without benefit. Here's our weekly menu:
Sunday: Grilled cheese, pretzels, applesauce
Monday: Chicken nuggets, french fries, peas
Tuesday: Cheeseburger Hamburger helper, broccoli
Wednesday: Hot dogs, Mac-n-cheese
Thursday: Fish sticks, spinach, rice
Friday: Hamburgers (McDonald's style), cut up apples, black eyed peas
Saturday: Homemade pizza- ham and pineapple for Sophia, pepperoni for Zoë
Sunday: Chicken Quesidilla
I didn't go to the store until Monday so everything on my list covers Monday through Sunday. Also, I accounted for things I already had as well odds and ends I needed for lunches, and snacks. My total grocery bill was $100.49 with only one $0.75 coupon used. Here's my grocery list:
Chicken Nuggets
Fish sticks
hot dogs
lunch meat
hamburger helper
hamburger
granola bars
nutrigrain bars
apples/fruit
peas
broccoli
spinach
black eyed peas
pizza stuff: dough, sauce, toppings
chicken quesidillas: chicken, cheese, tortillas
ginger ale
capris suns
Here's the product of my bounty:
Here's dinner for tonight. It doesn't look so bad I guess, except who knows what's in those chicken nuggets and I'm not a fan of those frozen fries. I'm trying to lose post baby weight so I'm having some chicken stew I froze a few months back.
