Menu Plan - September 19



This past week, our menu plan worked out pretty nicely.  We didn't try a ton of new recipes, but certainly enjoyed some good eats:









Apple Cranberry Granola



Christmas Eggs



Whole Wheat Apple Cake



Breakfast {Oven} Potatoes



Spiced Country Applesauce



Grandma's Sloppy Joe's
with whole wheat rolls



Over the weekend, my Father-in-Law and family friend came to visit us for the first time!  We did lots of grilling {steaks and brats}, potato pockets, corn and enjoyed yummy dark chocolate mint squares for dessert {thanks mom!}.   I'll share that recipe later this week.  

We enjoyed spending time with them, and got to take in two baseball games while they were here!



I'm starting to add a to-do list under each day's menu... this is to help me manage my time so that we don't end up getting ready for dinner the next night and are missing a key ingredient!  Hopefully this to-do list helps :)  Do any of you do this with your menus?
