Menu Plan July 15 - July 21

This week, I have made our meal plan based upon what is in our pantry and what needs to be used in the freezer. I am not going to shop the sale ad's this week. Now, I will buy some milk, veggies, and fruits...but, I am gonna try and stay out of the grocery store.

I am trying to get organized for the up-coming school year. I want to be prepared and ready. We homeschool our children so, it is imperative that I stay on top of everything...even the pantry. smile.

Breakfast:

Sweet and Moist Squash Bread (I am putting together a new recipe... sounds peculiar but I think it definitely has potential. I will let y'all know.

Yogurt, fresh blueberries, and Homemade granola (recipe to come)

Homemade donuts (recipe to come) I could eat 10 of these yummy treats.

Cereal and fruit
