Summer Meal Plan

Shantel LOVES summer. She looks forward to it every year and fills it with so many fun things. One thing she has found is that it is nice to have a recurring meal plan with some easy things that we can eat for dinner, but that come together pretty quick because they might be out playing or doing something fun right up to dinner time. I thought it would be fun to include this year's meal plan. We use this plan for three weeks and then when we finish it, we start it all over again. Usually Shantel will make some of these meals plus make enough to freeze it so the next time we have it, it is already made (for example Lasagna and Chicken Bacon and Ranch Bites). For breakfast, the approach is opposite. Usually breakfast is quick and easy during the school year, but during the summer, it is easier to do things that might take more work and that are fun and mix it up from what we normally do. Here is the summer Meal Plan:

Breakfast:

Monday: Hash browns and Smoothies

Tuesday: French Toast

Wednesday: Peaches & Cream

Thursday: McGriddles

Friday: Breakfast Burritos

Saturday: Yogurt Parfaits

Sunday: Biscuits and Gravy

I loved our summer breakfast plan and especially loved the McGriddles and the Biscuits and Gravy, They were both so delicious and I looked forward to breakfast especially on those days. Shantel found a recipe online for a copycat version of McDonalds McGriddles and then used Jenna's recipe for Biscuits and Gravy.
