MENU: 6/11/15 - 6/17/15

I had planned on making a new cookie recipe last week, but it's been in the 90s and even cookies, which are my love language, couldn't tempt me to turn on the oven any more than necessary. Devon had seen a recipe in a magazine that he wanted to try, so he ended up making dessert for us instead. Temps will cool down a bit this week, so I'll  definitely be making the new cookie recipe soon!

The only other change to our last menu was that Silas and Teebs decided to bust out some fried eggs and oatmeal pancakes for breakfast while I was out running with Devon and Naomi one morning.

NEW RECIPES 
* creamsicle fudge - This is the recipe that Devon made and it's delicious! It makes me want to bust out some orange creamsicle cookies, which I haven't made in ages.

ADVANCED COOKING (These aren't always planned, so they'll often be things I did the previous week.)
* We'll make peanut butter and crockpot beans, just like we do once or twice every week.
* The kids will make up some seasoned salt and taco seasoning.

BREAKFASTS
* egg, potato, & spinach scramble
* doughnuts at church
* oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, milk, homemade peanut butter, maple almond butter, raisins, dried cranberries, fresh or frozen fruit, huh-koe-pee milk, and/or energy mix as optional toppings x5

DINNERS
* leftovers 
* tacos - seasoned meat from the freezer, crockpot beans, and some other toppings served in a tortilla or bowl, as a salad over a pile of greens, or with mound of rice
* sausage balls/fruit salad/nacho Doritos (Devon's birthday dinner of choice)
* dinner at events we're attending x2
* new recipe/rice/frozen peas & corn
* tomato, feta, & barley salad over lettuce/carrot sticks/pea pods

SNACKS & DESSERTS
* new recipe
* produce
* Crunchy Flax cereal (We've scored a few cases of 12 for $4.99 at a local discount store over the last several months, so we've been using it as a snack. We either eat it with milk as a cold cereal, over yogurt with fruit, or mixed into homemade granola.)

* popcorn with seasoned salt (kernels from the WinCo bulk department that get popped in my Lodge Dutch oven, but you can see my thoughts on both the wonderful Dutch oven and the fantastic West Bend Stir Crazy in this post. )
