From this point on, I will only mention main courses and sides(if noteworthy in my opinion). A vegetable, fresh fruit, spinach and/or lettuce salad, and whole grain bread are generally offered with dinner.

Also, we do eat on weekends, but that is generally when Ole gets creative in the kitchen. All his recipes seem to be in his noggin, so it is rather hard to put here. With the main purpose being organization, and the week days being the most hectic, Monday through Friday meals are those that I care to focus on.

We have a nasty habit of stopping by the grocery daily or every other day to pick up dinner fixings. Call it a lack of organization, or we just never know what we will want to eat. I tend to spend more than necessary because more often than not the children are with me, and they are always hungry it seems! Orgjunkie.com has the right idea about planning things out at the beginning of the week and sticking to it. We'll see how it goes.

Monday – traditional reubens and avocado reuben sandwiches, tomato soup

Tuesday – Whole wheat spaghetti and meatballs, romaine and spinach salad, crusty whole grain bread

Wednesday – 40 clove garlic chicken, sweet potatoes, romaine and spinach salad, sliced seasonal fruit

Thursday – Inviting ourselves to Grandma’s for din(she told us to!), or maybe Flatbranch

Friday – Kids having sleepover, so Shakespeare’s pizza and sliced seasonal fruit
