I have been slacking with menu planning lately. My budget and my eating habits can attest to that fact. So I decided it’s time to get back into the habit. I have been scouring the internet for the past two days, and have found some simple & (hopefully) yummy new recipes for my family to try.For Breakfast this week: eggs, bacon, toast-
oatmeal carrot raisin muffins (my own concoction & my kids actually eat it)-
granola(it’s been a while; i’ll have to find my old favorite recipe)-
baked oatmeal (reduced the sugar; love it warm with raisins & milk!)-
pancake muffins (I sub local honey for the maple syrup in the recipe)
Lunches for the kids: chicken noodle soup, mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, tortilla pizza, sandwiches & leftovers
My lunches: Green Smoothies
Dinners: Cheesy Chicken served over brown rice with roasted veggies (broccoli, cauliflower & carrots)
Lentil Tacos (on homemade tortillas) w/ green salad & tropical fruit
Baked Terriyaki Chicken w/ Broccoli & fruit
Potatoes Kielbasa (one skillet meal)
Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu w/ Green Beans, may serve with egg noodles
a Leftover Buffet on Saturday
Deer Stew served over brown rice, maybe w/ homemade whole wheat rolls
A few of these recipes came from allrecipes.com, and several others came from fellow bloggers. I really like allrecipes because they include the nutritional information with the recipe. I think all of the recipes I used this week from there are around 300 calories per serving, sometimes less! My weight loss has not been so great this week, so I am trying to be more aware this week.

How do you get what you want to highlight highlighted and go to another link. I cannot figure out how to do it.
Assuming you're using blogger, hold down the left click on the mouse & then slide over whatever you want to highlight. To add a link to it, once you've highlighted what you want, click on the little world w/ the link on it (next to the font color block) & you should get a pop-up space to add your link.
I hope that helps! Took me a while to figure it out too!!
