Menu Monday 19 Oct 2009

The “rules” of our household diet: About every two to three hours between meals, we eat healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, yogurt, or a smoothie. We avoid any pork and any bottom feeders like catfish and shellfish. We avoid artificial sweeteners, like Splenda, Aspartame, and High Fructose Corn Syrup and unhealthy toxins like trans fatty acids and MSG.

But, one meal a week, we eat whatever we want. This is usually our “Dinner Out” meal.

I don’t typically have room in my menu for leftovers. If I have any, I usually serve them for lunch the next day, or we’ll save them during the week to graze lunch on the weekends.

Almost all of the breads are homemade – I’ll add links to recipes as I post them. I also have the intent to post several recipes from this week’s menu – because we’ve been out of town for almost a week, my menu is full of our normal, tried and true, my family’s comfort food recipes. While I have a week of such “norms”, I’ll get the recipes posted.

Here’s the menu plan for my family for the week of Monday, 19 October 2009. As far as desserts go, I’m going to make orange dreamsicle cupcakes (recipe to follow) and the chewy chocolate cookies (recipe to follow) that I never made it to last week.
