Menu Monday 27 SEP 2010 – Week 1 of Daniel Fast

Menu for the week of September 27, 2010.

The “rules” of our household diet can be found in the tab above labeled Hallee’s Galley and further explained in Our Diet.

I usually serve leftovers for lunch the next day, or we’ll save them during the week to graze lunch on the weekends. One meal a week, we eat whatever we want. This is usually our “Dinner Out” meal.

Almost all of the breads are homemade using fresh milled flour. I’ll continue to link to my recipes as I post them. Our daily bread is Whole Wheat Honey Oatmeal Bread.

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of September 27th. I can’t believe it will be the first of October on Friday!

This week, I begin a 21-Day Daniel Fast. My blog post about that can be found here, but basically, it’s vegan extreme – and I’m throwing in my own personal restriction to unleavened bread only. I’m really looking forward to it. I’m going to allow the kids some meat and dairy, so they’re not doing it with me. I’ll go ahead and list all of the meals so that you can see how I’m doing it.

The women’s group at my church has a fundraiser every year where they cook a nice meal for the Kiwanis Club. That’s Monday night, so I’ll be cooking dinner with them. I also normally only do the soup kitchen on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this week I’m adding Monday and Wednesday to that schedule. Thursday night is a dinner at my church. Friday morning early we leave to go out of town until Monday. It’s a busy week to try to be fasting!
