Post your weekly menu

[littlebugsdaycare]

my menu is not set until Sunday when I make my weekly meal plan for the daycare and my family but this week we had:

Monday spaghetti with meatballs and caesar salad
Tuesday - homemade crispy chicken, roasted vegetables, risotto
Wednesday - quinoa salad, tuna and veggie melts, fruit salad
Thursday - noodle caesar salad, ham, mixed veggies, cubed cheese
Friday (today) - my one daycare girls birthday so her choice - homemade pizza she is helping me make, caesar salad, mixed fruit

Morning snack is always the same which is a huge bowl of seasonal fruit and a grain
Afternoon snack this week is was a rarity because I had two birthdays so we had two days of 'treat' snacks which are sundaes but that is as healthy as I can make it as well so frozen yogurt, homemade fruit puree and a couple sprinkles. But otherwise we have greek yogurt with added honey and fruit, apple sauces, cheese and crackers, crackers and hummus, veggies with dip are in regular rotation.

I used to send out a daily weekly menu to parents but now I just have a general list that is a go to for each week. I just give them the whole list of possibilities so it gives them an Idea of what their child will most likely be eating so that I have the flexibility to make whatever I feel like on any given day (a lesson learned after my first year I usually decide in my head each week what we're most likely going to have and do my groceries accordingly. Great Idea to see everyone else's! There's always something new to find and add! I love seeing everyone's menus. It'd be nice to get people's favourite recipes too. I think I'm going to start a new thread for that!
