Menu Plans for Busy Moms

Happy Monday moms! Hope you are enjoying your summer so far 🙂

Summer is in full swing around our house and the kids have been enjoying being home. That means I have more time for meal prep in the evenings, since we aren’t running to activities 😉

This week, however, my son has Cub Scout camp, so he’ll be out of the house for 8 hours each day…which is the perfect time for me to tackle the big painting project I’ve been wanting to do.

I’m planning to paint all our bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room and our play room, which I’m turning into more of a family room, now that the kids have sort of outgrown their toys. Hopefully I can get this all done by the end of the week.

As usual, my menu plan is Trim Healthy Mama-friendly. If you aren’t familiar with Trim Healthy Mama, head over to read all about how I became a Trim Healthy Mama and lost 35 pounds in 7 months.

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

Breakfasts
Eggs, berries (S)
Oatmeal, 1/2 banana (E)
Sprouted wheat pancakes, bacon, strawberries (Crossover)
Scrambled Eggs with cheese, bacon, berries (S)

Lunches
Leftovers most days
Turkey or ham and cheese in low-carb wrap (S)

Dinners
Steak on the grill, broccoli salad (S)
Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole (S)
Trim Mac Salad (S)
Chicken Parmy, salad (S)
Cowboy Grub (E)
Homemade pizza, salad (Crossover)
Eat Out (S)

I’ve taken most of my dinners from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook and the Food for Life Cookbook (affiliate links). We’ve been using the THM cookbook for practically all our meals for the past few months and we love everything we’ve tried so far.
