Menu for 8/8/09-8/21/09

It always helps to have a plan.

Keep in mind, this blog is NOT about saving money. It's about food. Real food. Good food. Food from my own hands.

Food items labeled with an * will be items that are purchased in a pre-made form, simply because I do not have the kitchen space or tools available to make a comparable product. All other items will be made from scratch, using base ingredients from the fridge, freezer, or pantry.

Snacks for the entirety: Fresh Fruit, Milk, nuts, or air-popped popcorn. Beverages will rotate between Pop*, Juice*, Water, Iced Tea, and Milk.
