Menu Plan Monday

It is Monday! Time for another week of menus! We had a great weekend. My son stayed with his grandparents Saturday night, which went surprisingly well, considering that it was the first time he'd been away overnight! Yes, he's two, and no, he isn't a baby anymore. The realization hit me Sunday morning when I heard how well he did....I burst into tears, hugging my husband! It just made me realize that he is growing up and no matter how hard I try to think of him as a baby, he is not that, but a little boy. It's sad and exciting at the same time. I enjoyed the time to myself Saturday afternoon and evening. It allowed me to do some mommy things that you can't do when you have a child to tote around.

I'm trying to get us back on the Flat Belly Diet. We've got a little extra winter weight on that we can't seem to get off and this diet is really the only successful plan that we've ever been on. We're also going to be working out a bit more and taking walks in the evenings.

Back to the menu. I'm going through 10 days of meals. I added more dinners than necessary as we may or may not eat out. We're trying to save for some spending money at the moment. Also, I have a cookbook that I might use as a back up for those nights I have no motivation. I already have most of the ingredients for what's listed.
