Menu Plan Monday - May 9, 2011

How glorious it was to take a family walk tonight and then play softball in the front yard until after 9 o'clock! Most of the children have completed their school year, and our weekly activities are slowly lessening. I love May! I feel like I can get more done around my house in May than any other month of the year.


This morning I surprised the children at breakfast with yummy "Milk Shakes." This really gets everyone smiling first thing in the morning!


Combine in a blender:

• 1.5 cups cold water
• 3 eggs
• 1.5 cups non-fat dry milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon stevia (use additional 1/4 cup sugar if you don't have)
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid lecithin (use a squirt of non-stick cooking spray if you don't have)
• 16 ice cubes

We'll be heading out Saturday for our bi-monthly grocery trip. My new 2-month meal plan makes the planning for 9 weeks of food a pretty quick process.
