[quote=Anonymous]I used to weekly meal plan but it wasnt enough so I made a 4 week plan and then rotate through that seasonally. Dinners will change in spring/summer to lighter fare/more grilling. I follow a pattern for breakfast each week and lunches are leftovers from dinner the previous night. Toddler has PBJ, Ham or leftovers for school lunch. The carb-based breakfasts get paired with more protein-based lunches and vice versa. Example for egg breakfasts ill pair leftover pasta or rice/beans or PBJ. Conversely for french toast/pancakes we will do nuggets/fish sticks/ham/charcuterie. I leave Saturday or Sunday lunch open for eating out since that is typically what happens when we have a big activity one of those days.

Breakfast follows:
Eggs plus carb (hashbrown/zucchini bread/chorizo tacos/etc) with veg/fruit 2x week
Smoothie 1x week
Baked oatmeal 1x week (blueberry coconut/raspberry choc chip/pumpkin pie/) plus chicken sausage
Stovetop oatmeal 1xweek (pumpkin/carrot cake/fruit based/
Pancakes/French toast 1x week (rotate. work veggies in by doing zucchini choc chip pancakes or beet pancakes)
Toast/English muffin with butter & jelly, chicken sausage/pork sausage plus chocolate milk 1x week

Snacks on weekends are planned out. We usually bake something on the weekend (plus its a toddler friendly activity) and it gets added to breakfast 1x week, lunch 1x week and is a snack 1x weekend. Example zucchini bread (pumpkin bread, choc chip lentil muffins, etc.) I am a fan of Kids Eat in Color and bought 2 of the guides but a lot of the recipes didnt work for our family so I followed her framework and filled it in.
