Menu Plan Monday

Hello! Welcome to another week.... We didn't end up with a menu last week because I was in survival mode. We lived on Grape Salad and Green Salad. Mmmm...it was good. Here is the recipe for Grape Salad...it's really, really good.

Grape Salad

1 bag green grapes
1 bag red grapes
1 8 oz package cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 cup sour cream
* I also add about a 1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla. Pour over grapes and mix. Add mix-ins of your choice: craisens, pecans, white raisens, whatever...

Make it. You'll love it.

That being said, here is my meager meal plan for the week....
**My goal is to eat a lot more salad...with a lot more veggies...

Monday: Turkey Steaks, Mashed Potatoes, Fruit

Tuesday: Ham Fried Rice, Jell-O, and Salad

Wednesday: Hot Dogs at the Daddy Daughter Date

Thursday: Noodles with Parmesan cheese, broccoli, peaches

Friday: Taco Soup

Saturday: Taco Soup leftovers

Sunday: In the works...

I'm also very excited about conference weekend! Any fun traditions that you do with your little ones to keep them occupied? I've got Bingo all ready to go. I think I'll maybe do a candy bowl with specific words that they can grab a candy if they hear that word. And of course we'll color, paint, and play with playdough....

We always did conference bingo when I was little! It was one of my favorite traditions. I remember we started before I was eight and it made me look forward to conference. I think that because of that conference has always been something I looked forward to doing. My mom would also buy lots and lots of good foods and candy and kept it in the room that had conference playing.
