Happy Monday! This week’s meal plan is a bit different from what I typically write {and cook} because it’s my daughter’s birthday. We’re eating more junk food than usual and letting her celebrate all week long with her favorite foods. I’ve still got a full week planned with links to recipes.

One Mama's Weekly Meal Plan 10/16 through 10/22

Drama of the week

This week we are celebrating my daughter’s 14th birthday. One of our family traditions is to have a birthday party with friends every other year. The in-between years we do something smaller with just our family.

As my kids have gotten older, they have lost interest in the traditional cake-and-a-present routine, so I’ve been trying to come up with creative but special things to do in the “off” years.

This year my daughter really only asked for food. As her list grew and grew, I decided that instead of a birthDAY, we would throw her a birthWEEK with her favorite meals every day. Below you’ll find her selection for every meal.

I’ll be taking a few shortcuts by purchasing some things instead of making them from scratch, but there are links to my favorite scratch recipes below too.

Here’s what we’re eating this week:

breakfast choices – all natural pop tarts, Fruit Loops cereal

snacks – cheesy crescent pizza bites, strawberry fruit pops

dessert – cookie cake, Reese’s blondies

—

Monday

lunch = chicken noodle soup

dinner = chicken parmesan, garlic bread

Tuesday

Wednesday
