March Month of Menus {Menu Planning Monday}

Or something like that. I am trying to plan out the entire month's worth of menus so that I don't have to do it each week. There will need to be a weekly shopping list also so that grocery shopping isn't such a chore as well.

Having it all planned out will help us keep on plan also. E meals are the hardest for all of us to get in the day so this will hopefully help. On the list I've made, OP means off plan. It could be a crossover but it generally means I'll be using something that isn't technically on plan.

Nice that March starts on a Sunday, the first day of the week. Convenient.

I had intended to have this done on Sunday but I don't get online try to stay offline on Sundays. Here's the month's worth of meals. These are of course the planned and perhaps not actual meals. For instance on Sunday we only had enough eggs for three so Fox opted for sugar sweetened chocolate oatmeal and sugar sweetened chocolate milk... See what I mean? A work in progress...

And there are no snacks listed here but I have a short list on our fridge.

Here's the scan of the menu.

Week 1:
Breakfasts:
Eggs & Bacon {S}
Cold Cereal (on these days I'll have something else) {OP}
Baked Blueberry Oatmeal {E}
Breakfast Burritos {E}
Coffee Cake (for 1, times 3) {S}
Light Baked Custard {E/S}
Jelly Style Greek Yogurt (this honestly I think will need something more added as a breakfast; perhaps fruit) {E}

Morning Coconut Bread {S} (Added 3/12/15: *We do not like this so it will not be a repeat breakfast. Dd says it tastes like the breakfast porridge in loaf form. It has no leavening agent and doesn't rise but a smidgen. It is extremely coconutty, as in the texture, not the taste. Just did not care for it.*)
