But I was reminded yesterday that routine can be very important for kids, especially those who have had disruptions in their lives. And with Brandy gone most of the time these days, I've been slacking in the supper department. Grab n go something super easy and we don't all sit down together. PLUS, a bout with Momma and two of the kids having a nasty stomach bug proved that having a plan would have been a nice thing (kudos to little Momma Svanna for taking over for a couple hours!). So...once again, back to the drawing board even though its NOT one of my fav things to do.
Friday: School Soup Supper...I'm privileged to work at it, so I might as well take the night off of cooking, right? (However, keeping 7 kids in line with a crowd of people isn't as easy as it sounds...it might have been easier to cook!)
Saturday: Stouffer's Lasagna, Garlic Bread, Veggies {Don't judge me...it's still a sit down meal! =) Plus, I can feed my whole family for like 10 bucks}
Sunday Lunch: Creamed Chicken Sandwiches, fruit, chips (I have to make the chicken for the soup supper, might as well make extra for us, right?)
Sunday Supper: Pizza and a movie! (carpet picnic at home)
Monday: Haystack Supper, carrots & broccoli with dip
Tuesday: Crock Pot Stroganoff with whole wheat noodles, veggies {Don't forget to vote!}
Wednesday: Shepherd's Pie, fruit/veggies
Thursday: Chicken Enchilada Casserole, Rice and Veggies (moved from the last menu...hmmm...musta used the tortillas for something else! I didn't have them when I needed them. oops)
Friday: Katelyn's Fund Auction and Supper, come one, come all! It's sure to be a great night.
If you have any great menu ideas, please pass them along! Or...*smile* if you'd like to be a guest blogger menu planner (and you know, therefore plan my menu as well...hahahaha...leave a comment and let me know!).

I like stoufers as well. Don't apologize! We also love shephards pie at our house, and stromboli, and spagheti, and anything with hamburger. They love grilled pork chops and chicken alfredo in tortellini and steak k-bobs...few more ideas for you!
I have also had a couple of weeks of "slacking" - busy days that just seem to escape me and suddenly it's dinnertime and we got nothin'. :) So on the long drive home from Iowa City yesterday (Joe was driving), I planned meals up to Thanksgiving! Woo-hoo! What a great feeling, huh?!
