This has been quite a week. Peach came down with a mysterious illness on Tuesday and we've pretty much been home all week long. I don't mind a home week, in fact I definitely prefer it to running around.We had a couple of really good meals and some very yummy pancakes -- all new recipes, so I'll be sure to share as soon as I can. I have a backlog of pictures on my desktop -- evidence that I'm behind posting recipes. I can't be running up and down the stairs for Peach and posting recipes though. Hoping she turns a corner today -- I think she has watched almost every children's DVD we own and she's very tired of being stuck in bed, even if it does mean meals are delivered on a tray and mama comes when she rings the bell.

I love your menu plans. I use a lot of your ideas. I'm just wondering what you have for snacks, though. Lunches and snacks are always hard for me to come up with.
Do you mean between meal snacks or do you mean snack foods, like munchies?
For between meal snacks we eat fruit, carrot sticks, cheese, lots of different flavors of crackers, yogurt and sometimes cereal (the boys have big snack appetites). I also like to make cinnamon toast ( http://blessusolord.blogspot.com/2007/10/back-to-my-roots.html ) and jelly bread. In the winter a cup of hot, sweet, milky tea or hot cocoa fills them up, too.
To keep on-hand for munching I make my Critter Crunch ( http://blessusolord.blogspot.com/2009/09/critter-crunch.html ) using whatever I have leftover, as well as a salty mix. The salty mix I make is from a Christmas cookbook ( http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes.aspx/reindeer-snack/f8373eeb-03d2-499d-9e5f-fa07029baad9 ) and even though it's called reindeer mix we eat it all year.
