Meals From Scratch Summer Challenge Meal Plan Week 1 Preview


Week 1

Below is the first week’s meal plan.  Since this is the kids’ last week of school for us, I am letting them buy their lunch this week. So, if your kids are already out for the summer or you prefer to prep their lunches, you will have to make their lunches this week too.  

On a side note, as I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I made the switch to vegetarian, so I will post my vegetarian alternatives (which usually just includes a larger portion of vegetables and elimination of the meats).  Also, we believe there are some gluten sensitivities in our family as well.  So, I will note the gluten free options as we progress as well.  For example, cookies can easily be replaced with baby carrots, raisins and water for the Snack for the whole week (I do this for myself anyway), or you can follow a gluten free recipe.  Apple pie can be replaced with baked cinnamon apples, ice cream or sorbet, etc.  Last but not least, Marcus is lactose intolerant, so I replace his cheese with Veggies Shreds, if appropriate, or leave it out or replace it (for example, I give him a whole apple instead of the cheese).  So, as you can tell, everything here is flexible…and since my snacks change from week to week, you shouldn’t get too bored with things either, even if you are making substitutions.
