Menu Planning for "Company's Coming!"

Can I just take a minute to breathe?!

Honestly, we've moved too many times in too few amount of years that we are not quite accustomed to having much company.  I've never cooked for more than a potluck crowd or my family of six on any given day, although I have big dreams of future hospitality as we build relationships with the peeps at our new church.

So, this week is quite special--I'm expectin' the in-laws!  Yee-haw!

Until they actually get here, we're gonna keep meals pretty simple so that we can focus on the important things in life--you know, purging and purifying each and every room so it looks not as if a batty home school family lives here and much more like the Cleavers, or at least somebodies more together than us.

Breakfasts
Easy Granola Bars ((w/flax seed & wheat germ, too))
Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake ((Whole Wheat modified))
Oatmeal x 2
Berry Yogurt Smoothies
Nut Butter on Toast
Baked Omelet & Cream Scones
...Seasonal Fruits totally included

Lunches
Nut Butter & Banana Sandwiches
Black Bean Quesadillas
Egg Drop Soup w/Carrots & Peas
Bean Burritos
Salmon Cakes
Berry Yogurt Smoothies
...Loaded w/Veggies & Fruits

Dinners
Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
Asian Chicken Napa Salad
Crockpot Tomato Soup & Grilled Provolone Cheese Sandwiches
Taco Salad
Dinner Out w/'rents
Crockpot Chili & Cornbread
Grilled Burgers on Homemade Buns
...Vegetables NOT Optional

Have a great and inspiring week, y'all!

And don't forget to peruse the menus of many other near-strangers at The Organized Junkie.  It's like fumbling through your brother's sock drawer: you never know what you might find.
