The same with dinner: do you do any prep ahead of time, or do you make it up late afternoon?

I’m waiting eagerly for more tips on streamlining this area–you seem to really have it down pat, so I’m anxious to glean ideas and tips!

Oh and I’d love to have you share the recipes for them if and when you have a chance.

I have tried the breakfast schedule. We seem to fall in and out of schedules rather frequently here b/c each week really has its own ebb and flow w/ varying dr's appts and now, my Pampered Chef parties. So, I'm learning to schedule with great flexibility and not get uptight that others may be able to maintain a more consitent schedule (for meals, cleaning, kids' activities, etc.) I'm a Type A that God is going to great lengths to make otherwise. :) That’s helpful and I’d love to see your recipes.

It's easier than you think. This takes me about 10-20 minutes. Breakfasts are always the same - except for the Infamous Indy cereal. So, I don't really think about that, just plug it in on its reg. day. Lunches are the same basic meals each week, only they move around depending on what's for dinner. The dinners are really not that exotic. These are all pretty simple meals that don't take long to prepare. I'll try to post some of them, so you can see. Good questions, Bri.

How long does it take for you to menu plan? I plan out menus for my dinners but that's about it. And, how do you not spend the entire day in the kitchen btw. cooking and clean up for all these meals?

Do you happen to have the recipe that you can share? :-) We are going blueberry picking tomorrow so it would be a good thing to make. <br/><br/>Great job on the menu! I love menu planning, but I got a nice break from it this week. The kids planned the meals this week instead! Ok, the blueberry coffee cake sounds really great.

So glad to hear that this is helpful. Yes, we do do snacks. In an effort to avoid hearing, "What can I have for a snack?" all day long, I'm encouraging the boys to forage and then ask me if it's ok. Generally, toast, crackers, fruit, yogurt, and cereal fall under that criteria. That is an area I need to get better organized. Hopefully, your prompting will move me to make a list for them, or something. Hi Lauren! So glad to hear that this is helpful. Yes, we do do snacks.

Out of curiosity, do you all do snacks?
