Chewin'

the News

August 2004

Do you struggle with serving the same old stuff every day for breakfast and lunch? Tired of toast and juice, or peanut butter and jelly? Why not schedule a rotation for these two meal chores. Maybe you can pick out your 14 favorite breakfasts and lunches and place them on the calendar. This will eliminate the decision-making in the early hours of the day and aid you in shopping. You can make sure you have what you need on-hand for these meals. This is another great use for the Meal Planning Calendar in your worksheet section. Post it on your refrigerator, or some other safe place and refer to it in the morning to know what you will have to do to prepare in advance for these meals.

Feel free to substitute lunch items for breakfast items. There is no law stating that waffles are only for breakfast or grilled cheese sandwiches are only for lunch! Use your creativity to come up with your own list of favorites. The items that are marked with  can be frozen. The ones marked with  are recipes that can be found in this manual.

Once a week or so, you can look over your lunch and breakfast choices and make a shopping list that includes any items you will need.
