Mom's Menu 4/11-4/16
Who's ready for some more awesome meal/menu inspiration?!
If you caught my post the other day about how I have been keeping breakfast and lunch options fresh, easy and kid-friendly, you'll see that I'm still continuing to follow that route.
I am trying to get back into making mostly meatless meals...not sure if you noticed that I deviated from the norm in a few of my recent Menu posts. But I'm getting back on track pretty well!
I try to limit the amount of dairy we use...we drink rice milk, for example...BUT I use real butter (Kerry Gold, baby!), some cheese...and eggs have become quite the staple around here lately. I need to find a local farmer that is an organic egg dealer, dude...because store prices on cage free are killing me. And they're not even organic.
Most of this week's inspiration came from Trim Healthy Mama and Paleo recipes. I meandered over to Pinterest to see what I could find...and boy did I find a lot of goodies! haha

Roasted zucchini and corn tostadas with sweet potato tots
