Menu Plan Monday
For the last few weeks, I’ve been slowly adding more fresh fruits and vegetables to our diets – and that also means trying some new fruits and vegetables and bringing back some old favorites we haven’t had in a while. Last week we bought an eggplant on a whim and made Eggplant Parmesan. We really liked it a lot! (Well, the kids and I did – we couldn’t get Big Daddy to taste it.) 
This week, we’ve bought an acorn squash. We’ve never had acorn squash and I think we might try Paula Deen’s Baked Acorn Squash with Brown Sugar and Butter. What do you think? Any acorn squash suggestions??
Here’s our menu for this week (check out all the fresh fruits & veggies!):
Monday:
- B – Cereal & Strawberries
