Here's a little bonus recipe for you this morning, even though it's not Wednesday! :)

Scott recently discovered Panera Bread's new yogurt, fruit and granola parfaits. They are yummy, but he doesn't want to spend the time and money to go to Panera every morning. So, he made up his own version!


Scottie's Yummy Breakfast Parfait


Vanilla yogurt
Honey Bunches of Oat Cereal "Just Bunches" version
Strawberries/blueberries, washed and cut


Combine all ingredients for a good, healthy breakfast or snack! Spoon into a plastic cup for a "to-go" version like Panera's!

How did last week's menu plan go? Did you follow it? Or did you splurge and eat out?

Just wondering how this whole planning thing works. . .

Well last week went pretty well I would say. a lot of people that do this sort of thing grocery shop only once a week, buy everything they need in one trip. I couldnt do that, since the raw chicken we used Thursday night for dinner wouldnt have kept from that Sunday, the salad stuff needed to be bought the day of, etc. but its not a big deal for us to run to the store when needed.
so, so far, so good I would say. I dont think there's been any major benefit right now, but hopefully we will see results on the $ side of things soon!
