Menu Plan Monday: July 4th 2011!

With 4th of July going on at the Museum today, I have to work this evening, and things are needless to say hectic around here.  I have lots of transcribing work to do this week and I work here at the Museum Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so meals around here are going to be very simple!  Here's what's cooking this week...

Breakfasts: Cold Cereal, Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies, or Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins with Fruit

Lunches: Fried Eggs on Waffles, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Grilled Chicken Buffalo Wraps, or Leftovers

Dinners:
Sunday - Taco Salad
