As it is now November and the heart of the Autumn season, I find our tastes in food have shifted with the weather. Evenings are dark by 1700, and growing darker by the day, and with the sun goes every vestige of warmth lent by the bright sun. Rain falls often, and the winds begin to gather speed, a precursor to the gale-force variety of the coming winter months. All of these cues lead up to a desire for more hearty soups, crusty bread, roasted meats, and the like. Below is my tentative menu plan for this week.

Sunday: B: Whole grain peanut butter chocolate chip bars, yogurt, fruit juice, milk
L: Leftovers
D: Crispy chicken, oven-roasted potatoes, dill peas, ice cream

Monday: B: Whole grain peanut butter chocolate chip bars, yogurt, fruit juice, milk
L: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fruit, veggie sticks, pretzels
D: Roast beef, garlic mashed potatoes, zucchini

Tuesday: B: Baked oatmeal with banana, maple syrup, and cinnamon, fruit juice
L: chicken noodle soup, fruit, crackers
D: Bacon, stuffed french toast, homemade applesauce topping

Wednesday: B: Whole grain peanut butter chocolate chip bars, yogurt, fruit juice, milk
L: chicken noodle soup, fruit, crackers
D: Beef pot pie w/ roasted veggies

Thursday: B: Whole grain peanut butter chocolate chip bars, yogurt, fruit juice, milk
L: --------
D: BBQ chicken skewers, baked sweet potato fries, broccoli

Friday: B: Oatbran cereal w/butter and brown sugar, fruit juice
L: Peanut butter and honey sandwiches, fruit, veggie sticks, pretzels
D: Pizza night->cheese & sundried tomato w/ham, salad/veggie sticks, ice cream
