June 14-20 Mostly dairy-free menu

"The earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters." Psalm 24:1-2 (NIV)

Found on the trail at Wildcat

Here is our next meal menu.  Again, it contains breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks.  I'm also including the recipe for the energy balls, because they are just soooo yummy!!  This menu is also mostly dairy-free, with only one recipe at the very end of the week containing dairy.  

Saturday:

B- Banana Pancakes (unless Daddy has time to make his pancakes)

L- BLT's, tortilla chips, raw carrots and snap peas

D- Beans & Keilbasa, soft cooked carrots

Sunday: Father's Day Dad's Choice

B- Cereal (we are really liking the original flavor rice milk for our cereal)

L- Chili Dogs, BBQ chips, raw veggies

D- French toast (using vanilla soymilk), fruit salad

Monday:

B- Oatmeals (using vanilla rice milk, pure maple syrup, and cinnamon)

L- Burritos (refried beans on a tortilla with non-dairy cheese), soft cooked carrots

D- Baked chicken breasts with seasoning, roasted potatoes, salad

Tuesday:

D- Grilling out with our Life Group

Wednesday:

L- Dairy-free mac n cheese, mandarin oranges

D- BBQ chicken on bun, mashed potatoes, peas

Thursday:

D- Biscuits & Gravy (with sausage, and containing dairy for the gravy), fruit of choice 

Friday:

L- out while grocery shopping

D- Homemade pizza  (sausage, canadian bacon, pepperoni, onion, olives, mushrooms, dairy-free cheese)

Snacks: peanut butter cookies, fruit, veggies and hummus, pita bread, trail mix, energy balls (recipe below), popcicles, crackers

No-Bake Energy Balls  (from www.gimmesomeoven.com)

1 cup (dry) oatmeal

1/2 cup chocolate or carob chips (optional)

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/3 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix up, roll into balls, and refrigerate. 

This is some delicious raw energy right here!  Yum!  My new favorite snack.  It is easy enough that a child who is old enough to know how to measure ingredients could make these independently.  My girls have already made some.  We have made them both with and without the chocolate chips and they are still just as satisfying for that sweet tooth.  

Have a blessed week!!
