Menu Plan Monday ~ May 2nd

Review of Last Week's New Recipes:

Our family really enjoys this German Apple Pancake recipe so I thought I'd try it last week using kefir to replace the milk for some added health benefits.

The recipe turned out perfect, although as usual I did double the number of apples called for.

Also, I would never try to fix this recipe to feed 6-8 people as the recipe calls for. Our family of five, three of whom are under four can easily put the whole thing away with no leftovers. I have increased the recipe to 1 1/2 times and used my larger 12 inch skillet to feed approximately 6 adults.

This Week's Menu

Monday: 
Tim's working, so it's just the kids and me.

Not sure what he's making yet.

*Peanut Butter Pie (x3)
 (For the crust I'll use peanut butter cookies instead of chocolate (my husband and kids don't eat chocolate) for the crust and skip the sugar. I'll also make it a little healthier by using all natural ingredients and replacing the white sugar with powdered turbinado. I'll also reduce the sugar and skip the butter in the filling. I'll be playing around with this recipe quite a bit and hope to have a great healthier peanut butter pie recipe for you next week.)
