Monday Menu Week #5
This week we are changing it up a bit at Treasured Tidbits and will be adding breakfast, lunch and snack menus to our weekly Monday Menu. We have added a little one to our house three days a week and can no longer just “toss” something together at the last minute. And since I am a SUPER COOL babysitter we are planning to have “themed” snacks.
This week’s theme is “pirates” and I will be including the links for the snacks we hope to make. Of course, we will also make fun crafts, dress up and study a bit about pirates too.
How do you liven up summer for your little ones?

What’s on your menu this week?
Side note: A few of you have asked how we can afford steaks on our budget? First, they are not NY Strip but Ribeye or something similar. They are also on sale AND in the markdown section. Example: I just purchased four delicious thinly sliced ribeyes (1 lb total) for only $1.35 (the entire package). This is the only way we can afford to eat steaks regularly.
