Just so it’s known, my meal plans don’t ALWAYS go according to schedule. If I had to guess, I would say we do about 85% of what it says. Sometimes we change due to things that come up, we don’t feel like chicken that day or we have more leftovers than expected. Additionally, I may be too tired to make breakfast or we don’t have an ingredient, and I didn’t realize it.
A few notes on my schedule. First, when I write LOs it means leftovers.
Second, if you see something on the schedule for dinner 2 weeks in a row, it’s probably because it didn’t get made the first week I had it on there.
Third, my hubby and I thought about how our boys seem to eat really well in the morning and during the day. My boys almost never eat dinner (unless it is goulash). So, we thought we would try to make dinner meals in the lunch area a few days and see how it goes!

Looks great! I've never used spelt flour before. I'm going to have to give that a try!
Spelt flour is an ancient variety of wheat. It has less gluten and tends to need less wetness when used in baking. We use it due to my husband and son's wheat allergy. It is a bit more expensive than regular or whole grain wheat flour at about $1.70 per lb.
Ah, I see. I've heard of it but never used it. May not be so inclined to if it costs that much more. How does the flavor compare to wheat?
To tell the truth, I can't really tell any difference, but I don't have the best taste buds. When making chocolate cake, we could tell that it was a little more grainy, but that was about it. Spelt used to be cheaper than wheat (about 4 years ago), but then something happened with supplies of one or the other.
