Following is the lunch, snack, and dinner menu for the week. I have been using Menus 4 Moms for almost a year and it is a really helpful resource. I usually try to map out our lunch and snack menu for the week as well. My kids are like clockwork. They will be ready for a snack at 10ish, lunch at noon, and a snack again at 3 or so.
It's so much easier to have a menu and make it a no-brainer. I usually keep the menu on my fridge or in our household notebook.

Thanks for posting this - it had never occurred to me to plan weekday snacks and lunches, but yet that makes so much sense! My kids get hungry like clockwork too, and I feel like I'm always scrambling to figure out what to throw at them.
