Breakfast: Breakfast burrito with fruit
Dinner: Taco salad and bacon cornbread muffins

Wednesday:
Breakfast: Breakfast sandwich and fruit
Dinner: Sheet pan buffalo chicken and broccoli

Thursday:
Breakfast: Pumpkin cinnamon rolls and cottage cheese
Dinner: Turkey mac and cheese skillet and biscuits
