Menu Plan Monday

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was busy but good. One of the things that I have been doing on the weekends is meal planning for the following week. Actually I have been making a menu plan on Thursday nights for the following week and putting a grocery order in to pick up on Fridays after Ben's therapy appointment as his therapist is right across the street from Kroger. This system seems to working  now and has allowed me some peace when it comes to what is for dinner. I think that to continue this system, I also want to start sharing what we ate and what we will eat for the week on Mondays. 

So let's start that today: 

What we ate this past week: 

SUNDAY: Chicken Enchiladas and Corn

MONDAY: Chicken and Wild Rice Soup, rolls

TUESDAY: BBQ pulled pork sandwich, tator tots, cole slaw

WEDNESDAY: Girl dinner: meatballs, rolls, green beans, mashed potatoes

THURSDAY: Leftovers

  FRIDAY: McDonald's (It had been a LONG WEEK!) Sorry no picture. 

SATURDAY: Rebecca and I were in Bowling Green Ohio for a college audition for her and we ate a diner. 

SUNDAY: Creamy Italian sausage ditalini soup, homemade garlic bread on hamburger buns

*************************************

What we will eat this week:

Monday: The boys are with their dad, so it's just Rebecca and I. I think I will saute a couple thin steaks, roasted potatoes and broccoli?  

Tuesday: BLTs, macaroni and cheese

Wednesday: Hot dogs, baby carrots, baked beans?

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Pizza and fruit

Saturday: The boys are with their father. Rebecca and I will get something out as she has OMEA Solo and Ensemble competition

Sunday: Cheese and Chicken casserole, green beans, applesauce, rolls

What are you eating this week?

  1. I find even if I go off my plan (and I usually do) making one keeps me in check with what I have on hand and keeps me from wasting food just because I forgot what I had available.

  2. Sounds like that plan is really working for you! Your food looks yummy. I'm trying a new recipe tonight called Asian Bowtie pasta, I found it on the back of the carton of chicken stock and happened to have everything on hand. Hope you have a wonderful week!
