Menu Plan Monday - August 18, 2008

Last week's plan went by without a hitch! I was so excited to make this week's plan that I did it this past Friday. I can't wait to make a menu for the next month. I have pre-ordered groceries from Angel Food Ministries. I pick-up them up on Saturday August 23. I will have entrees for 16 meals, a few vegetables, and fresh fruits. I am extremely excited as I've never ordered Angel food before but I've been told that everything is great quality at a great price.

Menu Plan Monday-August 11, 2008

It's been months since I've participated in Menu Plan Monday, but I've realized without a plan I ending up spending way too much money, and our meals are no where near as enjoyable. I actually created my Menu Plan on Saturday before I went grocery shopping. It worked really well for me, and I was able to start my plan yesterday!

Lunch & Breakfast doesn't really change much. All of us, except for my daughter, eat sandwiches for lunch. Her lunch usually consists of cucumbers, carrots, grape tomatoes, and cheez-itz. Sometimes breakfast is just a granola bar. I try to have things that you can grab as your running out the door and things that can be cooked if you have time.

Menu Plan Monday

I make a good menu plan, but I have trouble with the follow through! Check out other menu plans over at Org Junkie.com

Last week my menu plan was to make Meatloaf, Baked Coconut Shrimp, Meatball Soup, and Spaghetti. Well, I didn't make any of it! I haven't been cooking a lot lately because we've had so much going on at the church. We are eating on the go. My family is sick of sandwiches, and drive thru. So, this week we are going to try again... I don't have anything planned for this week, so I'm really going to try to do better.

I'll let you know if I am able to do it.

Menu Plan Monday or Tuesday - March 17 - 21

Visit Laura over at Org Junkie for more Menu Plans. Remember my menu plan is exactly that a plan. Most of my plans don't go as planned! LOL!! Last week I made the Chicken Alfredo & the Mini Chicken Pot Pies and that was all, even then I didn't make them on the days that I said I would!

I've decided after seeing MJ's menu plan over at What A Crock is just to give 5 meals and then I'll make them as I see fit. Sometime this week I will make:

Nachos I made these last night so, 1 down, 4 to go!
Baked Coconut Shrimp, Rice & Salad
Meatloaf, Corn, Sweet Peas & Mashed Potatoes
Spaghetti
Meatball Soup

I'll let you know if I do better this week!

Menu Plan Monday - March 10

This week I'm trying to clean out my pantry. I didn't get to the salmon croquettes last week so I'm putting them back on the list for this week. Check out orgjunkie for more menus!

Monday - Turkey Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, and Green Beans (I substitute ground turkey for ground beef)

Tuesday - Chicken Alfredo with Garlic Bread

Wednesday - Meatball Soup

Thursday - Salmon Croquettes, Black Eyed Peas, and Mac & Cheese (I add about 1/4 tsp of lemon pepper to the Salmon mixture)

Friday - Mini Chicken Potpies, Glazed Carrots, and Broccoli & Cheese

The best thing about my entire menu is that I don't have to go to the store for anything!! Wow, isn't that amazing!
