I cannot tell you how much it helps me to set aside a few minutes and plan in advance for all meals for the week. Usually I start by just jotting down items we already have (or meals I can make quickly from what we have on hand). If there's a recipe I want to try but don't have the ingredients, I'll put them on my grocery list (if they're fairly inexpensive) or watch for a sale (if they're more expensive).
This week, I have just about everything already from stocking up when stuff was on a great sale. I ran to the store tonight, though, for the red beans, frozen spinach, cottage cheese, milk, tomato soup, cheese, and a few other items.
Monday:Oatmeal & grapefruit
Baked potato bar
Roast, potatoes, carrots
Tuesday:
Oven Baked omelet, oranges
Grilled cheese, tomato soup
Shepherd's Pie (from leftover roast), salad
Wednesday:
Waffles with berries and cottage cheese
Chicken salad, grapes, cherry jello
Chinese Chicken, rice, coleslaw
Thursday:Cereal, bananas
Steak and cheese quesadillas (leftover roast)
Potato cheese soup, biscuits
Friday:
Lemon Poppyseed bread, fruit salad, yogurt
Leftovers
Pizza night
Saturday:
Pancakes, orange juice
Spinach quiche, glazed carrots
Fish, baked potatoes, peas, cherry cobbler
Sunday:
Oven pancakes
Chili-Cheese dip, chips
snacks and leftovers

I think everyone's having quesadillas this week! I may have to add that one to my menu. ;)Potatoe cheese soup sounds really good for a chilly night!
ReplyDeleteI can attest to that! Planning out meals has saved us over $60 a week. We used to just go to the store and pick out what we wanted and ended up with a $100 bill each week (for two of us). Now we plan our meals and shop at Aldi and we spend about $40 per week. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteYour menu sounds delicious!! We are having cheesy potato soup this week too!!
