Menu Planning Monday

I love when it's "Birthday Week" because I hardly have to cook at all :)

Monday - Hot Dogs with my parents
Tuesday - Pizza at church
Wednesday - Pasta, salad, broccoli, garlic bread
Thursday - Breakfast for dinner
Friday - OUT with the hubby
Saturday - Ravioli, salad, bread
Sunday - Lunch a la MIL

Pretty easy week, eh?

Menu Planning Monday

Well, last night I almost killed my family with the most decadent dinner and dessert ever: Chicken Pasta Alfredo with salad and garlic bread and S'more cookies for dessert. The cookies were so rich I could barely eat one! I got the recipe from Parenting magazine (thanks Jan & Sarah for the gift subscription!) and will post it later.

This week, I intend for us to eat meals from what I have on hand in the pantry and freezer. The only things I'll need from the grocery are milk, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Cheap week!

Monday: Corned beef hash with potatoes and onions, Eggs, Fruit salad
Tuesday: Turkey noodle casserole with peas and carrots, Salad, Bread
Wednesday: Broiled sole, Baked potato, Green beans, bread
Thursday: French toast, Sausage links, Fruit salad
Friday: Free For All - leftovers, sandwiches...you fix it, you can eat it :)
Saturday: Ravioli, Green beans, Garlic Bread
Sunday: Shrimp scampi, Pasta, Broccoli, Bread

I think that will nearly wipe out my freezer!

Menu Planning Monday

Monday: Beef stew, rice, roasted asparagus, green salad
Tuesday: Roasted chicken, brown rice, green beans, tossed salad
Wednesday: Chicken noodle casserole, peas, tossed salad
Thursday: Minestrone
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: hmmmm
Sunday: more hmmmm

I'm not motivated enough to think past Friday right now!

This week, we will be eating only what's in the fridge, freezer & cabinets. I think I've done very well with stockpiling recently, so there shouldn't be any need to go grocery shopping until next week. Yeah! That's the BEST way to save money...just stay home!

This week's menu

**9/23/08**I've had to update my menu since I filled the house with smoke last night!! Last Friday, both Sophie & I were puny with sinus troubles so John bought DiGiorno pizza (very cheap with coupons of course - pizzas on sale for $5.99, he used $1 Food Lion coupon plus $1 off coupon I got on a box of Capri Sun last week!) Anyway, the pizza magically fell through the oven rack making a huge mess. In my medicine haze, I forgot to clean it all weekend. Then last night, as I preheated the oven to roast my chicken, the smoke roiled out of the oven. I was actually afraid that there was a real fire in there!! Suffice it to say, we had cantaloupe, cottage cheese and crackers for dinner!
