Monday Menu Post 8/2

I know this is a day earlier but hey at least I got it posted! So even tho things are dramatically changing over here, I am still doing the menu planning for now with the rule that he can change if he feels like it! Last week we stuck to plan except for the cabbage rolls which were replaced by a trip to Applebee’s and we had them at lunch on Sunday with friends. Next week the post will be about how we plan to eat on vacation at the beach :).

Monday: Chicken Fried Rice (double portion, one to be frozen to be consumed at the beach), egg rolls
Tuesday: Hamburger steaks (Angel Food) and corn on the cob
Wednesday: Seafood night (Angel Food)
Thursday: Lasagna (Angel Food)
Friday: Steaks and left over sides from the fridge to clean it out!
Saturday: Grilled chicken, pasta, and peanut butter desert with awesome friends from Africa
Sunday: MYRTLE BEACH, here we come!

Hope to post at least a couple more times this week but no promises

Monday Menu Post 7/5

Last week, I did not have a menu post and it showed. So I am making it a must have..especially on the weeks I work. Matt may even start checking to see what he is suppose to cook.

Monday- Leftovers or pizza at the pool. Since we are headed there after nap then supper is a grab and go.
Tuesday- Burritos made with Taco rice so I can use the tomatoes that need to be cooked.
Wednesday- Matt in charge of cooking..my Mom’s having surgery..Brats on the grilled with corn on the cob
Thursday- Seafood- probably shrimp and deviled crab
Friday- Depending on what we do for dinner on Monday..Maybe pizza or sandwhiches.

Menu Post for Week of 6/21

Yeap it is Wednesday but I am posting the menu for the week. With Remington’s birth on Monday, things have been off schedule all week. But I want to keep up with the rest and this just help my brain think.

Monday-Breakfast (Lily’s request and Matt cooked)
Tuesday- Chicken and Turkey filet (Father’s Day meal for my Dad)
Wednesday- Spaghetti
Thursday- Seafood (Boiled shrimp is Lily’s favorite) Salad leftover from Tuesday to go with it
Friday- Pizza from Pizza Hut (plan on using a coupon should be around 20 for all of us to eat)

Simple but good!

Monday Menu Post 6/14

Last week, we did really well sticking to the menu plan except for Friday, when I made sweet meatballs for dinner. This week will be an unusual one for us. Basically, I am trying to use up alot of things out of the freezer. Angel Food is distributed on Saturday and we are planning on the “summer trip” to Costco. I was hoping for another week of Harris Teeter triples or super doubles but since that didn’t happen, I need to restock alot of stuff. Everyone is home for the summer which means 3 meals a day for all 7 of us. In addition, I am planning on going to the pool at least a couple of times a week, which means we need snacks and drinks.

Monday- Salisbury steak (already frozen) potatoes and fruit.
Tuesday- Chicken fried rice and Egg Rolls
Wednesday- Baked ziti and garlic bread
Thursday- Steaks on the grill
Friday-Fish sandwiches and French fries

Monday Menu Post 6/07

Well last week was ok… we managed to stick to the plan for 3 of the 5 days. Over the weekend, we ended up splurging. Matt and I had our anniversary dinner out on Saturday night. Then on Sunday, we ate out 2 meals with friends. So it it back to eating at home this entire week. My goal is to not eat out at all. I still have not made the “tator tot cassrole” so I am taking it off the menu. This is the last week of school so we are going to start eating out of the freezor as well.

Monday: Tacos (I have to pick up some lettuce and tomatoes for this)
Tuesday: Ham steak with brown sugar carrots and stewed apples (This is all food that needs to be eaten before it starts to go bad.)
Wednesday: Steaks on the grill
Thursday: Grilled chicken
Friday: Chicken fried rice or spaghetti

I hope we can stick to this. I will be making a trip to Costco next weekend. I need to pick up some hamburger meat as this is the only meat we do not get from Angel Food now.
