We have not been out to eat in an entire week!  This is possible with the generosity of friends who share party leftovers on Sunday.  This weeks’ menu plan looks a little bit more balance than last week.  I did spend some time in our refrigerator and freezers this weekend to get a better idea of what we have for food.  I am anticipating the next couple of weeks being much easier now that I have a better idea of what we have and also the kids all get to enjoy our junk food Sunday.  The even better news is that I only need to purchase a couple of items for junk food Sunday so it will definitely not be a budget buster!

Breakfast– Saturday- Artisan bread eggs and cheddar bay sausage balls.  Sunday-MY mom treated with bagels which we have not had in several weeks! .  Monday-Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday -choice of breakfast muffins, eggs, , sausage, oatmeal, cereal or grits or breakfast burritos. I am trying to talk Matt into making a batch of waffles to freeze but so far no luck!
Lunch- – Saturday- Pizza and cheese bread- treat from oldest daughter. Sunday- Party leftovers with friends.    Monday- Friday Leftovers, and rice or pasta. The kids are actually starting to think ahead and take some hot meals for lunch.
Dinner- – Saturday- Anniversary party food.  Sunday-Mexican Street corn soup. Monday-Copycat PF Chang lettuce wraps, vegetable fried rice and egg rolls.  Tuesday-Baked Ziti and copycat bread sticks Wednesday- Crockpot cube steak, mashed potatoes, cole slaw and air fryer corn.  Thursday-Fish sticks and French fries with fruit..  Friday- pulled pork and baked beans. possible peach pie.

Here’s to meal planning being much easier!
