Menu Plan Monday: 3/9

Jason is working OT this week, so with him only being home tonight and Wednesday night, I am not planning out a menu. I do want to make something easy that he can take for lunch, but I haven't decided what that is yet. We had spaghetti tonight, and I'm going to try to make baked ziti on Wednesday for our family dinner night. I got a recipe from the Kroger coupon printer and I am going to make it too! I'll share that instead of a menu!

Monday Meal Plan 12-8

I firmly believe that meal planning is saving me *SO* much money on groceries. I am managing to not buy a lot of useless groceries that will go to waste. I am able to stock up my pantry using coupons and sales and plan meals based on my stockpile! I highly recommend that you give it a try for at least a month and see how you do. If you need more ideas, head over to orgjunkie to see many other meal plans!

Menu Plan Monday 11/24

It will be a shorter week for cooking with Thanksgiving coming up, but here's my plan... I found ground beef on sale this week, so we have meals focusing around that. I made a big pot of chili and spaghetti last night, so most meals and lunches will come from that.

Monday: Chili and cornbread
Tuesday: Spaghetti, salad, homemade bread
Wednesday: hamburgers, homemade fries
Thursday: TURKEY! We are doing potluck, so we will be making turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rolls
Friday: leftovers
Saturday: turkey casserole, rolls

I'll try to freeze any leftovers in single servings for Jason to use for lunches next month!

Meal Plan Monday 11/17

I want to use up some stuff we have in the freezer and pantry, so here's my plan for the week:

Monday: baked chicken with rice and broccoli
Tuesday: pulled pork sandwiches with homemade french fries
Wednesday: chicken, dumplings, and yellow squash (from the garden!)
Thursday: soup and sandwich
Friday: leftovers
Saturday: steak, baked potatoes, homemade rolls
Sunday: Panera Bread! YUM

Meal Plan Monday

One of the easiest ways to save money is to look over what you have already in your pantry and freezer, plus make note of what is on sale for the week, and make out a meal plan. You will be less likely to make impulse trips to the grocery store or restaurants that way. I know it works, so I plan on starting it again this week. Here's my plan:

Monday: Pinto beans (in crockpot), corn bread, fried potatoes, and pork chops (I have all this already!)

Tuesday: We have some left-over spaghetti noodles, so I want to make a batch of red sauce, cook up some ground beef, and have spaghetti. Pair that with a loaf of homemade Italian bread.

Wednesday: We have all the ingredients for pizza; the crust will be made in the bread machine.

Thursday: I'm on my own today; I will have leftovers from Monday.

Friday: I'm on my own again today; I have tomato soup in the 'fridge that needs to be used, so I'll have that with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Saturday: Treat Night; will have Jason pick up ChickFilA on his way home! :)
