Menu Plan for week of 2/26

This is it.  This is the last menu for February.  I waiver between being excited and being frightened with how quickly time flies.  Though my revolutionized menu plan is working well, I am thinking it will not be long until I change my master plan to fit the spring/summer season.  Think grill. 

Now that we are all hankering for a juicy grilled burger, I will share what is on the menu for the rest of this week.

Sunday Lunch: pork bbq sandwiches (yea for something I found in the freezer), chips, applesauce

Sunday dinner: Homemade Pizza

Monday through Saturday:

Baked ham, baked sweet potatoes, alfredo noodles

Chili, baked potato, salad

Boneless pork in crockpot  (being honest.  I haven’t figured out which recipe yet) scalloped potatoes, carrots

Easy oven chicken, skillet potatoes, roasted green beans

Manicotti, salad

Hamburgers , baked beans, baked sweet potatoes

Last week ended up being an odd week.  I am not sure what we ate or where my menu fell apart.  Regardless, we have several meals left from last week. 

• Chicken Enchiladas, rice and beans , salad   (yea for so may suggestions y’all gave me!)
• Broccoli & cheese soup, or potato and cheese soup, salad
• Baked maple salmon, homemade mac and cheese , lima beans
• Hotwing chicken, homemade fries, celery

Oh happy day. I am thinking I may not need to menu plan much for next week!

Hope you are getting your menu plan going!

Menu Plan: Week of 1/8/12

I have a feeling I am going to switch things around on my menu this week. I am on a “let’s try something new” kick. A master menu plan allows me to try something new if I want to. At the same time, if I lack inspiration or time, it’s all good. It’s all planned and ready to go.

This is to be our week to eat out. I am trying to kick that to the curb this week since I’ve instituted a cash challenge. The pressure is on to stay in budget. We may do a field trip on Friday which may lend to eating out. It is ok. I have cash.

Sunday Lunch: pork bbq sandwiches (made from left over pork from last week’s pork roast), chips, applesauce

Sunday dinner: leftovers

Rest of the week:

Foil chicken: I found this on Pinterest (hello easy)

Chili, baked potato, salad

Meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, carrots

Easy oven chicken, skillet potatoes, roasted green beans

Lasagna, salad

Hamburgers , baked beans, baked sweet potatoes

Minestrone soup another new recipe to try from Pinterest

It’s 2012. It’s time to get our Focus going. Have you focused on your menu plan yet?

Menu Plan for Week of 11/13

I have been making changes to simplify my life.   Since making meals seems to be a huge part of my time, I tackled that first.  My simplified system is still a huge success for my family.  I have actually found time to start using coupons again.  Yea for simplicity!

I worked hard to make sure my menu was diverse.  I wanted to avoid redundancies each week.  I am not sure what happened in week 5, but potatoes have taken over.  It made me smile.  Obviously, even a “successful” system can use tweaking . 

I apologize for not sharing links this week.  I plan to continue sharing recipes.  Eventually you will have links galore. 

This will be my last normal menu plan for the next two weeks.  Thanksgiving always switches things up a bit here.

Chili, baked potato, perhaps a salad

Meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, carrots

Easy oven chicken, mashed potatoes, peas

Grilled or Baked chicken, skillet or grilled potatoes, green beans

Lasagna, salad

Hamburgers or sloppy joes, baked beans, sweet potatoes

Mom and dad eat out, kids have something “fun”
