Menu Plan Monday

So I’ve been trying to come up with ways to be a better blogger. I figure if people that know me are nice enough to come and check me out, I should probably have a little something worthwhile every once in a while. Actually, I’m trying to be more consistent in all things, period. So here is the first of the cool ideas I will be sharing: Menu Plan Monday.

My poor children… Since I’ve been working full-time as a single mom, they just haven’t been fed well at all. They’re not hungry (no need to alert the authorities ;) ), but it is not at all the quality of food that I want them to have. Plus, it really bothers me that I’m setting them up to be just as clueless about cooking as I am. I’m too tired to think about it when I get home. So I don’t. And we end up eating (what I call) crap. If I knew what to do, I’d get it started. And A would help gladly (as she did tonight). So from now on I’ll think about it once a week, and I will know what to do, and we’ll eat much better.

So without further ado, this week’s very simple, first-time, from a non-cooker plan. :)

Monday: Beef tacos, Green beans
Tuesday: BBQ Chicken, Mac-n-chz, Carrots
Wednesday: Not-So-Spaghetti w/ veggie meat, Green beans
Thursday: Thanksgiving at friend’s house
Friday: Creamy Chicken w/ rice, Cob Corn
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Crockpot Chicken & Noodles

Might be time to subscribe to Taste of Home magazine again. Maybe once my accounts stop hemorrhaging and my rent is not 2 months behind on top of that. And did I mention our heat went out? In Michigan. *sigh* I’m just glad the range is not gas, so I can heat the place with the oven and not worry about carbon monoxide on top of worrying about anyone getting burned. Thankfully the 2 year-old is very bright and stays very far away from any sort of danger, including heat sources. So we’re safe, and warm, and now we’re fed too. :)
