Menu Plan Monday, 12-17-07
We did a bit better this last week at keeping with the menu plan. It’s been hard without a car and my time not being my own. When I get home it is usually a bit later than I expect, and then it’s DH bringing me home and the kids want to see him before he leaves to go to his place. And sometimes he takes a nap. And he doesn’t ever stay to eat with us, so it doesn’t feel right to start cooking when he’s here. But I might just have to get over that because last week was so chaotic that I didn’t even get one meal planned. Thankfully we ate somehow. Planning at the last minute for this week, starting tonight with whatever is left over in the fridge.
Monday: Leftovers - Spaghetti from the neighbor for kids; Pizza for mom
Tuesday: Damn Darn Good Chili (I was taken aback by the name when I first bought it, but now wish they wouldn’t have sold out and changed the name.)
Wednesday: Salmon Steaks, rice & veggies
Thursday: Breakfast - Pancakes, eggs, not-bacon, fruit
Friday: Lasagna
Saturday: Chicken Quesadillas, Corn, Green Beans
Sunday: Beef Au Gratin, Peas
Okay, still not terribly original but it works for my purposes, which is basically having any plan at all so that we don’t just end up eating crap because it’s the last minute every night and I’m stressed and clueless and looking for the easiest thing considered edible.
I should also have something a little more solid for the kids’ lunches too. Had planned to start that next week, but I guess there’s no point in waiting, eh?
Monday: Rotisserie Chicken, Cherries, Green Grapes
Tuesday: Pizza
Wednesday: Cheese Quesadillas
Thursday: Leftover Chili
Friday: Mac & Chz w/ imitation crab, Green Beans
Saturday: Church Potluck
Sunday: Leftovers
