As much as I love having a menu in place and am a huge advocate of them, I’ve really let mine slide for the last 3 months!  So, I’m jumping back on the bandwagon and getting back to planning my weekly menu.  Not only does it take the stress of dinner off, but it also really helps to keep our grocery budget in check.  So, here’s my menu plan for the week.

 

Breakfast:

Granola bars Amish Baked Oatmeal Pancakes

Lunch:

Leftovers Sandwiches Ravioli Ramen Noodles (my kids love these)

Dinner:

Monday: Grandma’s Soup (aka Poor Man’s Soup) Tuesday: Crock Pot Pinto Beans, cornbread, & potatoes Wednesday: Refried bean burritos Thursday: spaghetti with sauce & garlic bread Friday: Chicken fajitas with Spanish Rice Saturday: Leftovers Sunday: Crock Pot Beef Tips & Rice

There’ll be more sides – just not sure what I’ll add with which dinner yet. 

 

There’s my first menu plan of 2012!  I honestly don’t know why I let menu planning fall to the way side last year, but I did.  I love having a plan in place.  It makes life so much simpler.  So, what’s on your menu this week?  Not sure?  Well, head on over the Organizing Junkie for more great menu plans & ideas!
