Menu Plan: 03/13 – 03/19

mealplanmonday_v2

Well, last week’s menu ended up being a bust.  We all ended up sick so nothing past Monday was used.   Thankfully, the meats that I needed had been portioned out & frozen so nothing went bad, which is definitely a good thing.   I am even more thankful that we all seem to be on the mend.  God has really blessed us this winter in that we have really missed all of the major illness & just wound up with a really bad cold-like virus.  I’m very thankful that’s all it was.  This week, I’ll continue to push the fresh fruits for breakfast & snacks.   
Here’s our menu plan for the week:
Breakfast:
  • Fresh fruits (we have mangos, apples, & oranges as of Monday)
  • Eggs
  • Oatmeal
  • Cereal
  • Yogurt

Lunch:

  • Sandwiches
  • Leftovers
  • Fresh fruits
  • Yogurt

Dinner:

  • Sun:  Shephard’s Pie
  • Mon:  Beef Goulash
  • Tues: Pancakes, bacon, & eggs
  • Wed:  Spaghetti with homemade garlic bread
  • Thurs:  Leftovers
  • Fri:  Chicken & Broccoli
  • Sat:  Cheeseburger Pie
So, that’s our plan for this week.  We’ll see if we can stick a little closer to plan this time.  Don’t forget to check out Organizing Junkie again this week to see what everyone else is having this week.

Menu Plan: 03/06 – 03/12

I’m loving having my menu plan & recipes  handy in a little notebook right there in my kitchen.  It has sure helped to save me a lot of time, and even the girls can help out.  Last week, I did manage to find the time to cook up my ground beef & some of the chicken, which was then divided into the portions needed for each of my meals, labeled, and placed in the freezer.  I did the same with the chicken that I didn’t need to precook.   This is another huge time saver during the week.   The first couple of meals have been requests, so maybe not the most healthy, but oh-so-good! 
Here’s what’s on tap for this week:
Breakfast:
  • Oatmeal
  • Yogurt with granola
  • Fresh fruit

Lunch:

  • Sandwiches
  • Leftovers

Dinner:

  • Sun:  Slow cooker Jambalaya
  • Mon:  Country Fried Steak (per Brian’s request)
  • Tues:  Biscuits & Gravy
  • Wed: Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches
  • Thurs:  Leftovers
  • Fri:  Bistro Chicken Twist
  • Sat: Shephard’s Pie
