Menu planning

I have been doing fairly well sticking to my menu plans the past few weeks and I am even trying to double one or two of our meals and sock some away in the freezer for nights I don't feel like cooking or when we have unexpected dinner guests. :)

I tried a few new recipes last week and shared two of them here.

Here is what's on the menu the next two weeks:

Monday:
Omelets, hashbrowns and turkey bacon

Tuesday:
BLT s made with leftover bacon and a side of pasta salad (leftover from Sunday's BBQ)

Wednesday:
Mini olive and tomato pizzas on whole wheat English muffins

Thursday:
Dinner @ moms

Friday:
Paninis (how do you spell this?!) and spinach salad

Saturday:
We will be volunteering at the Relay For Life all day and night so likely we will be eating pizza.

Sunday:
Crockpot Orange Chicken and brown rice (first time making this so I will let you know how it goes)


Monday:
Baked ground beef burritos (will double to make a batch to freeze) with Spanish rice

Tuesday:
Taco salad using leftover ground beef

Wednesday:
@ mom's

Thursday:
Grilled cilantro lime chicken with Greek couscous salad (both new recipes)

Friday:
Chicken, feta, spinach salad (using leftover chicken)

Saturday:
Steak kabobs

Sunday:
Turkey meatball subs

  2. Look at you!! Nice work mama!

    I have to admit I was somewhat relieved when you said you didn't make it to the blogger event cause I thought how awfully embarrassing if I didn't see you and you were there!! Totally understand why you couldn't make it; so hard to get away with little ones and all the coordination it requires.

  3. Wow! Great job. This is my goal today, to make a plan for the week. Our weekend consisted of Subway, and then an 8 pm pizza delivery last night. Ugh.
