Menu Plan Monday: April 21-27, 2008


I have always liked the idea of menu planning just so I don't have to think about the inevitable "What's for dinner?" question that's bound to get asked just as I am walking collapsing in the door from work. I am also trying to cut our grocery bill by being more organized and actually eating everything we buy. (I tend to grocery shop each week out of habit, rather than out of need. Not only do I not usually need what I buy, but I would much rather have the time and money for doing something else!)


Here are the meals we have on schedule for the coming week. (Given our multiple evening activities for this week that include dinner, I am getting off easy!)

Breakfasts:
Pancakes
Oatmeal
Cereal
Toast w/Jam

Snacks:
Fruit (Oranges, Apples, Bananas)
Jello
Cheese sticks
Pretzels
Crackers & Peanut butter
Carrot Sticks
Cottage Cheese
Yogurt

Lunches:
Turkey & Cheese Sandwiches
Grilled Cheese
Tuna on Crackers
Pizza
Pigs in a Blanket
Leftovers

Dinners:
Monday--Church function w/dinner buffet
Tuesday--Lasagna, salad, garlic bread
Wednesday--Potato-leek soup, cheddar biscuits
Thursday--Shrimp Alfredo, TX toast
Friday--Rehersal Dinner for Wedding Saturday
Saturday--Wedding Reception
Sunday--Tilapia marinated in honey/lime/garlic, corn, scalloped potatoes
