Menu Tuesday

April 13, 2010 by Aliesha

Because Tad often takes off Mondays as a day of rest (since he is in the ministry), we sometimes don’t meal plan and grocery shop until Tuesday. Still, I thought I should post my menu plans for the week!

We’re still eating things from the freezer and from our March AFM box. I didn’t have to buy many groceries this week, which was nice!

Monday
Lunch: BLTs (packed)
Dinner: out

Tuesday
Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: bacon-wrapped turkey fillet mignon, green beans, baked potatoes, peach tea

Wednesday
Lunch: chef salads with hard-boiled eggs, croutons, and roast beef
Dinner: hamburgers, oven fries, mixed vegetables

Thursday
Lunch: ramen noodles, fruit
Dinner: tacos, all the fixin’s

Friday
Lunch: lunchmeat sandwiches
Dinner: crockpot Italian chicken, baked potatoes, broccoli

Saturday
Lunch: grilled cheese sandwiches
Dinner: whole wheat homemade pizza with spinach and chicken

Sunday
Lunch: leftovers/sandwiches
Dinner: loaded baked potatoes

What’s on your menu for the week?

Saturday
Lunch: chicken salad, croissants, Italian pasta salad, veggie platter, fresh fruit
Dinner: ham, fried potatoes, Caesar coleslaw, mixed veggies

Sunday (Easter)
Breakfast: egg-bacon souffle, toast, juice, coffee

I’m making a lot of different recipes this week (some new, some old) that I haven’t posted about before. I’ll try to take lots of pictures of what I make so I can post the recipes next week sometime! A lot of these are family favorites, so I’d love to share them with you!

What are you making for Easter dinner?

Menu Monday

March 22, 2010 by Aliesha

Our menus this week are VERY SIMPLE to help counteract the crazy-busyness that comes with closing, packing, moving, and all the “normal” stuff we still have going on this week! So… no really exciting recipes this time around… sorry. (If it were just me, I would eat tossed salads and cereal all week! haha.)

On the positive side is we’ll have a low grocery bill (again) this week!

Breakfasts: oatmeal, cereal, eggs

Lunches: deli meat sandwiches, burritos, PB&J, leftovers, etc.
Sides: apples, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, etc.

Dinners: grilled chicken breasts, beef shepherd’s pie, spaghetti with meat sauce, leftovers
Sides: green beans, tossed salad, baked potatoes, Angel rolls

We are closing on our house on Tuesday(!), moving all week, and having our BIG moving day on Saturday. If all goes well, we should be spending Saturday night at our new house!
