Weekly Meal Plan #8

Last week Cade was at Summer Camp, so I chose not to meal plan. I knew that we would not be on a regular schedule, so I opted out. I am way behind on everything and am trying really hard to catch up. That means late meal plans, that are not overly exciting, and hopefully a Five on Friday post from last week on Monday night! It's an exciting life, I tell you.

Sunday Lunch - Grocery Store Fried Chicken, Fresh Roasted Potatoes, Squash, and Zucchini, Rice, and Zipper Peas ( We were given a ton of fresh veggies from a friends garden, so we kind of had a hodge podge, but it was good.)

Sunday Dinner - Take Out

Monday - Cheesy Chicken Bundles , Leftover Rice and Zipper Peas

Tuesday - Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, Roasted Potatoes, Squash, and Zucchini

Wednesday - Sloppy Joes, Oven Fries, Watermelon

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Takeout

Saturday - Pizza

Note - I don't post meal plans because we eat crazy good food all the time and never eat the same thing over and over. We have a real budget, a house full of picky eaters, and do go through phases of having repeat meals. I meal plan because it makes my life easier. It also makes it super easy to look up meals at the store in case I don't  make it to the store with a list written out. It happens.

Weekly Meal Plan #6

Sunday Lunch - Sticky Chicken Fingers and Macaroni and Cheese

I need to post my recipe for this, it's an adjusted version of this one.  I usually eat mine in a salad or sometimes a wrap, but my guys like them with macaroni and cheese.

Monday - Salisbury Steak Meatballs, Egg Noodles, and Peas

Tuesday - Lemon Crock Pot Chicken, Rice, and Roasted Brocolli

Aimee, from It's Overflowing featured my painted Media Cabinet today. Please go check it out!

Happy Monday!

Weekly Meal Plan #2

This week is super busy, so our meals are going to be super easy. Busy weeks are the weeks that meal planning really pays off. I plan easy meals based on how much time I will have so that we don't end up eating out every night.

 I don't have any pics to share just yet, but hopefully I will remember to take a pic each day, and can then add it to this post. Sound like a plan?


Sunday Lunch - Sub Sandwiches and Chips

Sunday Dinner - Loaded Omelets and Grits

Monday - Grilled Hamburgers, French Fries, and Baked Beans

Tuesday - Tacos and Mexi Rice

Wednesday - Pork Tenderloin in the Crockpot, with a side of Creamy Garlic Alfredo Sauce over noodles, and Steamed Broccoli

Thursday - BBQ Sandwiches (using leftover pork tenderloin), Chips, and Fruit

Friday- Homemade Pizza

Saturday - Birthday Dinner Out

Weekly Meal Plan #1

I am a meal planner. I generally plan a weeks worth of meals before heading out to the grocery store each week. Sometimes I assign themes to each day, sometimes I go by what we have on hand, what sounds good, or what is on sale. I just do whatever seems to be the simplest method at the time; there is no reason to complicate the process.Whatever your planning method, it saves time, money, and you will have an answer to the dreaded question, "what are we having for dinner?".

I used to list my meal plans here on the blog and then quit. I'm not sure why, really. You may not be interested, and that's okay, but I am one of those people that likes to see what everyone else eats. I'm planning to start taking more pics of the food that we eat so that i can post more pictures and then I'll link to the recipe that I use if there is one. I have a ton of meals that I don't use recipes for, so hopefully in time and can get some of those listed here as well.

The only meals I plan are dinner, with Sunday being the exception. I do plan for lunch and dinner on Sunday. During the week we have breakfast staples for breakfast, and then sandwiches, salads, and leftovers for lunch.

I pin a lot of recipes on my Let's Eat Board on Pinterest when I am browsing, and have a special board for all of the recipes that have turned into family favorites. 

Sunday Lunch -Sub Sandwiches
             Dinner - Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwiches

Monday - Aussie Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Roasted Squash

Tuesday - Spaghetti and Garlic Bread

Wednesday - N/A we'll be eating at church

Thursday - Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Rolls

Friday -  French Bread Pizza

Saturday - Fajita Quesadillas and Mexi Rice


Do you have a specific formula for planning your meals each week?

Meal Plan Feb. 2

I'm a little late with this, but here it is anyway. I was terrible this week and didn't take any pics of the boys, so there really isn't anything to recap. I am blaming it on my painting project. I am also going to blame the painting project for the reason I may or may not get to post much this week. I need to get it finished and get ready for Henry's Birthday on Saturday. We are just having a small family get together, but he gift is a DIY and it has been hard to get it done. He kind of lives here and it's hard to spray paint something in the yard during daylight and it remain a surprise. I still haven't started on it, and I'm still not sure how we are going to accomplish it, but I better figure it out pretty quick.

Saturday Simple Shrimp Tacos, White Cheese Dip (No one cared for the shrimp tacos, but the cheese dip was a HIT.I think it was the sauce. Publix was out of fresh cilantro so I used dry and I didn't care for the greek yogurt in this. I usually like it as a substitute for sour cream, but not this time. I think it would have been good with just some diced avocado, a little sour cream, a squirt of lime, and some fresh cilantro.)

Sunday Macho Nachos
Monday Pamesan Chicken Bake
Tuesday Small Group
Wednesday Skillet Lasagna
Thursday Breakfast for Dinner

Friday Take Out or Leftovers for my guys, I have a Thirty One Party 
(If you are interested in Thirty One, I have a private group on Facebook that you can ask to join. I will keep you up to date on specials and giveaways. If you are interested in placing an order or on fundraising opportunities please email me)
