Menu Planning Monday

Happy June, Everyone! I love the month of June. It used to mean getting out of school and summer break. Now it means longer days, more family time, and grilling out! Our move to Texas two years ago left us with extremely hot summers, but we do still enjoy them ... as long as we can safely return to our A/C!

Monday - Hamburgers on the grill, light summery pasta salad (some sort of pasta, Italian dressing and an assortment of veggies) and corn

Tuesday- Tacos (we didn't do these last week!)

Wednesday - Hotdogs on the grill, some fruit in season, chips

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Bbq ribs, on the grill, with potatoes and green beans

Saturday - Peanut Chicken Salad (again, we forgot this last week!)

Sunday - BBQ Chicken

As you can see, some of it is a little vague, I am going to go to the store today to pick up the rest of the items we need, then I can update things like "some fruit in season" LOL

Weekly Menu

Monday - Grilling out :) YUMMO! We didn't get to do this on Friday, so we are at it again :)

Tuesday - Tacos

Wednesday - Peanut Chicken Salad...sooooo yummy!

Thursday - Amanda's Beans and Rice and Corn Bread

Friday - Pizza

Saturday - Add in Hamburger Helper - The plain kind doesn't have much (if any) nutritious value... I add all sorts of things to help that out!

Sunday BBQ Chicken, corn and salad

Monday Menu :)

Monday: Pesto Chicken (I use one of my free Kraft dressings as a marinade...really yummy) some sort of veggie and potatoes

Tuesday: Feta Burgers...YUMMMO! Prepare meat the way you would normally for burgers (we use lots of seasoning, Worcestershire etc) and mix in crumbled Feta. Its to die for!

Wednesday: Chicken Puffs, white rice, and chicken gravy

Thursday: Spaghetti, garlic toast and green beans

Friday: Pizza - I just tried the new great value brand (Walmart) pizza, they are surprisingly very good! These are the big ones in the white box. They are quite heavy and are cheaper than the other brands. Only $4.50 at my store :)

Saturday: Hot dogs on the grill, (DH is the grill master!!) pasta salad, baked beans

Sunday: Chicken of some sort

Meal Plan Monday

This will be my first week doing this, but I think it will be really helpful for my budget to plan ahead. I try to do this the day before but sometimes that still has me running to the store for last minute things. So lets see how it goes!!

Monday-Calzones - new recipe, I will review :)

Tuesday-Chicken Puffs and white rice

Wednesday- Tacos

Thursday- Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and a veg

Friday-Country BBQ Chicken, corn and salad

Saturday- Leftovers/throw together

Sunday- Some sort of pasta

Ok, so its not TOTALLY planned, but its a step in the right direction :)
