Menu Plan Monday

I still plan menus, but have not kept up with it on my blog. If you don't menu plan, you should definitely give it a try! It saves you money in the grocery store and helps me to be much more efficient with my time. Even if I switch my days around, I still have a plan. My weakness was breakfast though. So I'm really trying to focus on that right now. So here goes:

~MONDAY:
Breakfast: Muffins and smoothies (muffins made on Sunday)
Lunch: Cheese and crackers with bananas
Dinner: Crockpot chicken thighs, scalloped potatoes, veggies

~TUESDAY:
Breakfast: Pancakes, bacon, oranges
Lunch: PB&J sandwiches, carrot sticks
Dinner: 5-Ingredient Pasta Toss (Meatless)w/salad

~WEDNESDAY:
Breakfast: Baked oatmeal
Lunch: Cheese Quesadillas with fruit
Dinner: Spaghetti with salad

~THURSDAY:
Breakfast: Eggs and toast, fruit
Lunch: Tuna Pasta salad, fruit
Dinner: Crock Pot Beef tips with Rice, veggies

~FRIDAY:
Breakfast: muffins and smoothies
Lunch: meat, cheese, crackers (think lunchables), fruit
Dinner: Pizza!

~SATURDAY:
Breakfast: Chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, bacon
Lunch: sandwiches and chips, fruit
Dinner: left-overs

~SUNDAY:
Breakfast: Cereal or left-over muffins
Lunch: Tuna salad or chicken salad sanwiches
Dinner: Yikes, good question-forgot to plan, have to get back to you on that one!

So that's it. Must go get ready for school! I think I'll link this to OrgJunkie's website so you can check out what others are cooking up for the week.

Blessings!

Menu-Plan Monday

I've been menu-planning a little while now. It truly is so much better than just "winging it." Last week I wound up switching days on a couple of things and I never made the chicken enchiladas. But that's okay. I had a plan and now I've moved the chicken enchiladas to today's menu. Typically on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I have to plan crockpot meals or very easy meals like spaghetti. Mondays and Thursdays are soccer and I have to leave the house at 5ish and don't get home until between 7:30 and 8pm. Wednesday is Church night and right now I'm leading a Women's Bible Study, so I have to be there around 6pm. So with that in mind, here's this week's menu:

Monday:
Breakfast: Breakfast bars, fruit
Lunch: Fish sticks, applesauce
Dinner: Chicken Enchiladas, salad, cookie

Tuesday:
Breakfast: Banana-nut muffins, fruit
Lunch: Ham & cheese rolls, carrots and ranch
Dinner: Smothered Chicken, pasta, vegies

Wednesday:
Breakfast: Eggs and biscuits
Lunch: PB&J sandwiches, cucumbers and ranch
Dinner: Scalloped Potatoes and Ham (crockpot)

Thursday:
Breakfast: Pancakes and Turkey Bacon
Lunch: Hotdogs and fruit
Dinner: Cream Style Beef Tips over noodles (Crockpot)

Friday:
Breakfast: Toast and Eggs
Lunch: Ravioli, fruit
Dinner: Chicken nuggets and fries (made at home)

Saturday:
Breakfast: Oatmeal, fruit
Lunch: egg salad sandwiches, vegie
Dinner: Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups (meatless)

Sunday:
Breakfast: Blueberry muffins
Lunch: Roast Chicken, potatoes, green beans
Dinner: Left-overs - choose your own.

Menu-Plan Monday (On Tuesday)

Thought I would try something new. Some time I hope to learn how to link up to the recipes but for this week I'm not. I have a new link to the right. I love this woman's website. I aspire to be her, I will never make it! I'm not an organizing junkie but I am learning a lot from her.

Monday:

B'fast: Eggs and biscuits
Lunch: Chicken fries, apple sauce
Dinner: Cheese Quesadillas (sp?)

Tuesday:

B'fast: Biscuits and sausage
Lunch: PB&J sandwich and bananas
Dinner: One pot spaghetti

Wednesday:

B'fast: Oatmeal w/raisins
Lunch: Ham&Cheese hot pockets, vegies w/ranch
Dinner: Eash Chicken Enchiladas, vegies

Thursday:

B'fast: pancakes, turkey sausage links
Lunch: Leftovers or turkey/cheese rolls with apples
Dinner: Either Leftovers or pizza-depends on lunch

Friday:

B'fast: Eggs and biscuits/pancakes, orange slices
Lunch: ?? (on the road or at home)
Dinner: Tacos with friends

The one pot spaghetti and chicken enchiladas are new recipes I got from the I'm an organizing junkie website to the right of my posts. We're going to a friend's camphouse this weekend so that's why I didn't put Saturday or Sunday right now. We'll be back Saturday night but I haven't thought about Sunday's meals yet. :) Menu planning really helps with eliminating the 5pm rush of "what's for dinner". I usually plan on the weekends and the shop from that list-which also saves money. Try it, you will like it!!
