So I don't have a complete menu planned for this week, but I do
have a few things planned =) So here I am, sharing.... lol, I'm not
very good at this food/blogging am I?! =)
Monday
For tonight I
offered to take my brother and sister-in-law dinner since they just welcomed
Baby Girl to the family two days ago! =) I had lots of chicken, golden
potatoes, green beans, and garlic (even enough for two meals!) and so I made
Roasted Garlicy Chicken, Potatoes, & Green Beans for Monday =) It's a
family favorite on my side, and now with Seth and I's family too! ;)
I just hope Kyle & Kristen enjoyed it!!!
Tuesday
I have a lot of
stir fry veggies hanging out in the fridge from last week... so Stir Fry is the
plan! Complete with onions, colorful peppers, mushrooms (which I had to
buy more of =), sugar snap peas, celery, and carrots. I haven't decided
if we'll do chicken or if I'll try and find a steak package in the freezer
instead =D What's your favorite?! Also... has anyone done stir fry
with quinoa? I'm debating back and forth between trying quinoa or
sticking with the familiar brown rice!
Wednesday
There's left over
collard greens in the fridge, and even though I'd love to try them a different
way sometime, it isn't going to happen this busy week. Collard Wrapped
Tilapia it is! =)
Thursday
Is quite
undecided! I really need to raid the kitchen and see if there are things
that need to be used up this week, and also what sounds good to this preggo
mommy {meaning: scrumptious and easy!
lol!}
Friday
I'm planning on
soup. Not sure what kind yet.... maybe something that can simmer on the
back of the stove all day, or in the crockpot. Or, perhaps I'll do chili
if Baby Three and I "think" that sounds good Friday morning =)
Saturday
I'll be gone all
day at Baby Sophie's (baby) shower!!! Yay! Don't know if we'll be
having dinner at my parents or at home... if here at home after I'm back,
probably a turkey sandwich with lots of romaine lettuce, a thin slice of
cheddar cheese, and yummy-I'm-preggo-craving Honey Mustard! Hehe!
Soooo... I'm
curious, does anyone else plan a menu for the week?! Or for the month???
How do you go about planning and budgeting? I'd love to learn from
you any tips and secrets you'd like to share! =)
I've just been working on our menu/grocery plan this morning so I guess I'll share, since you asked :)
ReplyDeleteTonight-Leftovers :) Beef Stroganoff
Wed- Homemade Pepperoni Pizza, with the mushrooms leftover from making the stroganoff
Thurs-Baked Omelet with plenty of veggies, biscuits and fruit
Fri-Spaghetti (because it's easy!) Thinking about trying multi-grain pasta this time.
Sat-Not sure yet....
Sun-Irish food for St. Patty's Day. Probably Corned Beef, potatoes and cabbage and Irish Soda Bread
Also.... I "need" to make a cheesecake sometime with the cream cheese I bought on a great sale at Christmas time. It's about to expire. If I have enough energy, I would also like to make bread.
Carrie, I used to try to do a weekly menu, but I always messed it up. It seems what ever I thought would be good on any given day of the week, didn't sound good on that day. Anna: I use cream cheese in in chicken strips after they are cooked and also add some red curry. It is really yummy and no carbs to boot.
