Menu Plan Monday
I have my menu planned two weeks in a row now. Another two weeks and it will become a habit or will have to be 30 times (weeks) for it to become a habit?
I think having a menu plan is so great because who wants to brainstorm what to have for dinner after a busy day of raising children, cleaning and running errands? If I pass the job of what we’re going to eat to my husband when I don’t want to think about it we end up with meat and french fries or he will go get pizza or fast food. Not good for the budget or waistline. So we will skip the fat burners for men and come up with a weeks worth of (mostly) healthy meals.
Monday - Main: Spaghetti with tomato/vegetable sauce. Side: Green salad
Tuesday – Main: Chicken casserole. Sides: Tater Tots and Bean salad.
Wednesday – Main: Soup with lentils and whatever vegetables I find on sale that day. Side: Toast.
Thursday – Main: Rice with peas, carrots and onions. Side: Green Salad
Friday- Main: Homemade Veggie Burgers on Homemade Buns Side: Homemade fries.
Saturday – Main: Homemade Pizza. Side: Green Salad
Sunday – Main: Vegetarian Chili Side: Cornbread

Yum, all of those things sound so good! I always make a 2 week menu as well, it saves so much money. Congrats on the girl, I bet your girls are so excited! It is very economical too, you already have everything for a girl. I am starting from scratch, but still very excited!

Mmm, I’m trying those veggie burgers tonight. I keep hoping I’ll find one that Clinton will, well, if not love then at least tolerate pleasently.
