Menu Plan Monday


At our house, we don't eat breakfast or lunch together during the week, so there is minimal planning that goes into those meals. For us, the focus is dinner.

Sunday
Cereal
Sandwiches
Cheeseburgers

Monday
Sloppy Joes

Tuesday
Pancakes

Wednesday
Creamy Basil Chicken and Pasta (Macaroni Grill kit)

Thursday
Potato Cheese Soup
Beer Bread

Friday
Cheese and Chicken Pizza

Saturday
Cereal
Sandwiches
#54 / Burritos

Tonight, we took advantage of the warm Indian Summer weather and fired up the grill. We do still grill in the winter, just not as frequently or easily. On Saturday, #54 is the meal my husband orders at our Favorite Mexican Restaurant. I make a knock off version of it for him. The rest of us generally do burritos because his meal is a bit spicier than the kids prefer. The unknown in our schedule this week is a possible visit from my parents. If they come, they will be here for dinner on Friday and Saturday, which may influence our menu for one or both of the nights.

Weekdays breakfast is at daycare for my daughter, the rest of us eat cold cereal, frozen waffles, oatmeal, toast or whatever strikes our fancy. Lunch we pack, usually leftovers for me. My son either packs or buys lunch at school. If he packs, it is generally a lunch meat sandwich or a PB&J with some sides.

The recipe "#54" is such a great idea. My husband love taquitos, but I never think to make those at home. I'm sure we'd save a lot of money. Thanks!
