Happy Monday Friends! :)
We just got home from a 5 day weekend of camping & watching races with our family! The boys had SUCH a great time & were both so well behaved! I was so impressed with them! To say we are all exhausted is an under statement!
I started menu planning back when I had Dominick. It was such an easy way for me to stay on budget and keep us from the daily eating out for dinner that we did pre-children. Now, we go out maybe once or twice a month for dinner, the rest of the days I cook.
Keeping a meal plan for the week helps in the grocery store too so I am not walking around aimlessly buying whatever. After a long day at work it takes the guessing out of "what's for dinner"
Here is what's on our menu this week!
Monday - Spaghetti w/turkey meatballs, sauce & garlic bread
(Dominick requested this and I was happy to oblige!)
Tuesday- Homemade mac & cheese with salad
Wednesday- chicken tacos & rice (my kids will have cheese quesadillas & rice)
Thursday- (we usually do dinner with friends this night, we rotate weeks but I always plan a back-up meal incase schedules change) Grilled chicken salads
Friday- left overs* (I have plans to have dinner with my best friend this night)
Saturday- we wont be home for dinner this night, we will be at a wedding! :)
Sunday- pork tenderloin on the grill with mashed potatoes & corn (we sometimes got out to my father-in law's camp this day but I always menu plan for it incase we are home)
So there you have it! what's on your menu this week? I am ALWAYS on the hunt for new meal ideas for my family! :)
Until next time friends,
XO Jessica
Hope you are finding some energy after this weekend of camping!
ReplyDeleteI need to get better at meal planning before the day of. Your homemade mac and cheese sounds yummy for tonight!
