When I was pregnant and could barely move, we ate out A LOT! This is very hard on our limited budget, so now I'm ready to plan ahead and save money! We have tons of wonderful cookbooks from all of the churches we've been a part of so I took one and wrote down all of the meals that looked good (defined: quick, easy, takes only a few normal ingredients, and the kids will eat it!) and the page number of the book. Now I have many to choose from each week and I can plan ahead to grocery shop at the beginning of the week. This week I can't get to town to "the Walmart" until Tuesday, so I'll use an old standard and make a new variation I found.So thanks to the Organizing Junkie I'm attempting my first MENU PLAN MONDAY!!!!
Monday: Spaghetti pie & salad
Tuesday: Homemade Macaroni & Cheese
Wednesday: Hot Dogs (Softball practice & Meetings night)
Thursday: Black Bean Quesadillas w/salsa & Mexi-Corn
Friday: Pizza & Popcorn (Family movie night!)
Saturday: Grilled Flank Steak & Johnny's Brown Rice (Yum!)
Sunday: Chicken Salad Sandwiches & Strawberry Shortcake--Happy Mother's Day!
I'll be happy to share any of these recipes with anyone and feel free to share your favorites with me! All of these recipes come from "Saving Dinner" by Leanne Ely & "The Heart of Cooking" by ParkwayHills Baptist Church.....missing you.
