I haven’t posted a menu plan in weeks.  I have been cooking some, but mostly we’ve been eating from the freezer.  I’m ready to get back into the swing of things.  The weather is supposed to be decent this week, so we’ll use the grill before it gets cold again.

Monday
Chicken Noodle Soup with bread from bread machine

Tuesday
Sweet Turkey Sausage on grill with sweet potatoes fries and salad

Wednesday
Burgers on grill with pasta salad

Thursday
Leftovers

Friday
Dinner with friends

Saturday
Kids have a birthday party with pizza

Sunday
BBQ pork in crock pot with salad and veggies

This weeks menu plan has been difficult.  I’m just at a total loss on what to make.  Please tell me I’m not the only one who has these moments.  I’m also unable to get into the garage freezer.  Derrick painted the garage floor over the weekend (we use it as our entrance), but the paint is still wet.

Monday
Breakfast for dinner – daddy pancakes

Tuesday
Homemade pizza with salad

Wednesday
Fish Tacos with Mexican rice

Thursday
Meat Loaf with Freezer Mashed Potatoes

Friday
Dinner Out

Saturday
Lasagna (make 1 for dinner and 1 for freezer)

Sunday
TBD

I was feeling off last week, so I didn’t really stick to my menu plan or even cook much. Good thing the kids like grilled cheese!  I didn’t finish up my freezer cooking either.  I’m hoping to get back on track this week, so you’ll notice some repeats.

Monday
Nachos with cooked pinto beans and ground turkey
(make freezer mashed potatoes)
(make chicken salad for lunches)

Tuesday
Shredded beef with freezer mashed potatoes

Wednesday
Pork Fried Rice with egg rolls I got free from Harris Teeter

Thursday
Burritos with shredded beef and Mexican rice that I will attempt to make

Friday
Burger on grill with pasta salad

Saturday
Dinner Out

Sunday
Probably BBQ Chicken??

I’m not designating any days to my menu plan this week.  I’ll be getting some freezer cooking done, so we’ll eat some of whatever I feel like cooking that day.  The chicken wasn’t thawed yesterday, so I’m making crock pot chicken today.

Crock pot Chicken–Monday
Chicken Baked Ziti
Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole
Linguine with clam sauce (recipe to follow)
Speedy Pork Fried Rice (will post recipe if good)
Cheddar cheese, zucchini and carrot soup with homemade bread-didn’t make the other week
Dinner Out

My goal this week is to cook from my stockpile.  I’ll still shop for the great deals, but I need to use some of what I already have sitting around.  I’ll only need to purchase a zucchini for all the meals this week!  I plan to bake some this weekend too, muffins and something else since the kids go back to school on Tuesday.

Monday
Chicken on the grill with leftover pasta salad

Tuesday
Homemade pizza (trying this pizza sauce, so I don’t have to buy any) with salad

Wednesday
