Menu Plan Monday #1
I am getting back on the weekly menu planning track. It really helps me keep the grocery bills down and saves time and energy when dinner time rolls around. I thought I would share my weekly menu plans here on the blog and at I'm An Organizing Junkie. (Love!) I generally do my meal planning on Saturday evening (woo-hoo, yeah I'm a party animal). I get my grocery list in order and then I shop on Sunday morning, in the peaceful early morning bliss at the grocery store. You all know I'm a hermit and can't stand a crowd, right? If I have to shop later in the day, on a weekend, or (gasp!) during the week with my kids, forget it - we'll eat cereal for dinner! No joke, folks. So...weekend grocery shopping just works best for me right now. Maybe that will change when the kids are both in school, as I understand one can find better "deals" during the week. :)
Anywho! Let's get to it. I'm starting with Sunday, but I think other people generally start with Monday. I'm a rebel, what can I say? A rebel that makes grocery lists on Saturday night. So sad.
Sunday
Chicken and Zucchini Kabobs with Lime Butter Sacue
Monday

(I've mentioned before that I just can't eat another turkey sandwich. I try to make myself something yummy & healthy to eat for lunch a couple days during the week.)
There you have it! That's what we're eating this week. What about you?

I really like the idea of this, I go to the store every single day and usually always with 2 kids which can go either way, good or downright terible. I think I'm going to adopt your idea and see how it goes. To me it can't really be any worse than what I'm doing , right?
Amen to shopping alone! I go when my husband comes home from work and often times it is after I put the kids to bed. I love going alone! Your menu looks great by the way.
I love shopping on Sunday mornings.
Unfortunately, the commissary stocks food on Monday when they are closed, so they are out of everything! I HATE shopping with my kids, but I am doing that because I have to, thanks to a deployment. I cannot wait for my husband to get home so I can shop in peace! :)
I need more information on these Portobello Prosciutto Burgers! Were they simply marvelous? I am not sure I can sleep tonight as I can not get them out of my mind!
Angie-Yes! They were marvelous, you need to make them very soon! The basil mayo is divine, but sometimes I just mix good mayo, a little ketchup and ground cayenne pepper--delish on these burgers! Make them soon or they will haunt your dreams until you do!!
