Menu Plan Monday #1

Pin It

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.

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!!
